good looking run there.

 

[OSU_Buckguy]

it's an all-dribble offense. no inside presence yet. all points from outside it seems. they're doing a great job manning oden. oden's sole presence is defense... take up some space on offense.

butler's hot! 3rd 3. steal. 27-18. hot.

 

[bkochmc]

Butler with another 3! 3 for the game...

Butler with the steal and hits Conley for a layup

27-18

OK Buckguy, you got the semi-updates.

 

[OSU_Buckguy]

this is GREAT seeing butler making shots. absolutely GREAT. can't downplay that.

 

[OSU_Buckguy]

big ten refs. 29-18. letting play inside. oden's being backed down bigtime.

Agree... Hunter is playing pretty good on both sides of the ball

 

[OSU_Buckguy]

hunter's coming on strong. help defense. inside points. 3 point shot! hunter will make a team pay for focusing on oden.

 

[bkochmc]

Wow, the Bucks are hitting the three's well so far (Lewis makes it 6 for the team in the first half)

 

[OSU_Buckguy]

illinois is being slaughtered. lighty drive. lewis 3. 1 and out on defense.

 

[OSU_Buckguy]

where was the foul? is that 2 now on oden?

 

[OSU_Buckguy]

was that jimotis talking about conley dribbling too much? i can't remember if it was he who was discussing that. it's true. a lot of dribbling. sure, he can dissect a defense, but there is slow rotation going on. we have the athletes and shooters to catch teams on the opposite side.
