Nunn going on the last fast break and 12 reaches out and grabs him, no call.

Offensive foul called on Loving and he goes up, after the whistle and hangs on the rim with no one around.

The Boys hanging in there

Hopefully MH and KN can keep their conditioning for the entire 40 minutes... We are going to need their legs (and the rest of their games) at the end.

I like the effort we are seeing so far.

It's been a nice first half, but given recent past there's no reason to not be expecting the worse after the break, unfortunately.


I'm hoping for the reverse-psychology effect, where we go into halftime down and come out hot.

tOSU 13-15 from the line. Illini 1-1

As Beckman would say... "If there weren't FTs in basketball, we would be winning".

Could be a lot worse of a deficit than it is right now.

Was that Tim Finke in the halftime shot?
Edit: that's probably a really bad question, but who was the guy in the orange hoodie?

Wonder why no Malcolm the last couple mins. Surely he could have drawn a defender or 2 on those oob plays without exerting too much energy. I know we're probably trying to rest him but seems like a missed opportunity

Hopefully we even that out. tOSU is the worst ft shooting team in conference. So hopefully we can get a few shots and their percentage evens out.

Didn't he pick up his second foul with 11 or so minutes left? Don't want him to pick up number three before halftime.

Oh good. It wasn't just me wondering why Malcolm wasn't in for that last play. :confused:

He has 2 fouls

Great defensive half by MH, but not much on the other end.
Wonder if it evens out over the course of the next half.

I believe it was more about fouls than energy

The fight is there but Illinois is really under sized in this game. Need Hill and Finke to add some offense.
