Lets double our score from Wednesday and get a win!

Edit: Its been reported this is Ohio State's 2nd sellout of the year. Going to be tough, but I've got a good feeling :-)

What the hell, let's triple it!

tOSU -2.5
O/U 121

Ill take us and the over today.

Go Illini!

I sure hope they play with play with more enthusiasm than BW showed in that pregame lockeroom piece on CBS.

Good start Tizzy

Great start shooting...

Good start so far :-)

9-4 Illini!

Almost eclipsed our FGs made for either half against PSU.

17:00 to play.

How the he!! is that a charge, he was playing on Chester and slid straight over! Weak call!

agreed. that was crap.

Who is that ref!! Is that the same guy from Wednesday? What a terrible call, no way the OSU guy was set!!!

Man that one hand floater by MD is pretty...

Wow!

This is fun!

A complete 180 degree turn in shooting from last game

The passing was crisp until that Keller turnover... Cant get a rebound to save our lives(but whats new there)

If this team could rebound...

Enough cheering for tOSU by the commentators, time to turn on the radio...

Our rebounding problems are starting to show up once again.

Oh CHET! Last few games he is playing like OLD Chet

Already as many buckets as the 2nd half of last game, and one more than the first half.

8 minutes in.

Suddenly gotten ugly. Come'on Boys!

In part because we're shooting well, we're the better team right now.

But a mistake here and there is allowing mini-runs by OSU to continually keep them in the game.

Since opening with great shooting and a 16-8 lead we have had:

-RETARDED turnover by Keller

-allowed them 2 offensive rebounds and then they drained a 3

-RETARDED turnover by Frazier

-FOUL them on a layup for a 3 point play opportunity

Weber needs to start yanking players when they give up the ball like that.

Awful!

Yep, Vern and Raft have their red and silver pom poms out today.

Comon Bruce, put Jordan in. pleeeeeze!!!!

Is it just me or is PJ Hill 2 times as fast as McCamey. Im not sure I like Chester on him either since he's not their best scoring guard, but I've seen 3 plays that PJ drove and kicked because Demetri is getting burned. Luckily, they've missed 2 of those 3 wide open shots.

Spot on Wes! You nailed all our problems.

We have not looked good against the zone last 4 or 5 possessions.

Keller is having a rough day so far

Things have definitly slowed down, but OSU isnt pushing it either.

Overall looking pretty good so far. I can't believe it's almost March and Legion can't even find his way into a game. Hopefully we keep it up, I suspected we'd be due for a good effort coming off the last 3 games.

I'll add the ft violation the list! Good thing Lauderdale is like Pruitt at the line.

But I must compliment the interior passing between Davis and Tisdale to each other. That was a sweet pass for the Tisdale layup! Our 3 sophs just ooze with potential.

There is a thread asking why we don't run more often.Our early two on one opportunity answered it.We never score on a fast break opportunity.

Exclude the fouling at the end of the IU game (since it was intentional); the last time the Illini shot a free throw in normal game action was with 11:47 to go in the 1st half of the IU game.

I ABSOLUTELY REFUSE TO BELIEVE THAT WE HAVEN'T BEEN FOULED ONCE IN THE COURSE OF SHOOTING SINCE THEN!

Tisdale was moved under by Buford on his last basket.

Who is the positive poster of this board, cause we know who is going to point out our negatives on each game thread :-) I do argue with your first point there though, I dont think that was a retarded turnover by Keller, he had a cutter, he just threw it 7 feet wide and 10 feet too high. Had the right idea, he made up for it by nailing a 15 footer.

We need Sean Harrington or Rick Howat in there!

We've got to start working it inside a little, our shots are getting deeper and deeper.

ahhh Tissy's got to finish that.

Great charge taken by Brock.

Good jjob Calvin

Brock with some good non box score stats. Great positioning on the offensive rebound and drawing the charge on the following end.

Tisdale is rebounding....I like it

Great hustle Chet
Lazy ball handling by DMac

DMac nees to work on his handles.

The crowd is pi$$ing me off now with their every piece of contact is a foul. This is the big 10 idiots.

Started out really good. Game is getting uglier by the minute.

still no FTs...

....still no penetration

DMac needs to step up his D.
He looked like a turnstyle there...

I think this same thought about 3 or 4 times every game

This would be nearly 85 minutes without a FT in game time (exclude the IU final 3 minutes). That is unheard of.
