    Rims unkind both ways as well.

    I really am liking this small lineup. Ross and Thomas, and Thompson on the floor really give this team an identity and seem to up things up in the middle

    We have got to stop switching on pick and rolls, we are getting killed off the dribble because of it and they are in better rebounding position because of it, getting killed on the offensive backboard.

    After ISU gets the offensive board and passes is out....OSU seems like they aren't even trying to get out to contest it.

    Yeah, there have definitely been a few where the ISU player just stood there wide open and took a shot and every OSU player is just standing around

    Yuck....Babb rolled it pretty good.
  • wildcats20
    Lol that was awful

    Scott didn't learn from the Michigan State game, apparently.

    That was a block.

    Our D and rebounding have to be much better in the second half if we are going to win, too lackadaisical.
  • LJ
    Need to get about a 12 pt lead and keep it in order to win this game. The way ISU is rebounding and hitting 3's, if it is this back and forth at the end, ISU will probably win.

    Rebounding is atrocious, but Matta will get it straightened out. Looking for a big half from Q.


    edit: getting outrebounded 23 (8 off.) to 12 (2 off.), and that ain't gonna' cut it

    Lazy is a great word to describe it.

    That was a terrible charge call.

    OSU may have benefitted a few points from sketchy calls.....but not nearly enough to be noteworthy....if they get a few calls late and win a tight one....bitch away.

    OSU will win by 11+....refs not a factor

    On the floor shot his foot was obscured, but the top down shot he was definitely moving.

    I feel like the refs are giving the benefit to certain things. Like that charge call, Thomas's body was square and the offensive player just straight up launched into him. Refs think "ok cool, lets just call a charge rather than figure out the right call"

    Charles knows as much about the teams left as he does a good golf swing.

    Both of those teams have the ability to win.

    Yeah he's done.

    He knows of Indiana because of the yearlong hype
    He knows of Michigan because of Hardaway Jr.

    Otherwise he kinda just talks

    Agree. Vball just doesn't think UM fans are allowed to watch OSU play I guess.

    WTF is Amir even doing in the game?

    If he wouldn't have stepped to the side right before contact it would have been the right call.
