Do we want a game thread?
-
Yeah look how apathetic we’ve become already. 🤣 Thanks!
Let’s fucking go
-
Forgive us. We're not used to being in this position. ;D
-
Ouch Sueing
EDIT: and ouch Kofi

I think if Liddell hits his threes, it’s going to be a tough game. If not, we will win by double digits.
-
Cmon, Kofi
-
Hopefully no injuries and definitely no stupid shit from either team during this game. Need both to be at full strength heading into the NCAA Tournament.

4th game in 4 days for Ohio State. 3 point shots are going to be short.
-
Take that charge, Trent!
-
They are hanging all over Kofi
-
OSU bringing it on the defensive end
-
Feed the big man!
-
I like the direction this game is taking.
-
Good start. Too many fouls but not much is coming easy for tOSU
-
The Illini may have figured out the key is to have a 7 footer not named Blab, Kujawa, or Smith
-
LETS GO!!!!
-

I am a little concerning about fouls piling up
-
If I'm defending Curbelo, I absolutely dare him to take jump shots (at this point in his college career). Once he develops a consistent mid-range jump shot and a respectable 3 point shot, he's off to the NBA.
-
What is this ? Kofi's 5th year of playing hoops ?
He's improved his game a ton.

From Fr to So has been an incredible leap.
-

Miller has 2, the rest are 1
Ahrens and Jallow for tOSU with 2
-
We’re just on a whole different level than anybody in college basketball right now besides maybe Gonzaga. So dominant and locked in. On a mission. Fouls won’t even matter this game. We’re THAT good.
-
I just yelled "Frank!" when Damonte hit the last 3.
-
Ohio state has no legs. Just about every shot they take is short. They are only getting their pts on lay ups and from the foul line.
-
We're not 'IU', Jim.
-
We're not 'IU', Jim.
I heard that also. C'mon Nuntz.
-
1 for 10 on 3s for Ohio State. I keep waiting for Illinois to go to a 2-3 zone and dare OSU to shoot from outside.
-
We should be up 20. Instead only 5.
-
You knew they weren't gonna just lay down for us. We have to go out and take it.
-
15 point lead down to 5. Let's go.
-
Neither Dos or belo having a good game.
-
17 pt led. 27-10. 11 min mark.
-
Osu led pts in the paint 18-12.
-
We looked the tired team those last 3 minutes.
Pick up the pace again
-
That Allstate singing hood ornament is creepy AF.
-
tOSU couldn’t make anything early despite plenty of wide open looks. They started making them later in the half.
Beezer Twelve Washingbeard is a pro.
Not sure about the tired narrative...this is our third game in three days. OSU is bringing the intensity and rebounding well.
As said earlier gotta go out and get it they aren’t going to hand it to us.
-

Ayo will have a great 2nd half. Belo will pick it up too.
-

Clearly the love child of Juan Epstein and Julio Fuentes.

4 in 4 is more tiring -- and 1 game went to OT. You recall the #11 seed Illini teams of yesteryear that made it to the championship game but had nothing left in the tank.
-
They're short handed. Run em
-
This is pathetic officiating. Going to be 40 fucking fouls this game but that wasn't one. Jfc
-
Pull it together and make a run.
-
STOP BLOWING THE FUCKING WHISTLE YOU POS REFS
-
Ohio st 12 of last 14.
-
Refs reallyl want their tv time
-
That's a charge
-
more bullshit
-
Horse fucking shit. Zebras want OSU as champs.
-
Damonte does a good job on Liddell
-
Giorgi stepping up
-
Big rebound and put back for Giorgi
-
Giorgi ON FIRE
-
The Georgi show!
-
Giorgi stepping up
Big time. Happy for the guy. Championship teams have players who contribute off the bench and don't complain about playing time.
-
Let's put these fucks away
-
Hope Rafterry doesn't do a Dee Williams reference again.I guess we should happy he didn't do a Billy Dee Williams referrence.
-
They keep running that same play and we have no answer for it
-
Ohio state getting lay up after lay up
Officiating is garbage
-
We are looking like shit on D today. You don't make stops, you lose against good teams
-
Almost wouldn’t have minded Underwood getting a technical on that Kofi foul, that was BS.
-
LET'S WIN THIS SHIT!
-
Frazier!!!
-
They really shut Kofi down. Need Ayo and belo to close this out.
-
Sure doesn’t feel like we’ve hit 8 3s lol
-
I want to kick all you cocky motherfuckers that thought this was gonna be a cakewalk right in the dick
-
Sure doesn’t feel like we’ve hit 8 3s lol
Yeah I’ll say it. These refs are horseshit!
-
Clearly the love child of Juan Epstein and Julio Fuentes.
It’s funny I just responded to this text and came back to HQ during commercial and this was first post I saw

Bombs away!
-
We look tired no one is having fun except washingbeard
-
Weren't we just mocking Iowa for complaining about the refs?
-
OT. Only fitting.
-
Hero ball shot was best we could draw up, huh
-
Kofi has 4 fouls. Lidell has 2. Should have went to the rim.
-
wtf AYo?
-
The prevent offense only prevents you from winning.
-
Get a shot going to the basket, not a 25 foot jump shot.
-
Make that our 5s have 9. Liddell has 2
-
What the fuck was THAT? Drive FFS.
-
I don't think I've ever seen Ayo this out of sorts.
-
You gotta attack the rim there to force them to foul Ayo
-
Our offense was fucking terrible the last few minutes we look done for
-
I don't think I've ever seen Ayo this out of sorts.
Took his right hand away and keep jumping into him off the screen. Completely neutralizes him.
-
Let’s fucking win this
-

