transition scoring has certainly switched ends.

Rainbow from Buford!

2nd on McCamey. :)

Indeed McCamey is dangerous in space. Lighty really needs a pull up jumper though. He's driven it into 4 or 5 defenders a few times this game.

Must matchup on the shooters quicker. Those looks are too easy.

 

[Jake]

Illini look like a bubble team fighting for an NCAA bid, playing well.

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Sheesh. Too many turnovers and that fast break was....um....not great.

 

[Mike80]

they just have to settle down.

Illinois has been getting most of the bounces so far. Settle down and take the ball to the hole strong and we're good.

 

[dragurd]

Illinios gettign away with a lot of slapping at the ball on the drives but then we got away with a huge hack on that 3

 

[Buck Kid 66]

I know that was going in even before he shoot it.

 

[BuckeyeTillIDie]

Illinois played as good as they possibly can; tOSU played about as bad as possible. I'm not too worried.

However, ET needs to get his head in the game and remember how to dribble.

 

[Bill Lucas]

I'm going to call that a C- half and they're only down 6. A solid B+ game the second half should get things done.

ET is having problems holding onto the ball today. He's fumbled it away a couple of times and been stripped several times while driving.

Big time shot there. Illinois 6-13 from 3 in the first half. Gotta stay on the shooters better.

Last game, Illinois made 5 of the first 6 3's, but just 2 of the next 12. I wouldn't mind seeing another cold streak like that.

 

[OH10]

That's Illinois' best shot. We took it with Diebs on the bench. Down 6 and time to lock it down. I have no doubt right now we'll come out on top.

 

[Bill Lucas]

If the game today is like yesterday they'll start calling those slaps at the ball on drives in the second half. They let everything go in the first half yesterday and called everything in the second.

I hate Illinois, I'd love nothing more than to just blow them out second half.
