  Sorry Vball..not buying into the youth thing either. Sully and Craft both have high bball IQ. Some others I would question. But they weren't in late in game. I don't think youth had anything to do with OSU losing lead. There were a number of factors. But I am not overly concerned yet.

  Not trying to use it as an excuse, cbf, just pointing out that we do have some inexperience on our team, at least in playing in Big Ten conference games. And as far as being concerned, there's no reason to be--at all. We're going to lose a couple of games before the dance, and Coach Matta will use these as teaching tools. We've got ourselves an exciting team, one that's not only fun to watch, but one that will be considered a serious player come March...GO BUCKS!!!!

  Which games referring to? Were you awake on Sat when like 7/8 ranked teams went down?

  Again, I ask which games you are referring to?

  . Road game? LOL Sorry, lame

  Sorry, I think winning road games are a little tougher than winning at home. I'm surprised you scoff at the notion.

  Great game. Minny will be no easy out in any tourney. I didn't know they were as athletic as they were. Congrats to the Bucks though.

  You mean they aren't going to go undefeated?? I'm not buying it!

  Overall though, this game was exactly the reason why a weak OOC schedule hurts you. Nobody wanted to admit that it mattered but good teams don't just die when they are down like the pathetic OOC teams did. Little too close for comfort I'm sure for OSU fans.

  
  Michigan State?????????????

  This. I really don't see any other way to look at it lol? How is it not complacency and lacking the instinct to finish teams off?

  Couldn't even begin to describe MSU's rough stretch. But its not like MSU was winning their games in OOC.

  Hahaha settle down bro. It's the Big 10! I swear basically every game turns into a dogfight...it's what makes it so damn exciting. For real I'm a little worried before every conference game. It's just an absolute grind and also no one thought Minnesota would just roll over
