The Finke/Black combo in the frontcourt is certainly exploitable in principle, but has been wildly effective against tOSU. Keep it up!

Everyone complains about Groce and team etc. Well the fans are just as bad as anyone as well. Never seen a place so quiet even when winning like they are

Thorne has thrown up two awkward shots and played matador D. There's a reason Mav is playing. Thorne and Jordan haven't played well in their time. Everyone else has so far.

If you haven't noticed both centers are struggling on O, shooting over Thompson.. Thorne is playing fine, Mav a little better. Chasing Thompson isn't easy, but our duo is trying. Potter is going to be very good four year player for the Buckeyes

I agree every time the cut to the crowd it's on someone slouched over not paying attention. If the Krush was in this win would be locked in

Most of them are probably pulling for us to lose... :(

Tate steal allows us to go up 11 at the half.

Black with 8 boards I believe

No, I'm wrong. 9 boards

Nice 1st half... Now let's see if they have the stones to finish strong.

Bodied up, avoided the foul and was in position to grab the loose ball. He's playing very well tonight. He looks a lot more decisive and confident. Now I he could see a couple go through the net...

Black's rebounding and defense makes us look like a BIG basketball team. Tate is playing as well as he has played all year.

That was a pretty good first half by the Illini, now go finish off them buckeyes in the second half.

Looks like we came out inspired tonight. Abrams playing really well.

Tate doing some nice work. Did you see that kick out for a three when two guys were on Tate? I didn't think anyone ever guarded Tate.

Great sequence by Tate.

Made up for a sequence earlier. Where we benefited from him running up the Offensive players back causing him to walk, missed jumper which neutralized the missed foul/traveling call, then TA passing him up. It's a small but very vocal group of fans that don't realize there isn't going to be a shutout put on the opposing team.

After all the nut punches these past few years, can you blame them?

Up 14 or 15 with 3:00 left. Let it go down to 8or 9 but finished half up 11, with Hill on bench in last few minutes. Tracy playing VERY well. Couple nice defensive strips by JCL and Tate. LB fighting like a dog for RBs. Going zone on D helped. OSU serving this game on a plate for us. I hope we don't go into the usual let-them-back-in mode, come out and play like our hair's on fire (and for Finke, that would be a real good thing), and crush these guys.

I think the white shoes make Tracy look a step quicker tonight. He had a really solid first half. He ran the show.

Thorne and Malcolm are the only two who look a little slow so far tonight. Overall, nice 1st half guys!
