Computers must think Ohio State is alot better than Illinois prior Big 10 home opponents.
Vs Penn State (-10.5)
Vs Wisconsin (-7.5)
Vs Michigan State (-6.5)
Vs Indiana (-6.5)
Vs Ohio State (-3.5)
Crowd may be light given Winter Storm Warning across Illinois tonight.

Was wondering who was going to start this thread....
-
Who starts the threads is still a work in progress.
We do get Robbie Hummel for his expert analysis.
It looks as tho Goode is hoping to be back on the floor for games sometime around Valentine's Day ?
-
Need to play well tonight. During our 4-game win streak we had a near 2:1 assist to turnover ratio. That was not the case against Indiana. This will be a dog fight.
-
Sensabaugh is a 6'6" 240lb freshman. Run him ragged when we're on offense and keep throwing bodies at him on defense.
He leads the team in scoring and shoots well from everywhere.
Running around outside the 3 point line while the other team watches us accomplish nothing ain't going to cut it.
The team shoots 39% from 3 and 74% on free shots. Their free shot defense isn't great, so maybe we can find a couple of extra points at the line.

Hope you feel better Jasn88Cub.

This has been a crap start, eh? Can't even pass the ball.
-
Looks like we have no interest in getting Dainja or Mayer involved

This is your best post ever.

Terrible start.
-
Should have done a 360 dunk there.
-
Tempo probably does not know there is a game tonight since The Score dorks probably didn't discuss it.

We’ll hear the analysis though. Then somebody will ask if he watched and he’ll say no but claim he’s right and we’re wrong.
Edit- Then a week later ask us to prove where he was wrong…
-
5 turnovers, after 3 early, and shooting 23% from 3.
Rebounding is even. 11-13 on free shots.
31% shooting for tOSU.

Blocked shot totals?

Blocked shot totals?
4 - 0 Illini

Blocked shot totals?
4-0.
I already told you.
-
Ohio State shooting 7/26 from 2 point range. 29%. Might as well jack 3s if you are going to shoot that poorly
-
Poor start but playing well on defense and we have enough clicking on offense to be up safely. OSU not looking like the pick of the B1G litter here.
-
Did Underwood recruit Likekele at Oklahoma State? Bc this guy is terrible. No idea why Ohio State would want him. He’s shooting. 38/14/50 on the season. He’s one reason they are awful.
I think Illinois has this game. I was wondering how Ohio State could lose to Minnesota and Nebraska. Now I know
-
Estimate the overall record: 17-16
What will be the Big 10 record: 8-12
Will the team make the NCAA tourney: No
Will the team make the NIT: No
Starters:
Epps
Shannon
Melendez
Hawkins
Dainja
Bench
Goode
Clark
Rodgers
Honestly this is the best case scenario. Underwood managed to lose 20 games with Ayo on the roster so I’m being overly generous given the question marks on the roster
-
Dom needs OSU to pull this one out.
-
Is the score off on the screen or can the announcer not add?
-
17-16 was "overly generous."
Don't become a gambler, Dom.
-
Just double checked the ESPN app...he cannot add.
-

Sounds like he gambled in the market and ended up living in a dorm while driving for Uber, or something like that.
-
Yea Judy still on pace. They are gonna lose all 6 of their remaining road games.
And 2 of these home ones (NW, Rutgers, Michigan).
-
This one's not quite in the bag yet.

So do you get off on the attention of people thinking you’re a complete fucking idiot?!
-

Keep going in the paint and it should be.
But ..
-
Epps!
-
Big brain inbounds by Epps.
-
Epps with 14

Yep. Poorest guy here.
-

He bragged about buying a house for the husband of his green card ex. So yes.
-
Nice two man action here with Rodgers and Hawkins.
-
Well on our way to matching Dom's original 14 win prediction.
-
So do you get off on the attention of people thinking you’re a complete fucking idiot?!
First, Illinois will not be favored in any road game the rest of the season. There’s 6 losses.
NW already beaten Illinois once. They could do it again.
Rutgers is better than Illinois. They beat Purdue on the road. They could certainly beat Illinois.
And Michigan has enough talent to steal one.
Then a loss in the BTT ( Purdue is going to win it).
And loss in the NIT.
That’s 16 losses. Right on schedule
-
Looks like Jasn88Cub should spend all the rest of the games sitting in the restroom.
-
Tempo probably does not know there is a game tonight since The Score dorks probably didn't discuss it.
It’s on the TV. I’m playing Risk with my kid. But thanks for the shoutout, Robb Jr.

