Game Thread: Illinois vs Ohio State

[Bear8287]

Abrams is the key to this team. He plays well the team plays well.

Yes, this seems to be true. If the Illini get to the tourney, it will likely be because a Weber holdover gets them there.

Indiana loses, Purdue loses. This is *not* a strong year for the B1G...

 

[Bear8287]

Hmmm... Nebraska beats Maryland at Maryland. Think Watson will eat up the Illini too?

Too bad Groce can't find any B1G guards in the state of Illinois *cough*.

I attended the Maryland game. I do not recognize any of our players on the court tonight from that game. How many different teams do we have?

 

[FeelYourPaign]

We've out rebounded them 25-15
Keep that up men

Someone must've spiked our pre-game crab cakes out there.

I think the white shoes make Tracy look a step quicker tonight. He had a really solid first half. He ran the show.

Thorne and Malcolm are the only two who look a little slow so far tonight. Overall, nice 1st half guys!

Malcolm looks slow? What game are you watching?

Why's this good news? What's this mean that Shad is talking to Whitman?

Thats the problem. For as much experience we put on the floor they still have ridiculous swings in their level of play like freshmen.

That may be one of the best moves of the night!:thumb:

Relations hadn't been what they once were so getting back in his good graces is always a smart thing..

I do not understand this. Could you please explain? Thanks much.

Kahn is a wealthy sports interested alum.

3 on Hill

 

[peace davids]

Not insinuating that he is ponying up for a coach. Relax.

Shahid Khan is a billionaire Illini alum (and owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars) who has been outspoken about wanting the Illini to do whatever is necessary to win.

Josh Whitman is the Illini AD who has promised #WeWillWin.

If Whitman has Khan's backing, then money should not be a limiting factor in getting the best talent (coaching or otherwise) to Illinois.

Place is a morgue. Sitting in row 16 of Section 201 and I can clearly hear instructions from both benches.

 

[Ulysses Everett McGill]

Interesting that Groce is leaving Hill in

 

[oldman]

jcl!!!

 

[Cheez]

My honest opinion of this instance between Khan and Whitman is Whitman just cozying up and making sure that Khan is having a good time. No business talk here.

 

[IlliniMed]

Sometimes players just aren't the same after an injury. Big Bo is unfortunately one of those

 

[zoggle101]

Everyone is looking for theirs on the O end. That's not going to work.

 

[TheBucket]

Thorne continues to be a liability on the court. Picks up a loose ball foul on a rebound a few minutes ago, drops a pass for a turnover, completely lost under the bucket on defense just now.

Need Mav on the court as much as he can go the rest of the way.

JW is smart. Probably just trying to mend some fences from the past.

Don't know if I saw it correctly, but it looked like a 2 from Kam Williams and they counted it as a 3. Anyone else see that? Wasn't watching the feet very closely but I thought he was inside the arc.
