Week of 1/19 Games Thread

OSU playing Michigan tough so far...20-14 buckeyes midway through the first half
Expect Michigan to wake up but one can dream

 

[BillyBob1]

Did they not call a T on Mara? Blocks his shot and starts yelling at the guy. Z has been called for that a couple times.

 

[IlliniTarHeel]

Michigan sure does foul a lot and rarely gets called

 

[ejam21]

I feel like OSU played very well until the last like 90 seconds SMH

the start of the run, morez completely hip checked somoeon on a board and it led to them getting a runout

 

[illinifan1987]

All of the regulars are fully aware of this...
Otherwise,

 

[ejam21]

michigan is getting some homer calls for sure

 

[DeeIL89]

8-0 run by Ohio State. Buckeyes leading 40-34.

I'm hoping that, in the end, it doesn't matter. I'll go with 71-65 OSU

 

[ejam21]

Jeez Bruce Thornton can you make a shot ? Seems like he's missing everything.
Pretend you're playing us please

 

[jamarvelous31]

So did Morez really just leave or did he give IL a chance to bid?

It sucks so bad watching him develop elsewhere

 

[DeeIL89]

Ohio State had a two on one advantage against Morez in the paint and couldn't get a bucket on that last possession. Lol.

 

[ejam21]

OSU plays some dumb ball on offense at times but they are fighting

 

[NarrowJ]

FTs: Michigan 18, Ohio State 2

they did not but they were sure to call the tech on Royal for touching the made basket

 

[UCantHideYer]

It’s hard to watch Morez thrive. Always appreciated his motor.

this game is super winnable and its been a bruce thornton no show. Kind of frustrating

went from hitting step backs over all comers against us to bricking open ones. This might be the worst I've ever seen him play (granted that's only 10ish times)

 

[illiniguy24]

Definitely sucks to see him in maize and blue, thought he would be a lifer for us.

But, F him, he scorned us and I hope we throttle them again

 

[ejam21]

gotta make fts, missed 1 in 1 down 4 is killer

Well....it was winnable.

 

[NarrowJ]

Ohio State probably will not win this game, but my takeaway is Michigan has come back down to Earth. Both teams have struggled in this one, Ohio State fell off the map entirely here the last 4-6 mins or so.

totally. I been enjoying ripping my Michigan friend who keeps saying they are historically good. I'm like peaking in November is great but if you think what they have been playing lately is historically good then I want to know your definition of history is.

 

[PasadenaIllini]

I feel very differently. Michigan muscled their way through an off shooting night against a Quad 1 opponent who were very up for a game against one of the best teams in the country. Michigan are still rightly one of the top contenders for our conference championship.

 

[EmeraldCityIllini]

Nebraska at Michigan Tuesday is intriguing
