Game Thread: Illinois at Ohio State

[IlliniFan4Life]

Horrible shot selection - drive to the basket and move on offense to get open. Offensive rebounds?

 

[New Creation]

If someone’s FT % isn’t above 75% they shouldn’t be allow to shoot threes.

 

[Ramrod2010]

Is this a Quad 3 game?

 

[Seagee]

Is it just me, or does Dain look tentative going to the rim? Go hard under the basket. You're more likely to get the foul than be called for it there.

Same with his rebounding. Has lead in his shoes today

 

[BRucks]

Rebounds 18-7

We’re not coming back from another 18 point half time hole. Don’t let it get to that please

OSU out-boarding us 19 to 7. We have to turn this around, but part of this is our 29% shooting and OSU's 63% shooting.

We have been sucked into playing Ohio States game. This happens in the B1G, especially on the road.

What is frustrating is that this OSU team starts 4 freshman and those freshman are controlling the game.

Here’s to adjusting and playing our game.

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

Rogers bringing the energy right now.

It is 9:30 am here in Vegas. Not happy I got up this early to watch a lazy start. I could have sleep in until the 2nd half.

And why do we keep throwing oops, we have t completed on alley-op this year. Everyone has been a turnover. But they just keep repeating the same mistakes everygame.

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

Come on, guys. I cannot stomach a loss to an 11-17 team in this completely underwhelming atmosphere at this stage in the season.

 

[FeelYourPaign]

33-20 at the under 4:00 commercial break. Sheesh

 

[roger murdock]

Do we get charged for garbage cans destroyed in road games ?

 

[PrideOfGreenSt]

We are very talented. We just can’t shoot. Which is kind of important.

Plummer on this team would be huge.

I feel like shooting is a talent. We don’t have too many guys with that talent.

Do we get charged for garbage cans destroyed in road games ?

If so, I'll contribute

[illinipimp]

How many layup’s has Ohio State made?

 

[Deep]

Can't stop them on defense.
Its too easy for them

 

[eas23]

This really needs to be like a 6-7 point game at halftime. Like cosmically or something. Not just in the context of winning or losing today.

 

[New Creation]

OSU out-boarding us 19 to 7. We have to turn this around, but part of this is our 29% shooting and OSU's 63% shooting.

That is a common theme in the first half. I’m over saying that the opposing team just can’t miss.

 

[Illini8420]

Epps needs to keep scoring because he’s really not giving us anything on defense

 

[D1959]

Can somebody name the last time we got off to a good start in a game?

 

[Homecoming 2019]

Epps needs to keep scoring because he’s really not giving us anything on defense

Shocked Brad has given him such a long leash today.

 

[GrayGhost77]

Every single game it's the same thing. Sluggish start before a sense of urgency finally materializes, then they finally start to put it together. Why can't they ever just do that for a full 40 minutes?

 

[grantlab]

At a certain point you just have to make shots, and that’s the difference. Hand in the face and McNeil is draining ‘em; relatively open looks and sometimes we’re barely drawing iron. You can say a lot about this team, but we certainly haven’t been one for hot shooting starts as of late…
