  pretty much sums it up. There were a couple of possessions where Diebler stood in the same spot, 10 feet behind the 3 point line for the entire possession. I guess he did find himself open there so he just camped out.

  Yeah exactly. OSU needs to come out calm and run the half court O. Slow the game down.
• vball10set

  even though we're only down by 1, it seems we're down by 10...it'd be nice to come out and open up the half with a nice run--GO BUCKS!!!

  holy crap, bench pts 2-22 , I can't see Illinois keeping that up, so OSU should pull away.
• Tiger2003

  

  Great Flop.
• adog

  WTF was that 3 shot for
• Tiger2003

  

  OSU needs to run the offense.
• adog

  Sad to say but it looks like we need Aaron back in there already....
• Tiger2003

  

  Nice flop again Tisdale.
• Tiger2003

  

  Illinois getting to many 2nd chances. Buford needs to take good shots.
• se-alum

  

  Why do we refuse to make Tisdale go left??
• Laley23

  

  McCamey is way off right now, which probably means he is going to hit a huge shot under a minute to go.
• Tiger2003

  

  It's pretty OSU isnt making the shots Illinois is making them.

  What were you saying?

  I've never seen so many missed layups
• Tiger2003

  

  Wow. All over Sullys back.
• adog

  wow....gotta get a stop on this run...
• Tiger2003

  

  The refs are horrible Karen Idc what you say. He wasnt even touched.
• burt07

  Lighty and Buford have been absolute garbage. Combined 4-17, leaving their guys, and terrible fouls. Not going to get it done when they're in that mode.
• osu45804

  

  Wow okay.... Lighty didn't do shit .... whatever

  Yep. Not good when Craft misses that lay up with bad court balance. Leads to the 3 point play opportunity.

  Gotta box someone out to get a foul, since over the back is just a made-up fans plea for a foul. Both players just jump, the 7 footer is going to get the ball before the 6-8 kid.
• Tiger2003

  

  The size factor is playing huge is this game as well. Sully is the only Buckeye who has showed up.
• vball10set

  Lighty is playing awful, and Buford isn't far behind....we need to get a couple of stops and hit some three balls, and as I said above, Diebler HAS to work harder to get himself open!!!!

  That was a bad call, but the refs are the least of OSU worries right now. They arent playing smart on offense (Sully needs the ball 100% of the possessions) and they are not playing transition defense worth a lick.
