Game Thread: Illinois vs Ohio State

[New Creation]

they are running the same play over and over and over and its working

 

[SuperMetroid]

They run the same double moving screen play EVERY TIME

Curbelo can't handle their point

Kofi has to help there. If he passes back out to Liddell so be it. Can't let them get easy buckets like that.

 

[DICKnaggie]

Real question, but can someone explain what if any adjustments BU has made? Defensively we have to change done assignments or schemes bc they have our number the way we are playing them now.

 

[Chitownkid]

We are afraid to guard now. Everything is a call.

 

[Epsilon]

Man, with how good the B1G is playing right now, our record is all the more impressive.

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

Lets see what we're made of ... us v them (OSU) and them (refs)

I think the Big 10 wants OSU to win this game

 

[illinipimp]

Officials seem determined to get Ohio a win

 

[Illini_Jack]

Where is our defense? OSU is getting inside whenever they like.

 

[New Creation]

AYo is off because he is getting helped and smacked and getting no calls..

 

[altenberger22]

Looking like a toss-up game. Pretty evenly matched. Two exceptional coaches.

 

[Lexis20]

Curbelo not playing particularly well on either end

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

We act like the tired team. We need to pick it back up. Washington/Walker are killing us.

 

[DICKnaggie]

Ayo needs a time out. He should have passed it to Kofi.

I agree. And when he is in, we stop moving and defer way too much.

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

Is the officiating as bad watching on TV as it is in the stadium? The guys definitely have Kevin Warren's back after being called out publicly it appears by Illini Nation.

The air is gone from the complex

Kofi needs to move a little quicker and help, but I am sure he is tired... he needs to dig deep because we need to get him the ball on offense, too

100 percent they do. It’s a huge blackeye what we did after they gave Michigan the title.

 

[CurbeloYourEnthusiasm]

Brad should have called a timeout way before that TV timeout and regroup the guys before the lead got whittled to 2

 

[WeWillWhen]

Props to tOSU for not folding when they got down 10. Now it’s time for the Illini to man up.

 

[azillini1]

Maybe Miller can come in a hit a few shots. He has been on the bench a while.

 

[Illini1974Ever]

Championship caliber game here kinda surprised with Ayo wonder if his nose is bothering him after he took that shot in first half ?
Any hoot LETS GO ILLINI!!

 

[Ken]

Kofi seems way out of sorts Liddell has been off this game no reason he shouldn't be helping hard and forcing those guards to give up the ball

 

[Chitownkid]

We stopped doing that. And the lead stopped growing. They don’t have anyone for him.
