Game Thread: Illinois vs Ohio

[LouRocks]

DW is playing well n hard but asking a lot of him to guard the bigger 4s without Kofi behind him helping out. This is a big issue for us that is being exposed.

Don't see an Illini win today.

 

[CogDog]

Good grief.

 

[BDMAN]

Looks like another upset today we just did not match their energy and we missed too many freethrows but we will get better

 

[JJE]

No urgency.

Its lack of adjustment by Underwood

Great move by Miller going to the hoop.

Legs looked dead on so many possessions. Ohio has out hustled Illinois on most 50-50 balls.

Finally a Ohio TO

 

[altenberger22]

I---O----!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[LostinNebraska]

And no more one hand rebounding, that !!!! is ridiculous.

 

[Highlander]

Damonte with Double Double!

This defense is a huge problem

I don't need this this early in the season.

 

[SuperMetroid]

DMW!

 

[altenberger22]

Ohio really deserves the W. What a game they've played. (Just hoping they don't get it.)

 

[hoopsfan47]

DFW deserved that for all the work he has done in this game.

DW - smooooooooth as silk.

 

[JSpence]

Ohio hasn't missed a FG in over four minutes, they are having a game. Great test, might fail. Go Illini!

I’m buying a Damonte Williams jersey.

 

[altenberger22]

We're getting the ball back.

I’m buying a Damonte Williams jersey.

I'm just gonna change the number on my Frankie Williams jersey.

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

Monte is the player of the game here for us but we need a huge stop and FTs

 

[altenberger22]

John Groce built both these programs. He should feel proud!!
