B1G conference play in full swing

Since starting the conference 4-1, Illinois has slid to 6-5 and are down at half to Ohio State.

During their last 6 games (plus the first half against Ohio State) Illinois is 51/204 from 3 for 24.8% and are now the worst 3pt shooting team in the B1G.
They are one of the worst 3 point shooting teams in the nation, period. Rated in the 300s. lol

Kind of odd. They have proven shooters everywhere but since B1G play started no one can make a shot.

I watched some of that OSU game today. Illinois was getting great looks but just bricking all of them. When they finally gave up and started forcing the issue in the paint, they took control of the game.

In Champaign is going to be a tough gig for us, I think. Their positional size is going to be hard to overcome. They are #1 in the nation rebounding the ball.
 
Oregon is crazy...cannot win at home..great on road.
Wish the Hawks played put there in Oregon..at home we got no shot.
 
League title could come down to which top teams have to go to L.A. vs to Pac-nw on Western swing.
MSU just found out that the Pac-nw is the obvious choice over L.A.
 
Michigan 80 - Oregon 76 in Ann Arbor.
Rutgers 35 - Illinois 29 with 37 seconds left 1st half in NJ.
Nebraska at Washington later.
 
illanoy loses again.
At one point I thought they'd challenge for the top of the league.
Now they're looking more like an 8-9 seed.

Yes, that mono bug that knocked their big man out really killed their momentum. He finally returned last nite but Harper came back for RU and looked the part of top ten draftees with 28 pts
Both these teams are getting healthy just in time to battle the Hawkeyes.
 
Nebraska beat Washington. They also beat Oregon & Illinois prior. After being 2-7 in conference play, now they're literally back in the NCAA Tournament. Meanwhile, our program is tanking. Really really unfortunate.
 
Reports out saying Woodson is done at Indiana.

I'd expect boosters to attempt throwing the bag at a TJ Otz, Nate Oats, Tommy Lloyd, or Scott Drew type hire.
 
USC takes down a feisty NW by shooting a hot 62+% from field.
NW hung around on the strength of a hot-shooting frosh who had 15 pts in 2nd half. ...a guy I have not seen but looked good.
NW gets guards...fran should get some.
 
Breidenbach of Washington.

Wis is really well-constructed roster-wise to make good run in tourney.
Minny and UW making a play to get out of bottom 3 with road wins.
Pressure on Hawks increases.
Must beat uwash next week.
