tOSU -2.5 at Illinois (ov/un 136.5) Sat Noon ET, CBS

Every team has a weakness, and ours is the lack of big men. We have several 6'5"-6'7" types, but a team with several 6'9"+ guys is a problem.

We need to box out better, consider doubling down at times, and select better shots on offense.

Just got home a few minutes ago.

Not sure what's going on with the transition defense or the ticky tack - and non called fouls. But man Illinois looks like (and sounds) there getting away with a ton.

We were up 33-26 with 3 minutes left in the first half and Illinois has been outplaying us on both ends of the court ever since.

Blaming it on the refs is a cop out. We're being outplayed.

Sully has 13 boards, the rest of the team, 7.

Slapping at rebounds instead of pulling them down now. If Lighty grabs that last one instead of trying to tip it, he would have had a much better finish there. When the other team is a lot taller though, the smaller guys have troubles pulling them down. We need more offensive movement.

Lighty and Buford are a combined 4-19.

Yep.

I don't know if it's just the size or what but Buford, Deibs and Lighty just can't get anything going this half.
