Liddell owns the Illini. Classless students chanting obscenities at him all game and he calmly puts up big numbers in yet another win over his home state University. What a stud.
Malaki has so much potential. Seems like he's really hesitant at times, almost like he doesn't want the ball... But he has it and puts it in the hoop anyway. Reminds me a bit of KBD
They gut this one out in a hostile crowd, then go to Maryland and lose to a crappy team that won't even sniff the tournament. This team is talented but still kind of a riddle to me.
This felt like a tournament game; great to get the win. But i hope they learn from it; are you up 12 when Cockburn fouls out and almost lose? Jeez, composure is a thing... (also, adjusting if they go small and/or press)
Branham is really turning up the 2nd half of this season. He can score from anywhere on the floor. EJ is our most complete player but Branham is our best scorer he should be the focal point on offense. I think Branham will probably be our best player since Evan Turner or Jared Sullinger if he continues to develop.
@@mitchellyeater3040 he is the best pure scorer on the team with his size, him and duane from last year are our best scorers that the bucks have had for a long time
@@whatflavor2 pretty much, but even him in college, he wasnt a flat out scorer, he was a mix of that and a facilitator. Branham and Duane are dudes you go to late in the game to get points no matter what IMO
This game was an enigma… thought Illinois would win by 10 or more. Last week,Iowa beats OSU easily Columbus, then go on the road and beat a very good Illinois ball club.??? How? Why? Love college basketball.
Can we take a minute to appreciate how classy that Illinois fanbase acted last night? love to see them representing the BIG10 and upholding the highest standards..
honestly its soo childish...everything Illi game I watch he is alwasy screaming and getting away with it. Any other coach that they dont expect to act like that they throw out. Even after the first T he was still just cussing at refs...shoulda been thrown out way earlier...dude looks like a fool getting mad all the time like that.
if you watched...Illinois played super physical on defense and there could have been wayyy more blocking fouls called on them. Not to mention the refs missed 3 out of bounds calls in the first half all in favor of Illinois.
@@boosha27 it actually wasn't obvious from the angle they showed....there are shots from another angle however that are out there that showed ej body checked fraizer in the air...
Ohio state outplayed us in second half that's why they won. Plus making 26 of 32 free throws was probably the real factor that determined the game that's a lot of free throws I'll leave it at that . 81percent is a damn high percentage on the free throws and to have so many
Ohio state has 6 or 7 guys that can give u 10 plus a nite. And 2 or 3 that can go 15 plus. If they play to their potential they could make a run at an elite 8 possible final 4.
They have 3 or4 solid guards..3 or 4 solid forwards. No True center. They just have a bunch of good players. No superstar. Just 7 or 8 good solid B1G players. I wouldn't be surprised at all if they end up in the elite 8.
@@user-hn1vz7ct5q u throw Sueing in there and they are a legitimate Final Four team. Feel terrible for him. As it stands. They looked like the better team tonight for most of the game. Regardless they can hang with anyone. Already beat Duke. There's not a truly dominant team this year.
....you just showed you lack of intelligence with this statement....I said my girlfriend is an Ohio state fan...me? I simply don't care either way....it's a shame your father didn't pull out in time
hands down the worst officiated game I have ever watched they were literally climbing on Kofi jumping on his back with no foul call and then on the other end they call illinois countless times for standing straight up with their hands up. big ten basketball makes absolutely no sense to be a fan of anymore.
I don’t think it would’ve mattered Ohio State was shooting hot last night. Refs make bad calls about every game unfortunately, Illinois should’ve played better plain and simple. The Buckeyes were the better team last night
refs made bad calls both ways all game...first half it was in favor of illinios second half in favor of osu, unfortunatley the second half is more impactful to a viewer so thats what they remember
@@oldben1800 I was more upset about the first half as an illinois fan personally, I saw Lidell jump on Kofi back with no call and then illinois get called for several straightup defense bs calls. that turned the game around and had osu go on a 12 point run or so to end the half. osu shout double the free throws which also says alot
Wish they would have put in the part where EJ flopped, got and injury timeout and then Ohio state subbed someone else out. That was a real highlight worthy performance.
For real bro, like why these highlights just showing where EJ hit facials on the Illinois players all game. I’m tired of seeing him stuff Kofi and the rest of the Illini, let’s see the real highlights…

EJ is a monster.
EJ Liddell is so u underrated and Malaki is a star in the making.
Malaki has so much potential. Seems like he's really hesitant at times, almost like he doesn't want the ball... But he has it and puts it in the hoop anyway. Reminds me a bit of KBD
lidell is so frustrating to guard. those elbow hop step and post fades go to the bottom of the net every time
It’s very impressive

Go Bucks! Illinois is a really good team. Great game.
Well we aren't a good team i thought we was but no. If we where really good we cant lose these games congratulations on the win
@@rosepierce9744 relax think about our progress the past 3 years
Illinois has the pieces to be very good but I'm not sure they're very well coaches.
What a game buckeye s. This should be great momentum down the stretch.

@@oldben1800 DLo averaged a lot more points than them as a true freshman.
That's why the official's ran off the court at the end of the game because they were so bad 😞
How Illinois was being very physical with flagrant mostly ever thing they called was good.
The call in which Underwood got ejected for arguing was an easy call; blatant moving screen in which Hawkins used his shoulder in doing so.
@@seibert0926 so biased hahah
@@seibert0926 Ohio state got ghost call fouls on kofi all game

I would have had Plummer take the last shot
Ej OWNS Kofi!!!

The refs won OSU the game
that iowa win for them was not "easy" go back and watch how that game broke down
Go bucks!!
Another great win Buckeyes... LETS GO!!!
Looks like Illinois is ranked quite a bit higher than they deserve.
Go Bucks!!!!

Coach acts like a wild beast

Refs sold this whole game
Go Illinois
All these people crying about refs haven't watched any Buckeye games, obviously. We got absolutely RAILED by refs in the UG game, among many others.
Underwood can’t coach. Too stubborn
The worst officiated game I have ever seen in college basketball
Cry me a river 😂
Agreed
🧂
It seems a bit absurd for Kofi to foul out seeing how much he got hacked. However, Liddell and Branham won that game.
Never seen a more factual statement
Frazier gets hip checked hard on that last drive to the basket. Of course no call haha. Typical.
Quit crying

Maybe but we don’t match up well against teams with elite big men, we got fortunate that Kofi didn’t have a great night.
We’re not even healthy

Actually Kofi has rarely had good games against us.
The crying Illini. You lost at home as 7 point favorites lol so much crying about EJ and the refs
Illinois vs refs yet again
When your girlfriend is a rabid ohio state fan and is amazed at how bad the calls were by the officials...
Go cry to your mama

Exactly what I'm saying

It was allowed and what do you mean he flipped he didn’t even fall he passed the ball and grabbed his knee
Didn't see the phantom foul called when Illinois jacked a three. Or when Underwood lost his sh.
For real bro, like why these highlights just showing where EJ hit facials on the Illinois players all game. I’m tired of seeing him stuff Kofi and the rest of the Illini, let’s see the real highlights…
