Game Thread: Illinois vs Ohio State

[Jon]

TSJ gonna drag 4 corpses to the W if he has too

Dain is fighting his absolute butt off, but I can’t help but wonder if his presence is limiting our offensive ability to get into the lane and looks at the basket… we were living at the paint in the first 4 minutes and now have taken more long 2’s than I’ve seen us take all season.

 

[BRucks]

turning it over, flopping and giving up a free two is not a good look for Hawkins

Yet a frequent one.

 

[One Man Fast Break]

I don't love the pull back one-handed slam when you're on the receiving end of a 9-0 run, but glad he made it.

 

[nyc_illini]

I have more confidence in DD making free throws than in QG

 

[Bigtex]

how long has it been since osu scored

This aged poorly

 

[hoopsfan47]

Very high level of play on both ends by both teams. OSU could be forced to pay late for a bunch of unnecessary fouls.

 

[BWBW]

Two good defenses making things ugly.

 

[McGuppin]

TSJ, Ty and Dain came to play. Everyone else, not so much.

 

[Bleedorangeandblue44]

Remember when we scored 105 points and everyone was mad about giving up 97?

Crazy that's the same team we're watching tonight.

We've got 3-4 guys who really need to see the ball go through the basket again. Their confidence looks shaken

 

[UDillini]

Tsj doing brads job there with the reset if we won’t call a timeout after that sequence idk.. team has taken 7 awful/forced bricks in a row, missed every free throw is totally disjointed and luckily tsj bails us out with the momentum change..

 

[Whitmans Sampler]

When is the last time Harmon hit rim? Was it the floater attempt @ PSU at the buzzer?

 

[Illini60613]

They only have 5 guys right now...two dudes with 3 fouls and Battle with 2...we should be taking it right to them and playing fast...Sigh

 

[ginabackes00]

Is Hawkins fighting an injury? It looks like he is.

 

[GetAWin]

Is Hawkins fighting an injury? It looks like he is.

Yes, knee

 

[Chillinini]

MD can't hit the side of a barn

 

[Illini60613]

Is Hawkins fighting an injury? It looks like he is.

Yeah, it looks like a hip or groin to me...

 

[hhoene]

Goode!!

 

[punchabove33]

Thank god for Luke!

 

[redwingillini11]

You've got to be kidding me with the missed layup

 

[LoveLovie]

Domask is not mentally in the game

 

[PattyOBryant]

Luke Goode came to Minneapolis to do two things: drink some beer and make some threes. Looks like he's almost out of beer

 

[Illini60613]

Domask can't buy one...

 

[Champaign88]

Someone get MD a doctor at half.

 

[hoopsfan47]

MD zero for six from the field explains a lot.
