Game Thread: Illinois at Ohio State

[GallopingGhost]

On a scale of “getting the benefit of the doubt” on foul calls. Luke is about a 0. I think about 70% of his really well defended plays are called as fouls.

We need Marcus and Luke to step it up on D. They are just getting shredded out there. OSU playing with a lot of energy but gotta stay with them.

They’re scoring on us at every position. If defense doesn’t matter, we aren’t doing anything in March. We were so good at D to start the year. I don’t get this.

65% from the field? Seriously??

 

[zentrails]

What happened to the stellar defense? Fell off a cliff.

It's been awful so far today, jeeez

 

[Illiniprime]

So soft what happened to the defense

Today’s officiating brought to us by the Ohio State University

 

[Luhmania]

I mean, are they just gonna keep them in the game??

 

[Bigtex]

Osu 65% from the field

 

[IllianaOne]

We’re playing like we’re asleep but still in it. Let’s hope they wake up soon.

OSU shooting 65% from the floor, to our 44%. Illini are outrebounding them 10-6 in a one possession game. Surely they cannot stay that hot through the entire game.

 

[21ChampaignSt]

Our defense is not good anymore. Absolutely mind boggling.

Seems like the refs are watching to see if the ball goes in prior to blowing the whistle

 

[HailtotheChief]

Terrance needs to revert to his old self or Domask is the man and we are limited.

 

[TheodoreRex]

Fun fact, OSU has made 11 fg's so far today. They made a total of 14 against Northwestern on Saturday...

 

[Jon]

Are we really gonna let them out booty us??

 

[BRucks]

Rebounding well so far.

 

[New Creation]

Thank you QG

 

[Jimbo]

Boy we needed that three by QG

 

[skyIdub]

We are absolutely broken on defense. This is ridiculous. Layups and easy 2's.....every possession.

 

[illini12345]

That Luke shot was hilarious

NU defended screens completely differently. Hedged every thing with their slower guys. And it killed OSU. How the F do you watch that and say “nah, not for me.”

 

[skyIdub]

Domask with the octo-fake!

 

[ChiTown]

Goode is a defensive liability sometimes.

Drive, kick, and drive baby
