Now this is true.

Branham and Russell gonna both have to get 30 tonight. Zero chance we win without Liddell. And since they saying he probably won’t play those 2 guys are gonna have to go OFF

Tonight could be a lost cause before it begins. It was already going to be an uphill battle. If resting EJ helps going forward then just do it.

Ugh may be unwatchable,,unless Illinois lays down.

 

[CMic]

Not enough rest at the end of the year.
May want to Popovich this bad-boy.
Sotos needs some PT.

 

[Don Muenz]

Honest question: Have we played five games at full strength this year?

 

[Bestbuck36]

Ahrens well need to get his game back and hit about 7 threes to keep us in this game. Kofi is going to be a bitch regardless so might as well zone the whole game and bombs away on offense

ESPN gives Ohio State 27% chance. I give Ohio State 10% chance. I don't see a path to a win tonight on the road.

Zed and Kyle could get Kofi into foul trouble tonight if they work smartly. Offensively we just have to be hot shooting and it's been a while since we came out burning.

If the second half tonight is like the last two games we'll get blown out. Bucks were fortunate to escape the Indiana collapse, but that won't cut it at Illinois.

We have to run and run and run. If we get stuck in a half court game tonight, we're screwed.

"Missing star" game in the betting world.

Team who's already an underdog missing it's key guy or guys. No one gives them any chance at all. Lines get inflated all to fuck and next thing you know they cover or win outright.

I've seen it happen more times than I can remember. The real odds are almost always better than the implied odds you get for a game like this.
