Pretty good half by the Bucks... 36-22 at halftime.

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

It's great to see Butler hitting shots. He was off with his shot for a while but now hes finally getting back into it. We need him to be consistent with his shooting for the rest of the season. Not only is his shooting helping the team but it is also helping himself by giving him confidence to shoot more. Thank God we got him back

Anybody else flipping between this and the 2002 Championship game on ESPN Classic? Krenzel just went in for the TD and Kenny Peterson caused the fumble.

Nice to see Lewis gaining confidence back and getting his stroke back, to some degree.

It's a good thing I've got 4 tv's and my laptop in the garage. Really good looking first half by the Bucks. Chemistry is better than I've seen yet this year. Very good thing.

Nice to see the other guys not standing around waiting on Oden and Conley to do something.

i have four as well but can get only one working.

well, we're leading by 14, but there are so many issues. if illinois could shoot, the game would be much, much closer. they're 24% overall and 16% from the 3. defense is better... sure, but they can't hit the broad side of a barn. what i like most so far is that illinois has been 1-and-out for the most part. then again, so have the bucks been 1-and-out with 2 off. rebounds off of 44% shooting. nothing spectacular.

 

[bkochmc]

Wow, a graphic just showed Oden hasn't scored yet...

Harris is still attempting to find his shot too.

 

[coastalbuck]

The officials are going to lose control here if they don't make some calls.

 

[bkochmc]

Oden getting it done on both side of the court... gets his first bucket then draws a charge.

38-24

 

[OSU_Buckguy]

now THAT was a great offensive series. fakes and quick passes. another fake and dribble shot. that's what the team needs more of.

 

[txbuckeye1983]

Close call on the goaltend.

oden's being harrassed. he's being pulled down... by the arm and by the body. it's been physical at both ends, so the calls have been overall fair. still, the fouls on the players guarding oden are obvious. i know that oden's 7'1" but he does not look 280-290. if he is, he could EASILY be 350 no problem.

Oden getting some good rebounds this half
