Illinois up 5 with 14:00 to go. Illinois is 5-8 in conference....would be nice if they go to 5-9.
 
Stupid foul there by Griffin. Just let him dunk the ball.

OSU now up 45-44 with 8 minutes left. Go Bucks!!
 
And there's that puss double foul thing. Wesson did nothing except Get the guys hand off his neck.

This is so pc...
 
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.

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

56-51 with 2:19 left.
 
Looking like Illinois first road win in over a year....up 3 with :57 and with the ball.
 
Really wanted Illinois to lose tonight to even up our records. Oh well
 
Horrible home loss for the Bucks. Devastating to their NCAA hopes.
 
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

Is it possible the B1G only gets 6 NCAA bids? If neither OSU or Minn get to 18 wins...
 
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.
 
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
 
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
 
Don't understand DePaul-----seen them 4 times and they have some good players-----a future NBA big.

They should be better.

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

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.
 
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.
