Illinois 87, Ohio State 75 Postgame
B1G road wins are GOLD.
And not having a PG.I remember when we were going to be dead in the water because of our ft shooting.

We're going to have to really take it up a notch if we're going to win the big ones on the road. We've beaten 12, 13 and 14 on the road and are 0-2 vs 2 and 4.
Brad didn't have much choice. He picked up his 3rd and 4th fouls there. Key was definitely baiting him. I think the refs had made up their mind to T him up before the game and were just looking for an excuse. Yapping is part of his game and gets him fired up. He can be the best player on the court when he's focused. He can do things very few guys his size can do. He's got to find a balance with the talking.
We won relatively stress free, but I still felt like this should have been a blowout. There is certainly another gear in there defensively, offensively we were superb throughout. I felt the refs gave OSU the benefit of the doubt on anything close. It seemed like Bardo agreed. (Though he's probably about as objective as I am...)
Or “ would this have been better if Shannon had not come back?”

Agree that it should have been a blowout throughout. Seemed like we didn't buckle down until we got into the second half a bit. And we let them shoot 50% consistently, which is not comforting.
In fact, They have a bad angle on a lot of things. Like the misuse of the word, 'THE'.
I don't think he is able to turn off his emotions. What I think he needs to do is get 15 feet away from the ref and turn his back. Then he can jump, scowl, wave his arms, etc. That can be taken as frustration with himself rather than with the ref unless his reputation will still have the ref taking it as against the call.
It was a good win and the offense was humming, but "final four team" is a bit of a overreaction. More like a 2nd round tournament win haha. Defense wasn't all that good. Offense was great albeit against a team that is sub-100 defensively efficiency. To be a final 4 win, I gotta see our defense get more stops against a really good offense (Wisco, Purdue, at MSU) while performing at the offensive end
I have always given him credit.
Here's what I see going on here. Podziemski and Domask both come from the State of Wisconsin.
Podziemski came to the Illini and for whatever reason just didn't work out.
Domask came to the Illini and for whatever reason has worked out great.
In short... Domask is Podziemski on the Illini but a version of Podz that worked out well for Our Beloved. (Not talking about every aspect of his game, just the big picture). So Domask is the fullfillment of Podz of what Podz might have been on the Illini.
Keep the Wisconsin pipeline going like that.
And several posters have commented about Ty. When I see Ty... I see a bit of Trent there. Again, not in all aspects of their game but just from a big picture view.

Haha, I missed this post but I love all of it. And I was shocked to see that we actually won the first half (41-34) by more than we won the second half (46-41). I guess the reason might be that our best stretch was closing out the first half and before garbage time.I like.
Besides TSJ’s complete offensive abuse of Buckeye defenders in 2H my favorites:
1. Dain’s supple, buttery, one-handed follow. That was Baryshikov-esque.
2. Seeing Quincy drive from the top of the key to the hole in like three steps. Only I then realized it wasn’t Quincy. lol. It was Amani.
3. Ty. All evening.
4. CoHawk’s tech. Love the guy but it’s about da$n time. Glad he finally paid for his histrionics. I wonder if Brad paid the officials for that. You know, Kevin Costner stylz in Bull Durham taking Tim Robbins down a peg or two. Hope CoHawk learns his lesson so that incontinence doesn’t bite us in March.
5. Harmon = dawg
Not pleased we let them shoot 50%, but fairly solid 2H from us. Gotta tighten the D. Glad we have only one game the next 11 days.
That angle used to be the standard angle on televised basketball games, with Indiana being the outlier at the time.

Sorry for omitting the obligatory "I'll see myself out now".iswydt!
Ty may never develop Steph Curry's jumpshot but he can look at couple examples on the current team to maximize his abilities. Ty has already become a good free throw shooter which is a good indicator of potential on jump shots.
1. Marcus - bootie ball post game where he is almost automatic from within 8 foot from basket
2. TSJ - 3 pointers and mid range game. If teams are going to play drop coverage on Ty and give him wide open 3 pointers and free throw line jumpers I am sure he can learn to hit them.

Anyone else notice that the standings currently look like an upside down mirror of football standings (if/when WI loses and Rutgers wins a couple a couple)? Interesting?
