Game Thread: Illinois at Ohio State

[Retro62]

If Trent didn’t have to sit our three point shooting would have improved this half

 

[Deleted member 747802]

Should be a 10-12 point lead...

 

[thehass]

We are giving up too many offensive rebounds

 

[Calillini]

Disagree. Hearing his voice means we are relevant again.

There a price to pay for relevance. It could be worse. Bill Walton

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

Up 4 and they get the ball 1st in the second half.

 

[Illini_Jack]

This one gonna go down to the wire

 

[DICKnaggie]

Too many offensive rebounds for OSU.

 

[FromTheLogo]

DosunmO? Dickie V..... C'mon. That's 4 times.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Should be up more than 4 but overall pretty solid half

 

[CurbeloYourEnthusiasm]

41-37 at half. Feels like we should be up more

 

[Icy veins]

That was what we had coming out of a time out?

They wanted a 2 for 1 because there was 45 seconds left. Probably told Belo to go for a quick layup or kick out to a 3

That was what we had coming out of a time out?

We were going 2 for 1. Doesn't work when you give up the offensive rebound.

 

[Retro62]

Not a great end to the half...I hope we come out with our UM intensity in the second half.

 

[Deleted member 747756]

Why didn’t the clock stop after Liddell scored?

 

[azillini1]

Kofi with only 2 rebounds in the first half. Maybe he can come out and dominate in the 2nd half like he has numerous times. We also get Trent back so maybe we get a few 3's to fall. OSU can't stay this hot from 3!!!

 

[Chitownkid]

I just have the feeling when our season ends it’s gonna be because we leave too many points at the line.

 

[GrayGhost77]

Not comfortable with only a 4 pt lead. Hopefully tOSU 3 pt shooting regresses to closer to their average and we pick up ours.

Not as long as I have a mute button.

 

[Illini_1979]

Belo first half: 11 pts., 4 ast., 3 reb., 1 TO and 1 PF.

I'll take the same in the second half please.

 

[FromTheLogo]

Their size hurt us a bit. Offensive boards and post position (Sueing). Hit a couple 3's and we'll be fine.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Trent will bring both the defense and offense up a few notches in the second half. Not worried.

 

[mikeyo]

DosunmO? Dickie V..... C'mon. That's 4 times.

It’s not a mistake. Expect it for rest of game

 

[dfifo]

Seriously tired of ESPN switching stations. I was starting the game late hoping my recording would work. Nope. Missed first ten Minutes AGAIN! We have the technology why cant they figure this out.

 

[fuggles]

We play like that in the second half and we win easily.

 

[Icy veins]

Belo first half: 11 pts., 4 ast., 3 reb., 1 TO and 1 PF.

I'll take the same in the second half please.

Sheeeeesh dudes a baller