+1
Nice shot Curbelo!
-
FTs will kill this team
-
FTs will kill this team
Yup
-
Just grab him around the neck. FFS
-
Maybe icing Kofi was not a bad idea after all
-
CLOSE IT OUT!
-
+1
Nice shot Curbelo!
And another big shot for #5
-
We gotta make Liddell pay for losing the ball
-
YES!
FINISH. THIS.
-
One more score
-
We gotta make Liddell pay for losing the ball
HUGE turnover. Pull Kofi for Miller or Grandison?
-
Make your FT’s!!!! Please please please!!!!
-
Weren't we just mocking Iowa for complaining about the refs?
Are you saying there are a few here who whine about officiating with the best of the Iowa fans? :o
-
We fucking did it!! I love this team!!!
-
One more FT
-
Ok ok maybe too soon.
-
Knock these down, Ayo
-
One more stop!
-
WTF, Grandison
-
Even if he hits these, we should be in the clear if we inbound and make at least on FT.
EDIT: THAT WORKS TOO!
-
I;m to old for this.. I don't think I should watch the tourney
-
GAME. SET. FUCKING MATCH!
-
Liddell.....
I went to TOSU because of football when I could have gone to Illinois and been BTT champs.
-
This feels so fucking good! We did it guys! This is so fucking fun and I love this team! Now time to win the NC! We’re on a mission!
-
FUCK YEAH!
-
I think this game will be good for us going into the tourney. Refs called it close which they tend to in the tourney. Knowing you have to keep fighting the whole game. Take these lessons and make a deep run.
-
Big Ten Champions fr!!
-
and that 3 just lost some people some money lol
-
OSU really choked at the end there but we fucking deserved every bit of that win!
-
Victory! I’ve probably never seen an Illini team that grew on me as much. It’s been a weird but wonderful basketball season!
-
I want to kick all you cocky motherfuckers that thought this was gonna be a cakewalk right in the dick
Like I said, the better team (Illinois) would win, and the Illini won.

Agreed. A good tough matchup heading into the tourney. I thought OSU definitely got favorable calls but it evened up as the game got close. A really good win.

OSU was going to make a run. They're just way too good to get blown out. You gotta give Washington his props. Dude went Steph Curry all over our asses. We took their best punches and still won at the end.
-
Bucknuts played damn good. We started out up 17.
Give them credit for 4 in 4 days and playing like they did.
-
Congratulations to Illinois, the true 2021 Big Ten Champion.
-
41 points off the bench.
-
41 points off the bench.
That's the mark of a real team. Neither Ayo or Kofi had a great game, but they still got it done.
-
We outshot them at the line. 75%-73%. 24 vs 22 points. We made em when we needed em.

Kofi 6-13
Everyone else 18-19
-
Kofi hitting free throws late, along with Giorgi hitting free throws sealed it.
-
I'm tired.

SFA had BU’s period there vacated due to academic admin allowing ineligible players to play across many sports. Add that to the assistant issue at OSU, BU’s hasty exit to IL, OSU’s pending NCAA appeal, and Illinois’ ascension to the national spotlight, and it’s unfortunately become a pretty common meme across the collegebasketballverse.
Before the old HQ shut down we had some guys that kinda knew the recruiting scene and made it pretty clear Illinois was playing the gray areas. I’ve always personally felt and even mentioned before at the old board that I thought Underwood would be more likely to leave Illinois due to NCAA problems than failing to win enough. Not that I think he’s necessarily dirty but more so that he’s just not the kind of guy that’s going to do things like Weber did. He’s going to push every boundary for any kind of advantage. There have been some rumors of Whitman stepping in and mediating in some of the big recruiting battles they’ve been involved in.
-
Damn. I’m horny now.
Cumulatively, I bet the starting five for Illinois has at least 15-18” more cock than Iowa’s starting 5.
-
Damn. I’m horny now.
One of the best things about cooling your balls is the extra oomph it gives you.

It’s one thing for a fan to say “you bought the best players”
When Bohannon says it, it’s tacitly admitting he’s not the best.

Oh,FFS. Everybody pushes the rules. The rules are a joke. The system is a fcking joke. AAU teams are non-profits. Donors make donations to La Lumiere etc,. Schools have shoe deals, AAU clubs get shoe company donations to send kids to those schools. The money and goods gets routed. It is all relative. Kids get shoes to go to Western Illinois. They get a lot more to go higher levels. It's been that way for generations. Everybody can shut the fck up. They are all in on it, and they all benefit.

Do you think there’s any difference in the way Bill Self and Bruce Weber utilize those things to operate their programs?
Also, how many edibles did Giorgi and Kofi have before their post game interview. 🤔

Yeah. One plays checkers, the other plays chess. They both play.
-
In a roundabout way you confirmed my point.
-

Whatever it was, I'm sure it was amazing.

Checkers continues to receive undue criticism. What the fuck did checkers ever do to these people?

Geez. I think this guy wants to actually fuck our team.
-

Agree Lk dealt checkers a low blow
-
If you have someone that want to fuck you as badly as this guy wants to fuck our team, you have made it in life. And you have marvelous, wonderful, crazy, heart attack inducing sex.
Their fucking vice grip thighs...
Of course maybe it is a really hot chick.

I choose not to allow for that possibility. It has to be a type A, super aggressive homosexual male. Just has to be.
100% likelihood as I found that comment on reddit
