Game Thread: Illinois vs Ohio State

[Chillinini]

"Top blocking".....thought Hummel said something else.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Missing too many bunnies

 

[FreshlySqueezed]

2 on Battle.

 

[Jon]

Putting a ton of pressure on the rim, but wouldn't mind the ball going in a little bit more

 

[PopChampaign]

Up 8 at half.

 

[One Man Fast Break]

Good point by Hummel that Coleman has stopped shooting threes lately for some reason.

Other than the missed layups, Ty having a PHENOMENAL first half

 

[PopChampaign]

2000… BOOK IT

TSJ has great timing

 

[redwingillini11]

Nobody pushes the ball coast to coast like TSJ. He is un-real. Very Dee-like, no?

 

[roger murdock]

He is special !

I can see why after that last one unfortunately...

 

[Bleedorangeandblue44]

I love this defense -- if we can keep this up the next few weeks....

 

[Coop70]

CH not feeling it yet.

 

[hoopsfan47]

Getting out rebounded...not Ty's fault.

 

[grantlab]

Another positive defensive showing so far… OSU with just 1 field goal in the last 6 minutes is pretty ideal.

Tyler holding daddy Brad back lol

 

[jumpingjack]

I feel like we're steadily taking this one over. Keep getting shots at the rim, we're good.

 

[abchew2]

Two players on the same team hitting 2000 career pts in the same year. Very impressive!

 

[PopChampaign]

They're a bubble team playing for their lives and with a lot of confidence since the coaching change. Would be a mistake to think this game was gonna be easy.

My point exactly. It’s March. Now is not the time for that mentality. Who cares what they’re going through. We’re better. Prove it. I don’t care how desperate they are. Their best effort should fall short.

Agreed. Would love to see Dain continue to get a ton of minutes, especially in this game. He's locking his dude down and grabbing boards

yeah, me too LOL

 

[BRucks]

We are better when Dain is in the game

 

[PopChampaign]

TSJ has great timing

Elite

Senior Ty Rodgers is going to be a problem for the B1G.
