Illinois coach looks like a drunken British stepfather.

Finish strong here

Our guys go flying from contact every freaking game and few get called. Shocked they actually called that goal tend.

Kick Plummer in the nuts and we'll be fine.

Thank you, ref, for the stopping the game because of the leg injury and not the foul for hitting EJ’s leg.

Yeah he slapped his leg that was like whut? I thought he was really hurt and first then I saw the replay and they announcers couldn't see the slap?

 

[brodybuck21]

Illinois = bunch of hacks

 

[dragurd]

Wtf was the bounce on the ft

 

[Bestbuck36]

Feels like Illinois best shot this first half and the boys weatered the storm. Get some shots to fall and pressure them second half.

How Brad Underwood has managed to fuck up all this talent should have Illini fans hot.

After how this started, I'll take being down 1 at the half. Nice response by the Bucks.

First time watching Illinois. My first thought watching Cock Burn was "holy shit....it's fucking Patrick Ewing." The guy just is on another level physically from anyone else on the court while still being really athletic. That guy fucks.

So it's not just me. His team looks less than the sum of its parts. They've got everything.

They have only 2 guys with more than 2 pts if it wasn't for dude shooting of his mind 6/7 3's Ohio State would be up double digits.

Amen, that could have been way worse. Great adjustments on defense, they just have a dude that is shooting into the ocean from 3 or else we're up. Doing a good job on Cockburn, need to keep that up and we could pull this one off.

 

[BB73]

How can they not know there should have been 4.5 seconds left for tOSU’s last possession of the half?

Illinois got the ball after a stopped clock with 34.5, and had a shot clock violation. The math is simple, folks, and Holtmann should have pointed it out.

 

[ORD_Buckeye]

Can't allow Cock Burn to go off and need to bring them back to earth with the 3's. Doing both is going to be the challenge. Liddell is clearly struggling with fatigue and cramps from the flu, but he needs to play a full game and get his points in the second half. All three happen, and we win.
