Game Thread: Illinois vs Ohio State

[WizardBill]

Good offense, Grandy just missed the open 3. Good ball movement.

 

[Loyalillini10]

Yeah, I don't like that look.

He has had those taped for multiple games.

BU is managing the minutes extremely well. The defense had zero let up when he went to the bench.

Elite. Defense.

Up 17 I'd like to see some of the deeper bench guys get a few minutes of tick. Save a little for 2nd half.

No way. Keep the foot on the gas. 17 point leads can evaporate quickly.

Ohio State is playing like their super bowl was yesterday

I want Tyler in double figures by the end of this two-hour infomercial for Illini basketball

Bruce's sister texted exactly that to Bruce before the game.

Tom Izzo told me that Gonzaga wouldn’t have beaten fort hays state that night without their coach and best player, they were just that good. Also Bill Self is always cheating.

I truly think they are just gassed. They're playing without Young too.

 

[LostinNebraska]

Our guys are playing with joy and energy - the Buckeyes look like they'd be happy to call it at halftime.

No complaints so far. Wasn't really expecting OSU to shoot 15%. I had forgotten how tough that 4th game is.

Huge advantage to finish in Top 4. Hoping we have a Top 4 seed in each of the next 15 years.

True. True. Especially if your starters wear down

 

[Illini_Jack]

I really want to see us put our foot down. No more letting teams back in games or hang around.

Thinking back to how this team looked in November, it’s crazy to see how far we’ve come defensively. Elite offense and solid defense back in the fall — Elite offense and arguably better defense in March. Gotta give credit to the coaching staff there.

Keep playing this level of defense and it’s in the bag

OMG another Garza reference

Speaking of illinois and ohio state, how about that garza guy?

 

[altenberger22]

Should be a 25-30 pt game for Kofi.
