tOSU 72 at Illinois 53 (Final) Feb 14 1 ET, CBS

There are virtually no Buckeye fans in the house making the silence after we score rather entertaining.

Give Illini fans credit - few have left the building even though they're down 22 with less than 4 minutes to play.

This is one of the most dominating performances I've seen from an Ohio State team in Big Ten play in a long time. And we're doing it on their home court! I almost feel bad for Illinois. But I don't.

Also, I'm no expert on incoming recruits, but I doubt that Jared Sullinger weighs 280 lbs.

I don't really know what to say. Last game, they were cold as ice at times. This game, they just dominate.

Illinois came in with eight losses. Five losses by 6 points or less and the worst being 13 points down to Missouri. Nobody held them to 53 points yet this year.

I'm with Dryden. Domination. A game like this at home really has to rock a team that everyone thought was red-hot.

Big win Boys!

I was impressed with how well the team played with Buford, and Dallas on the bench at the same time. Simmons knocking down shots could be very crucial in tournament play once someone gets in foul trouble.

David Lighty has really stepped his game up the last few games and almost taken the spot light off of turner a bit. Although turner still was only 2 assists away from another quiet triple double.

Was really impressed with Diebs creating space for himself today. If he continues to find ways to get open on his own watch out.

Over-all the most dominating performance from this club in a long time. as even turner just said on twitter "Good win today. The squad played well and it was a good way to win back in my home state. You all witnessed the "valentine's day massacre"

Twitter / evan turner: Good win today. The squad ...

1-3-1 was great, Illinois had some size, but OSU got their hands in the lanes. This is the team that could go far that I talked about in the other "Final 4" thread. If Diebler gets hot, they will be tough to keep up with, too many weapons. Buford was non-existent today after being hot of late, but they didn't need it. Again Diebler hot=== deep run.
