Illinois OSU tonight

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

Illinois up 5 with 14:00 to go. Illinois is 5-8 in conference....would be nice if they go to 5-9.

 

[LOU-RU85]

OSU double teaming the big guy. Again we win if we do that simple strategy.

 

[Degaz-RU]

OSU in a death battle at home. 44-42 Illinois.

 

[Degaz-RU]

Stupid foul there by Griffin. Just let him dunk the ball.

OSU now up 45-44 with 8 minutes left. Go Bucks!!

 

[DHajekRC84]

And there's that puss double foul thing. Wesson did nothing except Get the guys hand off his neck.

This is so pc...

 

[Degaz-RU]

Dammit, this Illinois team is playing at a high level and with confidence. They have a good inside out game now with Dusunmu and Frazier outside and Giorgi B inside. Very difficult team to defend.

They are going to do some damage in the B1G tournament.

55-50 Illinois up with less than 4 minutes left.

 

[Degaz-RU]

Crap, Wesson just fouled out. Both OSU bigs fouled out.

56-51 with 2:19 left.

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

Looking like Illinois first road win in over a year....up 3 with :57 and with the ball.

 

[MadRU]

up 6 with 29.3 left

 

[Degaz-RU]

Dagger 3 by Dusunmu. 62-56 with 29 seconds left

 

[Degaz-RU]

Really wanted Illinois to lose tonight to even up our records. Oh well

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

Illinois with the B1G road win. Dangerous team right now.

 

[Degaz-RU]

Horrible home loss for the Bucks. Devastating to their NCAA hopes.

 

[DHajekRC84]

Man, what a league.

 

[MadRU]

Illinois with the B1G road win. Dangerous team right now.

And with the B1G tourney in Chicago, they could do some damage.

 

[bac2therac]

amazing that they are just 10-15...I think they finish 9-11 maybe 10-10 if they can beat PSU at home. Not a team you want to play in the first round but they will be somewhere around that 7-9 position

 

[SJScarlet]

Is it possible the B1G only gets 6 NCAA bids? If neither OSU or Minn get to 18 wins...

 

[bac2therac]

there are alot of schools lacking around the bubble..thats why even Nebraska has a shot still if they finish 4-2. I think OSU has some good OOC things on the resume, a couple more wins and they will be okay. Minny is more in trouble because their OOC profile isnt as good but a few wins would do wonder.

Minnesota did beat Washington.

Ohio State has some tough games coming up.

02/17/19 at Michigan State 1:00 PM - probable L
02/20/19 NORTHWESTERN 8:30 PM - probable W
02/23/19 at Maryland 2:00 PM - probable L
02/26/19 IOWA 7:00 PM - toss-up, but Iowa could be favored
03/02/19 at Purdue 2:00 PM - probable L
03/06/19 at Northwestern 9:00 PM - toss-up to possible W
03/10/19 WISCONSIN 4:30 PM - toss-up (Wisconsin is better, but at home)

Looking at Illinois' slate, we will probably be rooting for them to beat the Hoosiers to help us get that bye.

Indiana:
02/16/19 at Minnesota 2:00 PM
02/19/19 PURDUE 7:00 PM
02/22/19 at Iowa 9:00 PM
02/26/19 WISCONSIN 9:00 PM
03/02/19 MICHIGAN STATE 12:00 PM
03/07/19 at Illinois 8:00 PM
03/10/19 RUTGERS 12:00 PM

If things break our way, the last game might not even factor into the final standings.

I will say 3-4/4-3 for OSU..that will be enough for a bid this year even with 3.

I think Indiana is done...one maybe two wins tops, but RU will need to have 6 going into that game to stay ahead of them

do you have Minnesota's schedule off hand, I think RU is in play to catch them

 

[bac2therac]

Minnesota

Indiana
Michigan
at Rutgers
at Northwestern
Purdue
at Maryland

some tough games but Pur/Mich at home, they will need one of those to make the tourney along with Indy and at North or at RU.

I would guess if they can 3 wins in these games they will dance. If RU beats them all bets off, I think what would be good is for them to beat Michigan at home and then come into the RAC and suffer the traditional letdown after a big game

I can't wait until Minny comes to the RAC. Hope we blow them the fck out

Penn State ?

 

[dkostus]

This is so pc...

Wtf is "pc" about a rule the NCAA put in place? Dumb f'ing comment

 

[Degaz-RU]

Penn State ?

They beat Michigan, though I doubt UM's tourney bid is in doubt. Maybe their seeding will take a slight hit.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Penn State ?

fake news....Michigan will make the tournament........and Northwestern is Rutgers/USF/DePaul bad

 

[TDIrish27]

Don't understand DePaul-----seen them 4 times and they have some good players-----a future NBA big.

They should be better.

Dammit, this Illinois team is playing at a high level and with confidence. They have a good inside out game now with Dusunmu and Frazier outside and Giorgi B inside. Very difficult team to defend.

They are going to do some damage in the B1G tournament.

55-50 Illinois up with less than 4 minutes left.

Two freshmen and a sophomore leading Illinois to another win on the road.

Agreed. Makes our OT loss there all the more brutal. So close . . . . .

Hey a hole. Ncaa put a rule in place that says everytime you call a technical foul anymore it has to be a double? Vs just call the one? I missed that rule.

That's the pc part. Afraid to just call the one without making it about both players every darn time.

F U pal.

F.U. die in fire.

Let’s all take a deep breath. Pretty sure no one needs to perish in a fire. Go RU!

 

[Knights 1212]

Illinois is really on a roll. I think they could finish as high as # 7 in league with an 11-9 finish. If we should ever finish at # 10 we just might meet them in the BIG Tournament in their home state. There are a lot more games to be played but that would be a tough chore indeed.

No worries. I do plan to be burned when done. He got that part right.
