    Illinois is unconscious, they'd beat Kansas by 10 today if they keep this up.

    Illinois is just raining 3s from everywhere. They can't keep that up right?!

    OSU blew this team out twice this year.... Illinois just hitting everything they throw up today is all. You'd expect most these shots to not fall in the 2nd half... Diebler needs to stay out of foul trouble and it would be nice if the National Player of the Year could get some fouls his way

    Take away Turner's game winner yesterday, and he's been pretty bad overall. Way too many turnovers. Today alone, he has 5.

    The way Illinois is playing is reminding me of when we played Tennessee in the 2007 sweet 16. It was as if The vols couldn't miss a bucket. They cooled off in the second half, so hopefully this will be the same.

    COME ON MIAMI! Beat Duke! Of course it won't mean anything if we don't beat Illinois.

    When you play a team 3 times though they probably figure out your tendancies(sp??). Illinois can't miss. Those shots can't fall for another 20 minutes. We'll be alright.

    I didn't think I'd say it, but the week off really hurt OSU.

    Not so sure the Buckeyes are looking disinterested or whether they are just very tired. They look very slow today and their shots are just ugly!
    Yesterday the excuse was Ohio State was stale, too long of a rest. Today it's they're VERY tired. I'm mystified.

    Well they better suck it up, because they will be off near another week once the Big Ten tourny is over.

    Illinois will probably win this game, for two reasons. First, this game really doesn't mean anything to Ohio State. They are a 2 seed no matter what they do. Second, it is very hard to beat a team 3 times in a season, especially a pretty good team like Illinois.

    OSU getting out more on defense to start the second half
  • osu45804

    And a lot of people would tell you that's a good thing.

    Nothing is falling and they can't miss

    A study has been done and 80% of the time the team that wins the 1st two games, wins the 3rd.

    We are just not playing well right now. But 8 isn't too high a hill to climb.

    When did I ever say yesterday that they looked stale and had too long of a rest? Maybe you should de-mystify your goggles and realize they are looking a little dead. Credit Illinois for shooting lights out, but the Bucks are turning the ball over entirely too much and are cold from the field.....Either they came out unfocused or they're tired.

    Excuses are starting early. At least my team only has one excuse. They aren't good. :P
  • Midstate01
    That's not a foul!! Make up your minds. Let them play or call everything.

    Did the announcer just say Ed Hightower and great ref in the same sentence?
