So, in absence of a mutual forfeit, we're rooting for the Buckeyes tonight, right?
Clearly, Pacific will pull off the upset of the century against the Zags.

The good thing about the Iowa vs OSU game is one of them will lose. We still have OSU, so I guess we want them to win. I hate both teams.
No, we need Iowa to win because we have lost to OSU and we need cushion. We beat Iowa so we have a tie breaker
Good points - ugh.
It is hard to pull for enemies LOL
My sentiments exactly. But, either way, we still benefit.
This is the correct Illini thinking..
Yes, but OSU has a significantly easier remaining schedule. Them and Purdue could both conceivably win out. It's unlikely, but not impossible. Iowa has some brutal road games left just like we do.

How did we beat this Iowa team?
Still really, really pains me to watch EJ Lidell play. Boy I wanted him to be an Illini SO. BAD.
Ill never forget him saying Ohio State was his dream school.

Watching this game, it’s obvious, when we are focused, we are far superior defensively than either of them.
Iowa's D is terrible. They will lose early in the tourney
This has been a fun game to watch. Good basketball being played.
Takeaways from this game (for the 8 people on this thread)
1. Iowa really needs Fredericks back
2. Ohio State is the real deal, like the real real deal...especially when they shoot like they did tonight
3. That jersey was looking a little tight on Garza
who did not have his best game, and they had to have it

2nd half choke by the Hawks. Love it. They look softer than we did during our bad home stretch in January.

Damn, I am conditioned to think of Iowa as the top dog (or one of them) in the conference and to root for them to lose, but ... OSU is sneaking up there. Big Ten standings are getting really interesting, and we need to win a lot of huge games to keep pace, starting Saturday!

On that last possession of the game they looked so slow and unathletic.
