It'll never happen but I really wish they would change up the TV timeout so that it flexes based on timeouts taken by the coaches in game.

I think one of our biggest problems is actually how many guys have proven can get a bucket or make a play. TJ has proven it. Coleman has proven it. Jayden has proven it. Dain has proven it. Matt..even RJ to an extent…

Figuring out where to go to get out of the funk is what needs to be understood and problem is it can differ from night to night more than a lot of teams…

Yep figuring it out obviously is the key. Once that happens you'll see more games like we had against UCLA, Texas, MSU and not like Mizzou, IU, PSU. We all want to see that happen as the season progresses and really want to see it in March.

Did get in the shooters head. Thinking about McNuggets rather than shooting the ball.

One of the most remarkable things about how we've played this game is if OSU actually shot the ball at the percentage likelihood of them making any fo their given shots, they'd probably not even have 20pts right now. They are making some incredibly difficult shots and getting absolutely nothing easy. Our defense has been that good today. If we can just figure out how to bring this intensity game in and game out, there are only a few teams out there who will be able to keep up with us possession for possession

lol Ty can't make the simple layups, but makes the spin move. He's wild.

Edit: And then that move from Hawk. Yeesh. When it's working, it's working.

 

[FloridaMan]

Oh. My. God. CH with a drive to the hoop????? Noice.

 

[PizzaHutParkingLot]

Coleman with the sweet double pump fake

 

[aaeismacgychel]

COHAWK WITH @ SUCCESSFUL BALL FAKES!

 

[New Creation]

That was 3 straight good offense moves by both teams.

Team still needs to learn how to . . .

 

[Manual3for4peat]

Good lord. Every whistle has been a timeout

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

Bench seems light, who's not down there?

I think Shannon by all accounts is a real good guy and very likable human being.

BUT Too much much with extra relish
sometimes IMO…Coleman too.
Sometimes ya gotta just make the old man play.

And the announcerrs keep taking 2 points away from us

 

[IlliniForceOne]

I can’t be the only one worried that our inability to close these guys out could haunt us.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Very smart offensive possesions these last 2 times down.

 

[Flyin' Illini]

All these bounces that Ohio St. Is getting are getting annoying.

 

[Manual3for4peat]

That’s about the fourth shot that had no business going in that they have made.

 

[InDaAZ]

What time is it?
