Game Thread: Illinois vs Ohio State

[ejam21]

LOL OSU is making some GARBAGE shots......

 

[CurbeloYourEnthusiasm]

EJ's got no chance guarding Kofi in the post. If Ohio State is going to play that matchup, we gotta make them pay

 

[illiniguy24]

I really can’t decide how good we are. Teams just always make shots on us it feels like, and we can’t hit anything if it isn’t within 5-7 feet of the basket.

 

[LouHenson]

Kofi simply must touch the ball every time down whenever we are in half court offense

Kofi's composure after getting an offensive board is getting worse?

 

[CubsWin]

Here we go again.

 

[the juiceman cometh]

Another game, another slow start...

 

[CurbeloYourEnthusiasm]

Ohio State is hitting everything. Well we are always at our best after we get down 10+ in the 1st half

 

[BRucks]

Pathetic

But they are also getting way too open too often too.

 

[New Creation]

these slow starts... every single game.. I think it is time to start Andre and push the pace and bring TF off the bench

 

[GallopingGhost]

Here’s the part we’re we get down double digits. Every game. Why?

 

[Steelyunk]

Time out coach. Nobody’s guarding. Bad shots.

 

[Illiniwekreturns]

Time to accept what the eyes are seeing. We are just not that good. This team has no shot at 2nd weekend NCAA

 

[CentralILLini]

Liddell roasting us again.

 

[LouHenson]

This simply should not be happening. We can’t start anything but slow. Starting to question if we really are that good. We may come back and win this game, but patterns are starting to be disturbing

 

[Deleted member 747277]

Insult meet injury=Liddell picking us apart AGAIN—showing us exactly what we’re missing.

 

[grantlab]

Oof. Last couple threes for OSU were the definition of “uncontested”

 

[BWBW]

This is worrisome

 

[Illini_Jack]

Ugh

 

[ChocolateThunder]

Same song, different verse. Better pick up the defensive intensity

 

[LostinNebraska]

Terrible D effort right now. Huge Belo fan but his +/- is atrocious so far today.

 

[BBlock24]

Illini overrated af.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Getting clowned on defense right now
