A win is a win. Dain Dainja was a menace! Should have won by at least 10 but I’ll take the win on an off night. Way to pull it off gents! Back at it tomorrow!

Ridiculous comment. OSU has been one of the hottest teams in the country the last few weeks. And basically this game was their only chance to make the tournament.

More time to prep than our opponent!
I really hope he stays on.
Seems to me that you missed the point. But maybe my reading comprehension is the problem.
All you can do is laugh at this comments. A ton of top teams lost already - some people don’t understand how March works.
wow they act like they aren't the 2nd best team in the league. I have an issue with this. They looked shocked. 
Only by a couple hours maybe. Would only matter if it were multiple games on the same day.
Streams of consciousness:
* CoHawk must have taken his ADHD meds when on the bench. Definitely turned it around late in the second half with better focus, determination and concentration.
* B1G refs were consistently bad for both clubs. Big no call on Dain for that push late in the game.
* Ty has to be on the floor in high leverage situations, has to.
* First half timeouts are allowed Coach. Don't be shy.
* As a college basketball fan, great game to watch. As an Illini fan, not good for my drinking habits.
* The Dainja Zone was a pleasure to be in tonight.
* If I had to choose, rather go against a Woodson coached team than a Hoiberg coached team with the Japanese (Steph) Curry.

When was this?
They played like the house was on fire. Tournament atmosphere.
Going to go from a dumpster fire to celebrating championships in record time
Nebby. Beating IU would not help our seed, I don't think.
I remember being surprised that Dainja committed to coming back to Illinois. I hope to be surprised again!
It is almost as if he sat for this big moment. We would have lost without him.

After a foul call on Battle toward the end of the game.
That is one important reason but more importantly he was blocking Domask’s way. Brad should just play Dain more when Domask is off.
Yes! The question is if there are 2 more?
It's March, buckle up

A lot of people myself included had OSU finishing in the Top 4-5 in the B10 this year. The way they closed out last year and the young talent they have reminded me of our '99 team. Seemed like a decent bet to leave an expected last place team in Minnesota to an expected upper half team. Didn't work out that way
