I thought we'd want to see tOSU play NW to get a good game.  Penn State's still holding their own early in the 2nd half; they've pushed their lead to 10, 35-25.

 

Well, this Penn St team is capable of pulling off the big game upset as we know. I'm really not sure right now who I want to win though, being a huge Big 10 fan, I think OSU getting a possible 1 seed would be huge, but then again, it takes out one more team that could beat Illinois. We got to handle the Spartans first I suppose, which will be tough. How do you beat an Izzo coached team 3 times in the same season. Uggg

 

Go Illini!

How? Have Davis, Ager, and Brown play sloppy both mentally and physically, rendering Izzo irrelevant.

OSU's shooting 4-21 from 3 pt range

tOSU takes their first lead at 5:45 left in the game, 50-49.

Penn State likes missing from close range.

Am I the only one annoyed when people refer to OSU as "the" Ohio State Univesity or tOSU?

No

I just think it's funny to say.

Blows for Penn State. They had the lead all but 15 minutes of the game, but they're going home. tOSU will play the winner of the next game between IU and Wiscy.

 

Final score of 63-56.

I'm glad Ohio State won. If Illinois is fortunate enough to reach the final, I want another shot at them.

Ron Lewis saved OSU today.

That and the fact that Penn State s*** the bed and stopped running offense once they built the lead to 12.

IU was up 10-2 early. Wisky went on a 15-0 run to make it 17-10.

IU scored 5 points in the last 13 minutes of the half. 5 points.

 

19-15 Wisky at half time. This game is absolutely brutal. Wow.

Somewhere, Dick Bennett is smiling. You'd swear they got rid of the shot clock for this game.

Not one assist for either team the entire half. Good stuff.

Has that ever happened before in any D1 game? That is so amazing. Thats got to be a first in the B10 conference at least.

Ron Lewis saved OSU today.

he probably should have been sixth-man of the year in the league.

IU is going to win this one and advance to take on OSU tomorrow.

What a difference a half makes.

 

Wilmont, Strickland and Killingsworth all played great in the 2nd half.

 

Should be a good game against OSU tomorrow.

Indiana can frustrate you soo much. They went 9+ scoreless minutes in the first half today and still were only down four!

 

They can look so good one minute and 5 seconds later look like they have never ever played the game before. I'll take today's win, but it wasn't pretty.

Didnt get to see the game, but the box score makes it appear that Wisconsin couldnt shoot at all, they made like what 2 3 pointers and still were in the game?

 

I had a feeling that they might lose, Indiana in Indiana is always rough.

Kammron Taylor didn't do s***, that's what hurt a lot.

First half was brutal, but you can basically throw that out the window being that it was a push and the first action both teams saw in a week.

 

The offense definitely turned it on in the 2nd half. I was really pleased to see that. Killingsworth has been playing real smart ball in this winning streak; 20 and 12 for him on the day. And Strick's been Mr. Consistent during this stretch, hitting another 16.

 

We get another crack at tOSU tomorrow in the game at 4 on CBS. Should be interesting, we just snuck by him at home earlier in conference play. We've got a bit of a home court advantage playing in Conseco, and the teams both play a real similar style of game. Should be fun.

Yeah it appears Gullickson had a really nice game though, and Ill take the loss if it means come tournament time Gullickson is a viable player.

 

Ray Nixon though shot terribly, from the ESPN updates I think the only shot he made was a dunk, lol.

 

Anyways with a bunch of other good teams losing in their tournaments, the loss doesnt hurt that bad. Guessing Wisconsin can be anywhere from a 5 to 8 seed.
