Game Thread: Illinois vs Ohio State

[freebird6]

Mav is getting mauled on the boards ....decent position just not going after the ball

 

[BPFor3]

How about a little consistency Teddy? Jeez.

 

[illiniknight]

Need to run some plays for Nunn. He is the only one hitting today.

 

[coltjames03]

apparently The Bucks can just do what they want travel push off who cares

 

[geneseo]

Offensive rebounds 12-3 bad guys. Geesh.

 

[Captain Bubbles]

OSU keeps crashing the offensive glass and those second chance points are helping.

If we don't have a single player willing to sack up and grab a rebound then we are going to lose this game. How many 2nd chance points for osu? They should be embarrassed

 

[Sizzler22]

The ball sticks so much it's depressing. Move the ball around. It's always iso, anybody know how many baskets have come from assists??

 

[QCChief]

This may be the worst officiating I have ever seen in a game of basketball. So far anyway.

Nunn is 4/5, rest of team 3/18

that and the diagonal cross court passes are keeping the defense scrambling and out of position

 

[coltjames03]

I'm at the point where I'm all for Groce getting t'd up

 

[FeelYourPaign]

Frustrated right now. Losing the battle of the little things

Only have 7 buckets... 4 assists

OSU is crashing aggressively and honestly, even if they foul, it's hard to see everything and call everything when teams are aggressive at rebounding. On a side note, I've specifically observed our screens for most of the game and something struck me.. Our screeners are doing fine but the guards are TERRIBLE at using the screen. You are taught in like 3rd grade to rub shoulders with the guy setting you the screen. But we run by the screener like he has a disease.

 

[Butkuser]

I think Mav may be the only player in college with a vertical in negative numbers.

 

[geneseo]

Last bucket at 7:47

 

[PaytonHighstep]

Illinois had scored 5 pts in roughly the last 8 minutes... Terrible

 

[aluma]

Holy balls, Mav just got mauled on that play and NO FREAKIN FOUL

 

[BDoug]

KN is not afraid. Gonna need a big night from him the rest of the way.

 

[Captain Bubbles]

15-3 OSU run. Buckeyes are rolling.

 

[geneseo]

tOSU guards haven't scored... all front line.

? The worst ever? Not great but not even close to the worst.

 

[Adnarel]

How can Mav come out so weak after a career game? How does he not get it?

 

[coltjames03]

The worst was against Zona awhile back
