Illinois 69, Ohio State 60 Postgame
The Galloping Ghost
- Washington, DC
Looks like Dr. Jekyll showed up today. When we are rolling, it's just so fun. I just wish we could play like that consistently. Coleman and Ty made some absolutely beautiful plays in the second half.
This painting by Edmund von Donntrust-deezhoze depicts the 21st century Ohio State student. In the piece, Donntrust-deezhoze portrays the awkwardness and existential confusion that results from attending OSU. The rock represents life itself, and here we see the Buckeye posing questions of life. Questions such as “is this degree going to be worth anything?”, "why are numbers so mean to me?", “I wonder what this thing tastes like?”.

Did what we were supposed to do. Full stop.
Great defense from the jump to set that “y’all ain’t get s—- easy in our house” tone to start the game.
Really gotta appreciate the ball movement, screening, and creating shots for one another in the second half - hopefully we never forget to be this team again.

That might be the most one-sided single digit win I've ever seen.
Annoyed that didn’t end up being a double digit win 
but whatever.
but whatever.
Holding out a fool’s hope that we’ll be there by March.

That's what fresh legs look like. And OSU was obviously not fresh.
On to MadTown.

We were clearly the better team. If you had told me we turn the ball over 12 times and shoot 18% from 3 I’d have thought we were in trouble. Instead with great defense and rebounding we nearly ran them out of the gym. The final score won’t be as impressive as the win really was.
Edit: and great free throw shooting!!!

44-30 rebounding edge is going to help get it done every time.
Solid win, keep bringing this defense and rebounding and we will go far (and ft shooting).
We played like a top 10 team at times, and yet played like a bottom of the league team for stretches. Happy with a win, but man are we inconsistent. It's almost like the guys rest on offense but play tough D most possessions. Hope we are able to find it on both ends in the next 6 weeks.
Now go get a road win in Wisconsin on Royal Rumble Saturday and we're back on track again.
Outstanding defensive intensity tonight. Hawkins best all-around game.
Good combo for the win.

Should be some great highlights from this one.
Mayer Hawkins TSJ and Epps awesome games. We limited their 2 best players with our D. FTs % depends on who is at the line
Solid win against a good opponent who struggled lately

Great bounce back game.
Statistically we were ok....we dominated boards and played strong D. Rather not see 5/28 3ps... But loved Shannon 9/9 Fts.
