How It’ll All Go Down
Ohio State got some much-needed rest this past week after looking like a very banged up and tired bunch against Iowa. That should help with the energy level and fresh legs. However, this Illinois team is a different one than the Buckeyes beat earlier and playing so much better as a team with the inside-outside game. We don’t know whether Ayo Dosunmu will be cleared to play or not for the Illini, but that hasn’t mattered. The Illini are playing great defense, getting contributions from many, and rebounding at a high level right now. Ohio State loses its fourth in a row and continues to search for answers.
Final Score
Illinois 79, Ohio State 73
