Game Thread: Illinois vs Ohio State

[SuperMetroid]

Pretty much what I expected and feared in terms of a close game. Didn’t expect we’d look so wobbly though

 

[Illiniguy13]

For !!!! sakes get some stops down the stretch!

 

[Chillinini]

We are to be lucky that we are experiencing and being part of the Dainja Zone tonight.

 

[zentrails]

Dain game!

One more FT would be BIG

 

[walzon]

regardless of winning or losing, we found something with Dainja and hope we use it during the big dance

 

[fatboyslim]

Just get a stop and get the lead.

 

[Manual3for4peat]

we get a stop I feel like we win this. That said we are struggling to get stops.

Well I am proud to say in spite of having 3 of better players playing a terrible game we are still fight hard win or lose I cannot fault their effort.

Dainja zone

 

[HailtotheChief]

Danja Zone!

 

[jumpingjack]

Yep, we got settled into playing OSUs tempo, now it comes down to selling out for every board, every box out, every close out. We're better, finish this.

 

[SescIllini]

Dainja Zone!

 

[Mr. Roberts]

10 missed FT are the difference.

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

Illini gonna have a big size advantage in the rest of this one.

Build the dainja statue

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

10 missed FT are the difference.

Usually are...

 

[FloridaMan]

10 missed FT are the difference.

And a couple missed layups

 

[SuperMetroid]

Dain fouling out everyone

 

[Battle89]

I dare anyone to explain how leaving Dain on the bench for the first 9 minutes of the second half wasn't coaching malpractice. He has been a monster.

My wife went and got dinner during halftime. Missed the OSU hot start after. Got home and I told her and said ‘still only 3 guys playing’. She asks who. I say Ty TSJ and Dain. She looks at the TV and says where’s Dain? Not playing, I reply.

 

[hiberto]

why is that a tie up now????

 

[madillini4]

That’s horse !!!!

 

[BBlock24]

Just an unreal jump ball call there. Of course it lead to a 3.

 

[Champaign88]

Refs gonna ref. Brutal call.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

big ten refs suck.