Ummm, sure. If this were 3-5 years ago maybe.
-
And then get pissy when you tell him to look for the post where he said it himself.
You’ve become a poor meme generator.
-
Really solid performance overall so far. Should go 4-1 in the remaining home games and have a chance to pick up 2-3 on the road as we'll be even odds or better against everyone except Purdue. Should get to .500 in conference. Likely a 7-10 seed no one wants to play.

Yep. Looks like 10-10 or better in conference.
-

To be fair, no one would have thought that was acceptable after beating Texas. This team is very up and down. Need to finish the season strong. Underwood teams typically do (until tourney time), so I’m still hopeful.
-
OSU with a garbage time run that John Groce would be proud of to move the final margin to single digits.
Good bounce back. Now do it again @ Wisky.

It's pretty underwhelming. My only enjoyment is seeing Dom being wrong as usual.
-

But ..
We went 0-8 from 3 after this.
Blistered the nets from 3 again shooting 5-28 for 18%
-
Poor Dom. His boyfriend is shackling him up and whipping him as we speak.
-
Nobody called how shitty this team would be. Except me. 6 months before the season started. Before the schedule was even made. And it’s playing out exactly how I planned.
Remaining games:
@Wisconsin (LOSS) 14-7
Nebraska (WIN) 15-7
@Iowa (LOSS) 15-8
Minnesota (WIN) 16-8
Rutgers (LOSS) 16-9
@Penn State (LOSS) 16-10
@Indiana (LOSS) 16-11
Northwestern (WIN) 17-11
@Ohio State (LOSS) 17-12
Michigan (LOSS) 17-13
@Purdue (LOSS) 17-14 (8-12)
Given that Illinois got to play the 3 worst teams in the conference 6 times, that’s rather shitty
-

Attack the paint. Make free throws. Play defense. Don't attempt 25 threes a game. That's the game plan from here on out.
-

Underwood won't allow that game plan.
The rebounding and defense were ok tonight.
-

Don't try to take Asia at the start, Temp0. Key to Risk.
-
Blows my mind that Risk is still around. Remember playing it with my dad as a kid.
-
Great game. He’s been really into maps and flags lately. I distinctly remember it helping me learn basic geography when I was a kid. I got it for him as a Christmas gift. The game is a little advanced for him (turned 8 in November), but I like to challenge his brain. We’ve played a couple of times, he’s starting to understand strategy. Just wish it didn’t take so long to complete a game. Lol
-
Did you start with Stratego?
-
Did you start with Stratego?
Best board game ever. Don't put your flag in a corner!
-
Also played a lot of Stratego as a kid. Think I’m gonna order it. Risk is probably a bit much for my girls.
-
Chris Holtmann is a punk.
-
How so?
-
Well that was nice, squeaky dumfucknick looking more wrong by the day
-
Can’t say I remember ever playing Stratego.
-
How so?
Pressing full court down 14 with a minute left.
Not calling his guys off after Underwood took a TO with 6 seconds.
Not sure what he was trying to accomplish. UI still covered. Does losing by single digits make a difference?
-
Great defensive effort by Illinois.
No home cooking in this one.
-
Did Epps get an assist and a field goal?

Underwood did the exact same thing vs Mizzou when he was down 30 for most of the 2nd half.
In fact, Terence Shannon was hoisting shots with under 2 minutes left to go in that game. Down 92-68 with 1:30 to go. Never left the floor. Was still on the floor till the end. Check the play by play. I know you claimed to have missed the game.
Name another coach that would have their best player on the court, under 1 minute to play, and down 25 points?
In other words nichi, shut the fuck up. You are running your mouth with pissant homer talk.

It probably wouldn't take as long if you kept your sockpuppets out of the game.
-
Yeah, I don’t see the big deal. If someone commits a hard foul in a blowout, that’s different. But I’m not going to rail on someone for pressing with a minute left.
-
drivel
Rodgers had another nice game. 8 rebounds in 15 minutes. Solid defensive effort. Had a couple buckets and a nice assist.
I now have ESPN. Can't comment on the Missouri game. Didn't have ESPN. Don't know the situation. Did Missouri run down the clock and take a turnover? Did Illinois then shoot a 3?
It was not so much the pointless press with a minute left.
Illinois had just ran the clock down to 6 seconds. Took a turnover rather than trying to score. tOSU then shoots a three pointer to cut the lead to 9 points.
If you are going to call me a liar, there is no point in further discussion. I do not pretend to not watch games. A conversation with you is like talking to a 9 year old.
-

What annoyed me more was shooting the three after Illinois ran the clock down to 6 seconds and took a turnover instead of trying to score. That was right after Hummel commented on Illinois finally beating Ohio State by double digits. oops.
Pressing down 14 with a minute to go just struck me as pointless, but I only commented in context of that last shot.
Neither is any way the equivalent of simply trying to score down 25 with 2 minutes left. Nobody stops playing with 2 minutes left. Dom's comparison was complete drivel.
-
Upon further review, Holtmann is still kind of a punk, but he was maybe playing it smart. I am told margins of victory and defeat matter.
Maybe Uberwood was being smart too. By having his team run down the shot clock and take the turnover, he prevented them from jacking up a couple more stupid threes.
I still feel cheated out of a double digit victory. That game felt like a 25 point beat down.

