Ohio State 68, Illinois 63 (OT) POSTGAME

We're shooting .719 from the line. That is top 90 in the country, no where near the bottom. It is better than Indiana or Kansas.

FT shooting was an issue last night, it has not been a season long issue.

Thanks for clarifying - wish it could have been better last night.

247 has him rated at 116....he grew up in Cedar rapids

Yep. Went to Jefferson HS. Nicest kid you could ever meet. Known Jarrod since he was a freshman in HS. I hate Iowa with a passion but it has been nice watching him develop into a national star.

Ryan was a scheisskopf with his transfer; really jerked him around.

I was actually surprised he commited to Wisconsin in the first place. I know he actually liked Illinois but apparently Bruce never seriously recruited him. I know we offered but who knows. He is such a good kid though. I felt awful for him last night when the Maryland student section chanted "You are ugly" while he was shooting free throws. Mostly because, believe it or not, that kinda stuff actually gets to him. They should have saved that for Woodbury. :thumb:

For all the complaining there was about Egwu the last few seasons he was the anchor of the defense. Now we have nada, in the middle, which affects the entire team.

Our three most aggressive defensive players are on the bench. TA, MT and LB. Granted the last two are not lock down defenders - but they set the tone. MT was the loudest player on the court during his brief re-entry. This team lacks passion on D and in general without those guys. MH is not a leader, I thought KN had the fire when he got into a few scraps (PSU) - but that hasn't lasted. When is the last time you saw a hard (get that sh*t out of here) foul or block?

I live in Maryland, and got my second degree from UMD. I can tell you from personal experience, they are the Philadelphia Eagles fans of college hoops. They may do some clever stuff, but they are mean-spirited and ugly fans.
