Big Ten cant be happy the way this game is being called.

You have a huge national audience and the refs are going to have stars sit down due to fouls??

B1G needs a new supervisor of officials. Where have you gone Welmer, Hillary and Hightower?

Washington with 15 of their points. We need someone to stop him.

Ayo 3-10 from the field, Kofi 3-6 from the line. Problem today.

Hopefully having Belo back in there along with miller’s defense will be all we need in the 2nd half. I felt like OSU chipped away at our lead as soon as Miller picked up his 2nd.

Needs to be unceremoniously canned along with Warren.

We rip Bardo for being an anti-homer at times, but I’ll take that over Kellogg practically waving a foam #1 finger for an OSU anyday

Exactly. It's not like OSU is some middle-of-nowhere D3 school or something. They are in the conference title game for a reason. They are legit, people.

Still, had them down 17. If they just play even, we're in great shape. They got outscored by 12 in the last 8 minutes....can't happen, regardless of how good they are. We're a team that really, really struggles to extend a lead. It's happened(vs Michigan), but more times that not....a bit lead whittles away.

My wife went to Nebraska and has no dog in the fight and she's like, that guy (Clark Kellogg) is rooting for Ohio State, right

Need to say this....I was critical, and rightly so, of Kofi's catching ability, holding onto the ball, as well as his willingness to pass back out. He has improved on both, especially his ability to hold onto the ball which has proven a huge boost to this team's consistency. Hope it continues.

That said, defensive intensity and focus is the key to victory here. Both teams should be exhausted by the end of the game. Hopefully, Illini depth and confidence will prove the difference.

While I agree on some level, this happens to most teams. You just (I'm guessing) watch way more Illini games than other teams.
