Ohio State @ Wisconsin 2pm

• centralbucksfan

  I think the Bucks are in for a long day. Wisky is tough place to win. Without Turner, I just don't have much confidence in OSU winning on the road. 60-52 Wisky
• Laley23

  

  I think it will be close, because Wisky TYPICALLY doenst blow teams away. If OSU can hit some 3s late (last 10 minutes of game) they will have a chance. I just doubt they can do that with enough effectiveness. Ill say:
  
  Wisconsin - 73
  Ohio State - 64

  Never seem to be able to beat the Badgers at the Kohl Center. Hopefully Im wrong but I just dont see OSU winning this one either.
  I cant believe Jason Bohannon and Trevon Hughes are still at Wisconsin. Seems like they been there forever!

  Just getting good look 3's is not easy for OSU without Turner. Diebler has rarely had any good looks, nor as Buford since Turner has been out.
  Not making excuses, but if you have watched, those open 3's when Turner was playing, are now very contested.

  Any news on how close Turner is to returning?
• devil1197

  OSU will need Lighty to continue to carry a heavy load offensively.
  
  Someone needs to step up in creating some shots for Diebler. He isn't getting the looks that needs since Turner has been hurt. Need better screening and drives by Lighty/Buford.
  
  Best offense without Turner is playing solid defense and creating turnovers.

  Bo Ryan probably does one of the best jobs of working with what he has to keep his team competitive regardless of who they're going up against. They're especially tough at home. A buck win in Madison without Turner would be an unexpected surprise.
  
  The open looks for threes would help Diebler but Buford not so much, he's been off all season thus far. In the end I don't think it will matter, Bucks drop this one.

  Trevon Hughes > Ohio State right now.

  Wisky 5/7 from the 3pt line .... Buckeyes down 13

  This game is very ugly to watch
• thedynasty1998

  

  I don't think anyone realistically expected OSU to win this game.
  
  OSU sure doesn't look too good right now, but maybe they can cut it to 10 at half.

  Off topic, but am I the only one that thinks Eddie Hightower is the worst ref in college basketball?
• ytownfootball

  

  Bucks turn it up a notch and cut lead to 9...good D
• karen lotz

  

  Signs of life from the buckeyes in the closing minutes. You had to figure Wisconsin would cool off a little bit at some point and OSU has turned it up on defense. OSU should be able to score enough to get all the way back in the game, just need to continue the work on the defensive end.

  Buckeyes down 9 at the half 34-25

  boy do we suck.
• charliehustle14

  Am I seeing things or does Wisconsin get away with a lot of moving screens?
• Mulva

  

  Diebler is worthless out there without Turner. With Lauderdale on the court too we might as well be playing 3 on 5 offensively.
• osu45804

  

  Dude for Wisconsin has a 1980's high top fade lol
• charliehustle14

  I wanna see how many tampons I can shove into Bo Ryan's mouth every time his jaw drops when a call goes against his team.
• Fab1b

  

  Awful bball by the Bucks today!
• osu45804

  

  And the route is on.....
• centralbucksfan

  Not surprising. Some people just don't realize how good Turner is and what he does for the team besides just scoring and rebounding. Not only is Turner the best player on OSU, one of the best in the country, he is also the OSU PG. Right now, OSU basically has NO PG on top of missing their best player. Not a good combo. OSU could have lost anyone else and survived. They won't survive without Turner.
  OSU is playing 4 of their first 5 big ten games on the road...they will be 1-4 without Turner IMO.
• ytownfootball

  

  Easily 1-4, my fear is that Turner doesn't return in time to keep an NCAA berth a possibility. Bucks could lose a lot of games at home too and be staring down a NIT berth with Turner back in the line-up late. That would just suck. I just hope they can pull enough w's to keep in the tourney hunt.
