Game Thread: Illinois at Ohio State

[BBlock24]

Cool. Another one of these games.

 

[Goillinikobd]

Here we go again. These guys have LOST 14 of last 15
i know, I know, we will be down by 20 at half and win by 5 and I will get crap for complaining during the first half and not having faith that we will pul it out at the end.

 

[New Creation]

Time out needed. We need to spread the floor and take DD out. We are just better and not so slow on both O and D when DD is not in there. Love the kid, but he is a liability

 

[Miles Leonard]

As only we know how, we're off to another slow start. Jeez.

 

[808Illini]

We’re getting nothing from either Epps or Dain so far.

 

[CV Illini]

Same ol same ol

 

[sacraig]

I will say, there’s something about playing on CBS. So nostalgic.

Agreed. Though now we need to start actually playing.

 

[CleverHandle1]

Get in position to get off a good shot, quit throwing junk up there. Jeez.

 

[Jimbo]

Hot take! We’re not a great shooting team!

 

[IlliniKat91]

Is it just me, or does Dain look tentative going to the rim? Go hard under the basket. You're more likely to get the foul than be called for it there.

We lose most our CBS games so I guess that’s some form of nostalgia

 

[Chillinini]

Offense is so frenetic. They act like they are in a hurry. Just no patience, no preparation or organization. Very hurried.

 

[Coop70]

Honestly, is it players mentally unprepared or coach's not preparing them?

 

[Scoregasm]

We look disinterested....ho hum.

 

[Flyin' Illini]

They look like the better team right now, and it isn't really close. We have NOTHING going on the offensive end.

 

[WizardBill]

That was all ball, and I bet CBS won't show it again.

That Meyer foul on the three? A rewind it and re-watch it. He didn’t touch anything but the ball.

 

[thehass]

Digging holes to start games is not a good thing.

 

[Coop70]

Why do I say such stupid things?

 

[dwpittman]

Foot in the protected zone too. The quality of referees is just embarrassing.

And crumpling to the floor before contact.

 

[grantlab]

Not too concerned because we seem to be winning every battle except shot-making but also… make a shot guys!!!

 

[sacraig]

Hot take! We’re not a great shooting team!

We are just streaky enough that it motivates everyone to keep taking those threes, but not nearly consistent enough that it works to our favor.

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

It appears this team will never get in a groove from game to game, lol. We’re just going to hope we can scrap by our First Round opponent and pray we get the UCLA-Texas squad in the Second Round to squeak into the Sweet Sixteen.

 

[WizardBill]

Got him on the head with his forearm, which the ref pointed to, and they did show it again.

You must be watching a different TV program than I am. Mine did not show replay. I had to rewinder my cell phone commercial break. He touched nothing.

 

[WeWillWhen]

This is just a poor shooting team. Sigh.

I just don’t see it. They’re gonna fall behind a good team and not be able to storm back.
