Watch last couple of interviews he's given- he says his knee is bothering him.
Game Thread: Illinois vs Ohio State
- Status
Can someone tell me why we have to listen to ElFonzo as an analyst - can't the B1G channel find someone with a connection to the B1G.
NEED need Marcus this half. It really hurts having a 60% Coleman cuz that has really allowed OSU to collapse the paint.
Please run a set play for Harmon. Back cut, something to get him a layup to see ball go through the hoop. He needs it. Cohawk looks to me like he's limping at all times, last thing we need. Happy for Goode making 2 shots. Ty grabbing rebounds from 10 ft. away with his wing span and get up! Dainja making things happen, he has Earned it.
If this is how we play a 1 and done game ouch.

If he could make 5 to 7 foot jumpers and layups....it would have been a Domask first half. Put Rodgers in that bucket too. Hawkins is at a whole different level of disappearance.
Weber talking out his butt. Ohio State's defense has nothing to do with stopping us from making free throws. Ohio State been getting away with numerous fouls at the rim. Refs from this conference just cannot, for some reason, call a consistent game for both teams. Just a disgrace!
I was about to post the same thing. We're playing really tight out there right now. This has been a recurring theme during tournament time in the Brad tenure. He might need to give everyone a shot of Jager before they run out for warmups
Knee all season

TSJ playing great...........
Dain playing great........
Ty " Skywalker " Rodgers playing great.......
The rest of the Illini , not so much............Doc Domask needs a shot to go down to relax him......
Cohawk needs to dunk the damn ball when driving to the rim...............
Harmon is lost in space right now..............
Goode with a much needed 3............................
QG hqaving another disappearing act on the court tonight.......
The refs are calling fouls on osu....we need to make them pay for that and take it on offense to Battle , Thorton and Gayle......osu has won 8 out of their last 9 games so they are riding a wave , but we are better than they are so lets show it and get the 10-15 point win......

Getting a quick 3rd foul wouldn’t hurt either
They hired anyone that worked for ESPN. So he gets a free job.
Absolutely. If OSU is to win, it will be due to not stopping Battle, Thornton, and Okpara in that order. Bucks have a pretty darned good and experienced team.
On the other hand, Illini need to stop shooting air balls...including from the FT line. With Hawk and MD throwing up nothing, let's just hope we can pull something out of our butts.
But I do like the effort on defense.
5.5 isn’t a BIG favorite
Looks like they're fouling off the ball a lot too, with almost none being called. "Great defense".
This is a game we should be up double digits in, but apparently only TJ got the memo that the game started.
Hawkins and Domask can feel free to lend a hand at any time.

Well he's not wrongLip reader:
BU to CoHawk as they left the floor: "Get your f@#king mind right!!"
Honestly, OSU isn't doing all that much different than what MSU did to Purdue. Best way to beat a better team is to slow down the tempo, be physical, and hope the refs won't foul out your team. I think OSU is doing all they can on defense. We need to keep going at them early and often this half, and see how many of them are still eligible to play by the 10min mark
Yep he almost never has two bad halves in a row
He's atrocious. I'm not a huge fan of Raph but at least he seems to watch the games.
No, the refs have nothing to do with this. They almost fouled OSU out in the first half.
Make layups, make free throws and we're up 10+.
Our guys need to wake up.
TSJ has been great, Ty has been too. Its time for Domask n Hawk to do what they are capable are able of. Loved seeing Luke knock down a 3 ! Its time for being old to kick in. TSJ is showing he is tourney ready and its time for our other leaders to step up. Dain has been great.
Respectfully disagree
Not a great start.
