Game Thread: Illinois vs Ohio State

[CubsIlliniFan]

We're outrebounding them 13-8? We have 4 offensive rebounds, they have 3.

I was meaning on the D glass.

Giorgi just HAS to be smarter there. No reason to reach in.

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

This would be (more of) a rout without the refs slowing this game down

If DMFW is feeling confident and shooting his shot this is going to get ugly quick for O$U.

This!

My new dream is 6+ points for Tyler U in the Big Ten Championship

Buckeyes look leg-dead.

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

We have grabbed 11 of their 14 misses.

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

Buckeyes look leg-dead.

Its mental also.

4 games in 4 days will do this:

Tired of hearing how OSU is tired. Illini played four straight days in 1999 and were tied with MSU at half in final.

Ayo getting mad. Not a good idea OSU.

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

I hate how, when we're clearly playing superior ball, the announcers bring out the excuse train for OSU

 

[altgeld88]

Trent D!!

 

[Govoner Vaugn Fan]

Game plan for the Buckeyes seems to be drive the paint and draw the foul. We know they aren't going to continue to miss all their shots, we've got to take advantage of their cold spell from the field.

Is 27-10 taking advantage?

I remember that game! Serge!!!

 

[WizardBill]

Wow! That Trent steal!

OSU has missed a ton of bunnies. That's as much fatigue as our D.

Could be a 20-pt lead here in 10 sec.

 

[altgeld88]

Is 27-10 taking advantage?

In the most glorious way.

Everyone on the squad is in the best form they've been all season. Every one is doing what they do, but the best they've ever done it.

What we have right now is rare, y'all. Not just the horses, but the horsepower being optimized by leadership, experience, cohesion, and confidence.

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

CBS making all kinds of excuses for OSU. No credit to the Illini D

 

[altgeld88]

Embarrass them. Just as the boys humiliated Michigan.

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.
