Officiating has not been great in this one but neither has our shooting or rebounding. Have to pressure defensively.

Is this the same Ohio State team that lost by 25 at Indiana? and 30 at Maryland?

The aprilaire commercial house is the epitome of Illinois basketball. "I dry out your skin and make you sick."

OK, I'm not going to post again until we take the lead.

Let's get hot and pull this ugly mess of a game out.

Watching Bates-Diop succeed is killing me. We almost had him.

I don't understand why we don't force a little press here? Down 9 with 5 minutes...that's how Iowa got back in their game versus Michigan State or whoever they came back against about two weeks ago. I know we're not Iowa but we can't let them run 20-30 seconds off the clock and then hope to stop them every posession.

Giddings has been an idjut the last few games. Aggressive is one thing but he is just whacking people out there

Morgan the better free throw shooter so it worked out well...(Mav misses free throw) :(

I know we as a fan base have been thirsty for a 5 star player and that we somehow believe they will be our programs savior but look no further than Kentucky, Kansas, and Ohio State to see that they don't always add much to your program right away.

Brutal. tOSU wants to give us a chance and we refuse to take it.

If we don't press now I don't know how we expect to win this game. We're not stopping them in a regular defensive set...

Down 11 late and still no trying for an offensive rebound....Groce and his bum staff have no clue how to make an adjustment....I'm saying tank and clean house....most frustrated I've been in 38 years of loyally watching this team

the reason I get so upset is because I still think Illinois basketball is in the same place it was 8 years ago. The truth is it isn't and if I start thinking that way maybe these terrible losses and recruiting missed won't hurt as much
