Game Thread: Illinois vs Ohio State

I want Coleman to play like this every game!!!

 

[New Creation]

This might be our offensive line up.

Epps
TSJ
RJ
ROGERS
HAWKINS


Sounds crazy, but the ball movement is really good with this line up. Chemistry and knowing rolls on both sides

BS moving screen there. Great job BIG refs

I repeat. This line up is our dangerous one.

I like Hummel's commentary

He’s knowledgeable, objective, personable, and non-d-baggy…just the way they should be.

What is the crowd chanting?

 

[jumpingjack]

The degree of difficulty on that layup and 1 by TJ was insanely high.

 

[NorthShoreIllini]

20% from 3 and basically dominating the game. Don’t see that very often!

 

[SkyysNotFalling]

Ty Rodgers arrival game.

Nebraska

Game on ESPN down here in Georgia. Enjoying a little Illini basketball.
Very little energy from the crowd. Is this typical?

Or just hard to hear over TV.

Love Hummel's call on the Epps inbounds playView attachment 23089

I really like Hummel's commentary. I'm a huge Bardo fan, but recently his commentary has gotten tiresome.

What is the crowd chanting?

Waiting for zed key to sit down after fouling out

What is the crowd chanting?

standing, standing. key fouled out so they chant it until he sits down, which he wasn't doing

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Haha... A moving screen called. I forgot that's still a rule based on how the refs haven't called that this year

Just a few plays ago, an Ohio St. player was literally chasing the Illini defender with a screen. It didn't result in anything, but if that isn't a textbook moving screen then I don't know what is.

Waiting for zed key to sit down after fouling out

Got it. Thanks.

For once it's great to say we are way out playing our opponent. Go Illini!

 

[azillini1]

Winning the boards 40 to 25!

I love when either Hummel or Weber are calling our games. Both are extremely knowledgeable, entertaining, and show a lot of love to the Illini.

 

[hoopsfan47]

Sensenbaugh 4-11 from the field with one board. I would say that thwarting him going off for 20 and 10 was critical to Illini win tonight...along with Illini keeping DD, Harris and Rogers off the FT line. Hawk has played well but still not at all aggressive on offense. He could easily go for 30 with no threes.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Ty Rodgers arrival game.

I'm not sure how the boxscore only has him at 7 rebounds. Seems like it's more around 17. He's been a menace out there

 

[WyattEarp]

Winning the boards 40 to 25!

That needs to be all the time…like four weeks ago.

 

[hoopsfan47]

I want to see Epps in post game interview asked if that was a pass to Hawk.

 

[azillini1]

The only real bad stat for us tonight is 5 for 27 from 3. If we had hit another 3 or so, this would be a huge blowout