Squeaky said Rodgers sucks and isnt Big 10 caliber. The idiot also said that Harris is better than Rodgers and has more upside although a couple years order.
-
Harris has a LONG way to go on his shot. For how advanced he is on defense, he’s equally behind with that. It is probably one of the most ugly shots I’ve seen and the same with his FT’s.
-
That game felt like a 25 point beat down.
No, that was Mizzou beating Illinois. Mizzou was up 35 points in the 2nd half. That’s what a 25 point beatdown actually feels like, bc it actually happened.
And in that game, Terence Shannon was on the court for the entire game.
So claiming another coach should quit trying in a 14 point game, when Underwood had his best players on the court (HIS STARTERS) in the game, with under a minute to go, with Mizzou up 92-68 is absolutely assinine
-

Rodgers suck. So does Skyy Clark. Look at their fucking stats

Again, this is what a messageboard beat down looks like.
Some idiot runs his mouth about an opposing coach. And I show, said idiot, that the coach he loves wouldn’t even take out his starters with a minute to go down 25.
Your welcome.
Nichi take the loss and hit the road till the next game Illinois had a chance to win. That won’t be this weekend.
-
More drivel
Your welcome.
Did you like the way Rodgers played?
you're welcome
-
Rodgers suck. So does Skyy Clark. Look at their fucking stats
Do you get ESPN at the dorm?
-
And in that game, Terence Shannon was on the court for the entire game.
Didn't see the game, so I can't really comment on context.
I did look at the box score. Terrence Shannon played 37 minutes. Kobe Brown played 37 minutes.
I looked at the play by play. Missouri clearly didn't run down the shot clock and take a turnover with seconds remaining. It appears both teams kept playing with rotation players until time expired.
-
Do you get ESPN at the dorm?
He doesn't need to watch them. He looks at stats. He said Jacob Grandison is a better basketball player than Matthew Mayer, based on shooting percentage.
Or he looks at some high school video sans context.
-
I didn't really follow the game. A lot of it was due to me have constant gas. Think I had to much chees eover weekend maybe? Idk
Like in Uncle BUck when Buck said cheese plugs him up
Hopefully i'll be better set for tomorrow's game

The Nichi playbook:
1. Be wrong about something.
2. Argue about being wrong.
3. Go back and change a few words, but not the meaning, of what was said originally, then argue that the original post "was never said."
4. Make a bunch of useless comparisons to other games. Extra points for going back 50 years or more.
5. Claim victory.

You just got proved wrong about the Missouri game. Literally within the last 12 hours.
Are you ever right about anything, other than the basic facts like what the score of the game was?
-
You just got proved wrong about the Missouri game.
Apparently you didn't follow the conversation. I didn't watch the Missouri game.
I commented on the last minute of the tOSU game. Especially the last 6 seconds. tOSU was pressing down 14 under a minute. Not sure why you wait until then to press. Seems pointless.
Then UI was up 12. They ran the shot clock all the way down and took a TO. Hummel comments the Illini are finally going to defeat tOSU by double digits. Then Sueing makes an uncontested three. UI wins by 9. Strikes me as a punk play by tOSU. I gather it helped them in statistical based rankings to lose by 9 instead of 12?
Dom posts a long rant about the Missouri game, full of drivel. Claims I actually saw it and lied about my DTV package excluding ESPN. Another classic case of projection. It is something he would do.
He claims Underwood did the same thing against Missouri. Then he wails that Shannon played the whole game. Misspells Shannon's first name.
I reply that I didn't see the Missouri game, can't comment on context. Box score does shows Missouri's best player played the same number of minutes as Shannon. (37) play by play shoes nothing odd at the end. Both teams appear to have kept playing until the end.
Try to keep up.

Congrats. You just covered almost your whole playbook. If you had only referred to a game from 1975, you might have nailed the whole thing.
-
Congrats. you nailed the whole thing.
Thanks. I figured if I explained you would take the time to understand, rather than just replying with mindless personal attacks. I was beginning to think you were simply too stupid.
