Game Thread: Illinois at Ohio State

[Ilanoy]

Epps can't even tie his shoe cost us a bucket.

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Shouldn't stepping on a guy's foot enough to remove his shoe be a foul?

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Wow, this board isn't even angry right now. It's like we're resigned to the "they are who we thought they are" mentality. That's a little tongue in cheek, but the tone is definitely different.

Dain: GET ON THE FLOOR

 

[NarrowJ]

DD absolutely refused to get on the floor for that loose ball.

 

[Illini8420]

Bring in Rodgers and Harris already I’ve seen enough

 

[FeelYourPaign]

At least that (missed) 3 was open and in rhythm

Yes, Jaden Epps is the only player to ever lose his shoe in an NCAA game.

No energy to be angry when it is like this every game...

 

[Jon]

Dains done for the day.

 

[eas23]

Oh cool, now time for the lazy turnovers and missed layups.

 

[New Creation]

Really getting tired of seeing this team shoot threes. For real.

 

[Ilanoy]

Yes, Jaden Epps is the only player to ever lose his shoe in an NCAA game.

It's more about him getting burned for layups 6 times this game and contributing 2 points and 2 turnovers.

 

[New Creation]

Dains done for the day.

Needs to be.

 

[grantlab]

Good effort for MM on D this half

 

[OrangeAndBlueBlooded]

Dain is on a REALLY short leash. I don't understand.

Please realize what is at stake here today before it is too late

 

[Coop70]

CH absolutely telegraphs his interior passes. Gives it 2 or 3 shakes and wonders why it's intercepted.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Usually I'm not a big proponent of questioning heart or mental preparedness, but this is the one game that it can't be ignored. We have more talented, we have something to play for and we did nothing more than put the jerseys on and roll the ball out.

 

[808Illini]

Like the effort I’m seeing from Epps so far.

I dunno but the simultaneous smack to Epps groin should've been

There are no big ten championship at stake here.. what are you smoking? This team has no shot.

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

what is this nonsense with the refs now?

 

[eas23]

Interesting from a basketball education standpoint to watch teams nail jumpers from the B1G logo against us over and over again. That's a shot we never take on the offensive end.
