Let's Go Bucks!

Better be ready to play from the opening whistle..Illinois plays better when they start fast..if we can defend the 3 and limit fast breaks we win..otherwise we could be in for a long day..

pissed this is on BTN

My opinion, is this game goes as Shannon Scott goes. If he comes in and ignites the offense through defense, the Buckeyes are in great shape. If he's invisible for the most part, we'll be playing from behind. Deshaun has to be patient if his shot isnt falling early or if he isnt getting great looks. They have a 7 footer in the middle so this is another big test for Amir.

LET'S GO BUCKS!

Well that was a botched start for the Bucks. Not good...

 

[scarletmike]

Good move by Thompson to draw the foul, but gotta make both shots in situations like that.

 

[OhioState001]

Really big game. These borderline road B1G games are huge.

 

[scarletmike]

There's Smith with the trey!

Damnit, Thompson with slippery fingers.

 

[Mac]

Free throws!!!! Come on

Another trey from Smith Jr

 

[scarletmike]

Smith with another 3. Hope he stays hot, we need it.

 

[scarletmike]

How was there not a foul called on that!? Good job of getting back on defense, but we have to get the rebounds!

 

[scarletmike]

The lack of a real inside presence is very glaring right now. Getting abused inside.

Also, we need to find something to stop them so we can get into our transition offense.

Ugh craft finish that come on.
