Game Thread: Illinois vs Ohio State

[azillini1]

FT's missed for us and 3 point shooting by OSU are the difference, as we have caught up in rebounding

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

I wonder if we should guard #10 outside the arc

 

[skyIdub]

Not sure what you are watching....Liddell is 1st team all Big 10

I posted exactly what I'm watching....a 12/6 guy having a career game.

 

[SuperMetroid]

So 2 guys having a career day for them? Sounds about right.

 

[azillini1]

Now we make our move or the game is over.

Credit to Ohio State. Most teams when they break the press back it off. But Ahrens has drilled 2 huge 3s this half in early shot clock situations

Happens with regularity against us

 

[GallopingGhost]

Would someone please dribble drive on Ahrens and get him his last foul please. He’s killing us

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

GOD, I know this loss would be on US, but if they could ever miss a three we’d frickin’ be in this thing.

 

[DICKnaggie]

Have t correct over helping. It's killed us for the last couple of years.

 

[thedrunkreferee]

What are we getting from pressing them? STOP PRESSING BRAD! HOLY CRAP!

Possibly the biggest mistake of the game. He should have been off the floor a long time ago.

 

[Tacomallini]

Ahrens have an OSU logo on his mouthpiece or something?

 

[GallopingGhost]

This is gonna be “wow what a gutsy comeback to lose by 5”

Agree. This happens regularly. That's what happens when you come out and let a team feel comfortable from the tip. They get confident, catch fire, and it's contagious. Recipe for getting rolled.

Awh the misery of being an Bears and Illni fan just good enough to make you watch.

 

[skyIdub]

Seriously people....Liddell made 3 three pt shots.....ALL YEAR....and has 4 today along with making almost every shot he's put up.

Now he's First TEam All B1G. Ok.

Evan turner was a 14/6 guy. Fwiw

I don't think it's a fluke anymore. Every once in a while, it can happen. However, with the frequency it happens against us....now you have to start looking at the perimeter defense. Today, Liddell was getting open top of the circle jumpers, time after time and was making them. Why was Kofi on him? Stretch 4's and 5's are going to give this team fits.

Travel? Lol

 

[CogDog]

Obvious travel there.

Thank you. That's the first time I've chuckled since noon (ET). I was thinking same. Perhaps he has some extra motivation when he plays us? Or maybe we just match up poorly against him.

 

[illinitiger]

Announcers like OSU

 

[LostinNebraska]

This crew sucks

Always a career day against us. It happens so often, maybe it's our defense and defensive strategy.
