  Can you post updates? I'm gonna try to get it on the radio, but I'm in a brick building and don't get very good reception.

  12 noon tipoff, not 11am.
  
  If OSU plays half as well as they have the past couple of games, they should win this game by at least 15pts. Its all going to come down to defense. OSU cannot let NW sit out and run the clock down on every possession, and shorten the game. They have to get out, pressure, create turnovers and get some points off of those. Like to see them get up early so NW can't dictate the tempo so much. Make them play catchup.

  Last night on the big ten finale, they said that the Bucks/Wildcats game was tied for the nations lowest possessions between both teams at 49 possessions each. Thats every D I game all season. They tied with Pitt/ND maybe, I remember it was Pitt for sure. The Buckeyes cannot let this happen, they must force tempo. Should be a W, Lets Go Bucks!

  we need a diversion from all the crap going on this week, and a good convincing W would be just what the doctor ordered...GO BUCKS!!!

  Will be interesting to see if OSU can get NW to play at a faster pace. The lower it goes, obviously the Cats will be in it. I would be willing to bet OSU +9. That is a ton of points for a game with potential for such a low score.
  
  67-55

  "And here come the Ohio State Buckeyes! And you know that, with the controversy now surrounding their football program, that their fans are really hoping for a memorable tournament run in order to take their minds off the turmoil."
  
  Eagerly waiting to see how close this is to any actual comment made!

  What's the over/under on:
  
  *Times they mention that David Lighty is the winningest player in OSU history
  *Times they show that Miley Cyrus song clip of Sullinger/Craft/Diebler
  *Times they mention Sullinger's ever-growing afro
