Just 1 for 6 on threes so far and yet they're up 26-11 early in Champaign. Wow! Hopefully the Illini are getting a hot shooting game out of their system before Wednesday!

Been watching bits and pieces. Not too impressed with either team, from the little I have seen.
 

Did anyone see the ref get in the Illinois coaches face on the late turnover??? I can't believe there wasn't a fight, yet alone a technical foul....
 

Hoping Illini gets hyped up on this game and then flattems out Wed.
 

Has Ohio State beaten a good team all year? Or even looked good against one?

OSU looked very good in warmups against Marquette on the deck of that ship...lol - Beyond that, they looked really good for 30 minutes at Duke before blowing it late.

I really think they will miss Sullinger immensely. I don't think Thomas can draw those clutch fouls the way Sully did whenever they needed it. They have some great athletes in Thompson and Smith, but they don't shoot the ball very well. Craft has regressed this year with his shooting...Down to 35% on FG's. He's looking like a less flashy version of Rubio.
 


Illinois is crushing the Bucks 56-31, 10 minutes to play
Man is it hard to do anything on the road in the Big Ten
 



Do we jump up in the rankings this week (assuming OSU loses and we beat NW)?
 

It's going to be a crazy year in the Big Ten. I think 13 wins could win the conference again.
 


Bad game for OSU. Could use someone to step up as another consistent scorer to help Thomas.
 




Gophers headed for 8th...Coulda been 7th if those meddling refs hadn't over-stepped their bounds in the Zona game.
 

I think GW has it right; when Thomas was the second or third option last year, partcularly with the Sullinger inside presence, OSU's offense much more diverse. Craft is not by nature a scorer and can't be asked to do so. But Illnini and any top tier team in this league will be tough to handle at home. Gophers' challenge is to win 3 of next 4, and they would be in solid shape.
