meh. 151 KenPom going into the game, 152 immediately following. Our KenPom rating went down as well, even with the win.
As of 9:14 the game hadn't been recorded on Kenpom yet so what you are seeing is the effect of other games around the country.

I really think Leron will be in the NBA someday. Has a great all around game and if he so happens to start hitting his threes watch out. Dude is a ball of energy.
This win honestly feels worse than our loss to West Virginia
Pretty sure the 1-and-1 you're talking about was Tate, not Malcolm. Also, Malcolm averaged 23.3 points over the last week... not sure how you can call that 3rd best player.I honestly thought Malcolm played soft. There were a couple key plays late with the ball in his grasp and he let it get taken. He missed the front end of a key, late 1-and-1... Not the first time. He's a great player, but he's underperformed the BIG POY conversation in my mind. And in the last week, he's been the 3nd best player on his team.

Let's not forget that OSU lost to a terrible team at home tonight

Uh, that would be Malcolm.
Every team is allowed one "WTF was that" win every year. Today was that win. I'll take it over a loss.
Your right ....he might not be the best at any one thing....but could lterally be the
best all around players (offense, defense, rebound, taking care of the ball) ever at ILL.
I suspect we will likely see foul trouble every now and then again for awhile. I also predict he will clip someone with an elbow when trying to protect a rebound

ReWatch this game and compare each team's offensive sets. No comparison and I'm not talking positive about ours. A win is a win but my gosh, what are we doing out there?
Did Leron get the double double?

Get used to it, a lot of the B1G conference games will be like this one and if we win them, it's good.
I couldn't disagree more. We got absolutely embarrassed by West Virginia and this was a hard-fought win against a mediocre team that happened to shoot pretty well against us (yes, partly due to poor defense).
But Hill was magnificent, DJ Williams got some good run, and Black continues to impress.
C'mon man, your not a real fan if a win feels worse than a loss.
