    You are saving possession by throwing it off an opposing player.
    Not quite.

    Live ball/Dead ball.

    You overreact. You do the same w/ the Phillies..whenever they lose you're all like "they're not gonna win anything!!"

    You did it against MSU..it's a huge overreaction on your part every time.

    It's okay, some fans are like that

    I really think dakich has something against Thomas. We all know he sucks of d. But he talks about it as much as possible.

    Wwwhat???

    This has probably been talked about...but why did Tirico take over for Dave O'Brien on B1G games?
  • Midstate01
    Foul someone else!!

    He signed on when it looked like the NBA was going to be out of work. I dont know if it will last into next year when Tirico will probably sign on for a full set of NBA games.

    That was nasty, by Rodney Williams. Too bad it was 100% clean.

    Sorry, but I'm with Dakich here. As bad as I thought Diebler was on defense last year, Thomas makes him look like Craft when it comes to defense--he's horrendous. Also, I've noticed over the last few games he's been doing a lot of finger pointing and making faces after he gets burnt, like it's somebody else's fault.

    I can't put my finger on it, but last night the team looked sloppy and out of synch--and they still won by 10. I think Sully and Craft played consistently, and Buford showed he can still score, but Smith and Thomas need to get to their early season level of play, and we have to have more production out of Ravenel (personally I think we should play Amir Williams ahead of him), if we're going to make a deep run in the tourney. Right now the Bucks look like a Sweet Sixteen team at best.

    I highly agree with playing Williams over Ravenel. I just fail to see what kind of advantage Ravenel adds over Williams.

    Apparently LaQuinton Ross is not very happy to say the least about his playing time and took his frustrations out on Twitter after the game (since been deleted). Can't say I blame him given OSU's lack of a consistent 3 point threat.

    Ross looks completely lost whenever he is on the floor.

    Sloppy? They went on the road, played a decent team, went on a 20-0 run, won by double digits and withheld multiple runs by Minny? Sorry, I thought last nite they were pretty good overall. Bench came in and played well. Buford hit multiple big shots to stop runs. Craft had 6 steels. Sully had 20+.
    Coming off the MSU debacle, this was a good solid win on the road.

    My biggest gripe is Thomas. His defense is pathetic right now. He was playing better D in beginning of year. Not sure whats in his head. Hearing rumors of him to NBA. Who knows. But right now, his head is elsewhere.

    Well, he has no one to blame but himself for putting himself in the position he is in currently. I knew when he missed all that time he wouldn't see the floor. He isn't ready and its way to late to throw him in the mix. Some of these guys have to know, when you come to a big time place, you are competing with many other very good players. Its not going to be handed to you.

    It has to be frustrating as a bench guy for OSU. Matta has never had a flow to his substitutions, and you may play 20 minutes one night, and not play again for 3-4 games. Right now, I think the missing piece to OSU is having that guy that can come in the game and get points. Maybe Ross is the guy that can do that.

    Yes, sloppy. Any win on the road in the B1G is a good win, and Minny is usually a solid team--but not last night. Too many peaks and valleys by the Buckeyes last night IMO, at least for a team that has the potential to go deep into the tourney. As I stated in my post, Craft & Sully played good, and Buford did indeed hit some shots--I guess I'm just looking for more consistency--maybe my expectations are too high?
