  Northwestern scares me... not sure what type of road team they are but they're scary good at Welsh-Ryan... do we have to make a trip there?
  
  I guess things aren't all doom and gloom since we're back to .500 in the league but we still have a long way to climb with key games left against Michigan State, Minnesota, and others...

  I don't believe OSU travels to Northwestern this season.
  
  In any event, this should be a much closer game than people (who don't understand how much Northwestern has improved) think.
• burt07

  I think the score will be relatively close but it should be clear that OSU dominated the game. OSU has tended to get suckered into the slowdown Northwestern style so I definitely won't be surprised by a low scoring game. I think it should be similar to the Wisconsin game, something like 61-53.
• tiger1990

  Northwestern has picked up the tempo this year. I believe they're at least in the Top 5 in the nation in assists, and have an outstanding PG. OSU defensively will struggle mightily against the Carmody-Princeton offense, but I don't think anyone on Northwestern can matchup one-on-one with Evan Turner. Should be a great game...

  OSU by 10

  Going with a Bucks by 10.....I just think the Bucks got there shit together and are going to roll some wins off here in a row....
• darbypitcher22

  

  Go Bucks! Need to get on a roll here and get back in the race.
  
  The next five games look like this:
  
  1/23 @ West Virginia
  1/27 @ Iowa
  1/31 Minnesota
  2/3 Penn State
  2/7 Iowa
  
  I like our chances to take 2 from Iowa and beat Penn State and I'd like to think we beat Minny in the return game.

  The line on this game is 12 1/2, I think that is too many, Nothwestern is a good shooting team and very disciplined. I think the Bucks win but it will be less than 10 points. Turner is too athletic for Northwestern to handle.
• centralbucksfan

  I think OSU rolls in this game by 10+ since its at home. OSU just finished handling a better Wisky team, just as disciplined and better coached. And that with Turner possibly playing his worst game in a LONG while. I highly doubt we will see Turner struggle in back to back games. I think he goes off tonite. Just hope OSU is NOT overlooking NW heading into a big OCC game with WV.

  Doesn't look to be a big crowd on hand tonight. This is about as good as they have played on both ends of the court in a while.
• karen lotz

  

  And I love Gus Johnson on the call. The noises he makes on plays like Buford's two baseline dunks are awesome.

  NW 17
  HALFTIME.
  
  Ass whoopin imo
• thedynasty1998

  

  Will the announcers please quit saying, "Evan Turner is well on his way to another triple double" when he only had 3 assists at the half. They just made another comment about how he is closing in on it and he has 4 assists.
  
  Not that he won't get there, but quit talking about it.
• devil1197

  Yeah, he'll get the rebounds but getting 6 assists will be hard imo.
• thedynasty1998

  

  He might get it, but it shouldn't be talked about.
  
  And I just had to listen to the announcer say that Diebler reminded him of Craig Ehlo, I threw up a little in my mouth.
• devil1197

  He adds two more quickly to get 12-8-6
