Game Thread: Illinois at Ohio State

[zentrails]

We went 10 deep in the first half? Is that correct?

And the second 5 were at least as good as the starters, maybe better

 

[SkyysNotFalling]

That's what I'm seeing. His shots don't look bad(they have the last couple games) and he looks comfortable out there(he hasn't the last couple). His second foul was a hustle play that he got carried away on closing out and his first was an offensive foul from him going at the hoop. Ok. I'm good with what I'm seeing out him.

Agreed! Just needs to see some go in and it’s all good.

Osu shot well for them and we are still up 7, bury them this half and move on!

 

[IMPE Legend]

DGL and Hansberry really stepped up that half with some needed strong minutes. They may not touch the floor again tonight but it was great to see! DGL had the look of a determined defender

 

[BBlock24]

Fits better with this group. I like Dain, but he's an outlier.

Also his confidence must be shot from lack of playing time.

 

[stlrunner]

Can we calm down on Terrence? He hasn’t forced anything, shots just aren’t going in… he’ll be fine I love the energy he’s bringing today but JMO. Looks way more comfortable today.

I didn’t see his first one, but the 2 misses from 3 I’ve seen looked way better than the past couple games…they just didn’t fall. Just gotta be patient. Other than biting on the pump fake, he’s looked better, I thought.

 

[Jimbo]

Yes TSJ has looked fine. Had some good looks but just didn;t make them.

Key for us is if Harmon and Guerrier are engaged and contributing. We really need them. They’ve shown up tonight.

Agreed, I’m not even kind of worried he will not figure it out … he will. We just need other guys to step up until he’s there, because we have to go on a winning streak here.

5-11 from 3. Excellent.

This. He is looking sharp on the road. About 85% back, with most of that 15% being shot making.

I agree but Hansberry sure doesn't play like a frosh.
Hope the back has healed completely

 

[Manual3for4peat]

First five minutes could be huge here. Come out with the same effort we finished the half with on d and we cruise. Don’t let them back in it.

 

[IllinistrandedinHouston]

Welp...the Peacock gobbler ended up sucking me in. I started watching right before Domask made that big three with 5 minutes left. You can thank me later

Is anyone elses peacock at times not lining up between video and audio? For me the audio keeps being behind and then it fixes when i refresh. Just annoying but NBD

 

[zentrails]

Defense did improve towards the end of the half.

Goode and TSJ on the bench. Neither is especially good on D today

 

[1970 John]

You can see it in his body language. At least I think I can.

Not laggy for me tonight.

Crowd has-been subdued, nothostile at all. Not much noise from empty seats

 

[phats22]

In his 4th game back from suspension, TSJ is just a liability on the floor. Shooting is 1 for 7 against lesser competition today, and other aspects of his game have declined noticeably as well. He is one of my absolute favorite Illini, but his issues are badly affecting his game and he is playing his way out of the NBA draft. I hope he and Brad get this figured out, both for the team and his future. He is far too talented to stay stuck in this current slump.

3 in and out threes and 2 in and out layups pls relax lol

 

[foby]

Great start!

 

[madillini4]

Anybody else’s peacock kinda tweaking?

 

[BRucks]

Rodgers FTs are so much better.
