Ohio State def. Indiana, 85-67

• Leonardo

  

  Big 10 opener for the Buckeyes, with a trip to Bloomington on New Year's Eve.
  
  Indiana is coming off a Big 10 opener loss to Penn State, while the Buckeyes have rolled relatively through their out-of-conference schedule.

  IU will come out fired up, but I don't think it'll matter.
  
  I'll say OSU 80 - IU 62
• Laley23

  

  This is going to be, unfortunately, ugly.
  
  The only positive IU has is OSU has shot pretty poorly recently at Assembly Hall. But their defense has been so bad recently, it wont matter.
• centralbucksfan

  Don't think it will be as big a blow out as some think. Assembly Hall has never been kind to OSU. I'll say OSU by 15.

  Hoping for a blowout and awkward handshake.

  LOL

  I think OSU will win by around 10-15, but we'll see. Always nervous going into Assembly Hall.
  
  But, as others have said, i'll be hoping for a blowout just to see how Crean handles it.
• Laley23

  

  The word is that Matta was doing negative recruiting (against IU as opposed to for OSU) when Crean was mad last year, not because of anything on the court.
  
  My advice to Crean....pull your dick out of your vagina and quit being a bitch.

  If you want coaches to stop telling recruits that you suck, then stop sucking. Amen.

  So true^

  I agree. Everyone does negative recruiting. Crean was just pissed, because it was working incredibly well against him and there was nothing he could do about it. He inherited a terrible team and losing out on recruits because of Kelvin Sampson had to be very frustrating for him. I dont blame him for being frustrated, but he was a total pussy about the situation.

  Ill be at this game. Will be positioned across from the OSU bench area (cameras shoot the benches however) in the first few rows. Wearing a coat and tie for NYE but will have my Script Indiana warm-up on. Probably acting like a drunken fool, pending the ND-Miami game before-hand lol.

  Can't find this one. I thought it was on ESPN.

  OSU hoops...f'n NASTY!
• Big Gain

  Come on Crean....Don't be chicken, play a man defense.
• osu45804

  

  Buford 5-5 w/ 13 points early
• centralbucksfan

  Wow, Buford comes out absolutely on fire! Diebler with a couple good looks. And Sullinger hasn't even got going yet. Great start for the Bucks!
• osu45804

  

  Officials sure like using their whistles ... IU in the bonus w/ 7 minutes left in the half .. Lighty & Buford both with 2 fouls..... Ed Hightower is terrible
• centralbucksfan

  Freaking Ed Hightower doing the game...officials calling everything on OSU.
• centralbucksfan

  Since Matta got on Hightower...OSU getting some calls now. Pretty physical game. IU tries to make it ugly..only chance they have really. OSU gotta knock down some FT's..
