If Trent can't snap out of his funk we won't win another game this season.

Just curious what everyone else thinks.

We have no bigs who can pick and pop.  We don't run an effective pick and roll.  So; why not utilize the wings to set the ball screen?

We are a heavily defensive orientated team that quickly becomes average when Kofi goes to the bench.   Our half court offense is just plain bad when Ayo is not in the game and when he is in the game he has to be spectacular just for us to be average.  We can't set screens for shit, all of our pick and pops is more pop than pick.  Ayo's athleticism camouflages our bigs inability to stay still when attempting to set one.  More times than not even before the screen is even set, Ayo is around the corner and half way to the hoop.

I for one did not enjoy watching EJ Liddell make Illinois his bitch down the stretch.

OSU has been playing good ball, we were at their place and I thought the officiating was a little inconsistent at times. I’m not saying it was egregious in favor of tOSU but more the kind of home cooking you have to expect to overcome to win on the road in the B1G against a quality opponent.

The thing that really stuck out to me was the rebounding. Typically one of our strengths but we got owned last night on the glass. Seemed like they had 15 extra possessions due to tap outs on long misses and they cleaned the defensive glass. I’m so used to the Illini getting second chance points off offensive rebounds and last night they were very few and far between. They had good position every time we went up with a shot. I think we even lost a rebound on a play where Feliz and another Illini player fought over the ball.

We didn't play that well last night but thought we got homered.  Tough to lose an 8 point road game with a conference title potentially on the line where your best player has to sit for 10 minutes on some ticky-tack fouls and the other team shoots 3x as many free throws as you.

Thats because Kofi and Georgi got called for mostly bullshit in the first half and were in foul trouble the whole game... 5'9" Feliz and Damonte can't be asked to get every rebound and every bricked 3 from O$U seemed to clang right back to them... happens sometimes

The thing that pissed me off the most though was the complete inconsistency and horseshit calls in the first half, there were 15 fouls called in like the first 4 minutes, then what 19 for the entire half?  Then they let them beat the piss out of each other in the 2nd half?  How the hell are players supposed to adjust, especially if they are in foul trouble... total bullshit and the parade to the line most of the night and god awful shot clock management annoyed the fuck outta me.  Totally unprofessional and in such a big game they should have had an actual good B1G reffing crew working the game.

They called 13 fouls on Pompous Castoffs from Appalachia that cheer for the best professional sports teams in Ohio.  in the game.

They called 13 fouls on Illinois in the first 22.5 minutes.

for the season
Illinois averages 16 fouls per game - had 22
O$U averages 17 - had 13

the worst part was when and where they called those fouls though as O$U got far more free throws out of the deal
Illinois was 9/10 free throws
O$U was 24/28!

O$U shot 3/15 from 3pt land and 38% from 2 and won by 8...
we shot 6/22 and 43.6% from 2...   yeah...

They outrebounded OSU in the first half, when Kofi and Gio were on the bench. They got outrebounded in the second half, when they were in.

I agree that the refs changed the way they called the game though.

OSU also played without their best player for almost the whole first half because he picked up two early fouls. They weren't anymore tick tack than ours, in fact I iirc one was pretty clearly a charge on Kofi. If Wesson hadn't gotten those I think the first half would have looked much different.

What I saw was mostly bigger, stronger players getting fouled more. It was comical watching Gio try to guard any of the O S U bigs. Of course he had to foul, there wasn't anything else he could do.

Kofi was no match for K. Wesson either.

There may have been a bit of usual Big Ten homerism but to me most of it was just being outmatched physically.

Except Sean May would have had two fouls called on him in the first five minutes.
