Game Thread: Illinois at Ohio State

[The Galloping Ghost]

I love that our freshmen are leading the way, but Tomi and Kylan simply need to be better.

Stojakovic playing pretty good defense on Thornton this half.

 

[Battle89]

these foul calls are getting silly

Comment DID age well

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

FLOP

 

[IllinoisGrad0609]

Blocking foul.

 

[TheodoreRex]

Theme of the 2nd half- Whistle, whistle, whistle.

 

[BBlock24]

Every time I think we’re going to pull away, they come right back.

 

[ChiTown]

This foul calls are getting ridiculous.

 

[aveseaboy]

Why aren’t we seeing any Mihailo?

 

[TheodoreRex]

This foul calls are getting ridiculous.

Both ways too.

 

[sacraig]

Honestly...other than Thornton stratospheric...this is pretty much how I thought it would play out. OSU zero depth...foul trouble.

Make FT's and this is @sacraig road kill .gif.

 

[Hessel Blvd]

Why? We shoot a higher percentage

Edit: I checked, we do, but not by much

yeah, like he said, we have more bodies, and they just got their second player in double figures. they don't have quite as much firepower

 

[IllinoisGrad0609]

36 fouls in 35 minutes. This is silliness.

 

[NarrowJ]

This foul calls are getting ridiculous.

Hasn’t even been a super physical game, they’re just blowing whistles on everything

 

[sacraig]

Why aren’t we seeing any Mihailo?

He's invisible.

 

[skyIdub]

It's ugly, but such an advantage for us. Grinds the game to a crawl, keeping Thornton from getting hot again.

[curtmoss]

What foul?!?

 

[The pop of Champaign]

This is just sad. No contact

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Who fouled there? Nobody touched him

 

[spillini]

Foulfest is just a bad product

 

[foby]

NO FOUL AT ALL

 

[IlliniFan42]

I'd like to not miss the free throw, Peacock

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

That's the maddening part of how we play. We are a beautiful offensive machine for three minutes, then can't score and can't defend for the next three.

 

[FloridaMan]

Officials ruin the B10 product. EVERY. DAMN. YEAR.
