Yep. OSU got some easy buckets early on strips, but haven't been nearly as active on defense since. Both times are ripping at the ball on drives to the basket. Neither team is having success attacking the basket, but Illinois has stopped trying and is making their shots. OSU is still trying and is turning the ball over.

5 turnovers for ET. Oof.

Most of the boards are saying, "not a #1 seed performance" and "not a POY performance".

It can't be dead legs, they just had a long layoff. They celebrated too much last night. Need to get more focus.

No it looks like dead legs to me.

And they are also forcing things instead of letting the game come to them.

#1 seed talk is rubbish IMO. I don't see it.

Illinois is playing like their season depends on this game. Ohio State needs to raise it up a couple of notches to win this game because the Illini aren't going to give this one away.

hell if they lose by 20 here to Illinois I don't even know if a 2 seed is possible.

Hopefully they have a run in them still.

+1

I think Illinois is going to hang on to this one and we're going to get a two seed, which I thought we would get even if we won this tourney.

I'd still rather win this tourney, though. I want to win every game.
