AWW$HEEET Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Big 10 is better than the ACC (as has been proven the last few years in the Big 10-ACC challenge) now and not too far behind the Big East (especially considering the Big East has about 436 teams). But yeah, with the way CBB is set up, most people just don't care too much until March. OSU does play Nebrasketball tonight at 6:30 though. Need to thrash them to bounce back from that ugly Indiana loss. Not ugly score-wise but lots of bad performances. They'll slaughter Indiana by 15+ in a couple weeks here at home. Yeah, they looked like shit. I was there in Bloomington to witness that travesty of a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stangsn95gt Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Because the B1G is not the Big East or ACC, or Kentucky (rest of the SEC really doesnt matter)... so no one around columbus cares about basketball I've watched all but one OSU game but don't watch to many other games till the tournament.

stangsn95gt Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Seems like OSU has been making stupid passing mistakes the last few games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturg1647545502 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK how could we not shut down Paul?! Give up 43 points to one player and lose by 5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bicranium Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Love how players just randomly have the best games of their entire lives against OSU. E'twaun Moore and Jordan Taylor last season and now Brandon Paul... who the fuck is Brandon Paul? Jesus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJ Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 This team has glaring issues, and they start and end with William Buford. Craft has also regressed on offense, throwing the ball away on STUPID passes too many times per game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BStowers023 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 It's clear we are not the team we thought we were. As fans we got blinded by the duke blowout and thought we were actually that good....We might finish 3rd in the Big Ten this year, I would consider us the most overrated team in the country right now. If we played the NCAA tournament in value city arena we would easily win it all, for some reason we really have never played well on the road.

The team just has not improved since the end of November. Buford has regressed. Craft has regressed. No one is stepping up to be the leader this team needs. The only Sr shits down his leg when the pressure is put on him. Buford and Craft have been liabilities at the end of these last 2 losses with bad shots and turning the ball over. They also have no one who can shoot the damn ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we're in a lot of trouble come tournament time unless we can figure it out. I can't believe at one point this season I actually thought this team was better than last years team :dumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bicranium Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Craft's poor play against Indiana was very surprising. Buford's for the last few games... not so much. Disappointing but not surprising. Definitely came to the realization last night that this team just isn't as good as everyone thought. Still have a good bit of time to try and get to there before March though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuicedH22 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Anyone watch Providence lay the smack down on UL? and my Bearcats pulled out a good win against #11 Georgetown the other night, but still waaaaaay back in the rankings thanks to 2 bad losses...

BStowers023 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 After doing a quick review of the top Big Ten teams, this is how I see it folding out. 1) Michigan State 24-5 / 14-3 2) Indiana 25-5 / 13-4 3) Michigan 23-5 / 13-4 4) Ohio State 24-6 / 12-5 5) Wisconsin 22-8 / 11-6 6) Illinois 22-8 / 11-6 7) Purdue 20-10 / 10-7 Extremely tough conference this year, We could have 4 teams finish in the top 12 I think.

LJ Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Diebler's presence on the 3pt line both offensively and defensively is a glaring hole this year. Lighty was definitely the leader of the team last year as well. Last year I wouldn't say there was a specific "go to guy" at the end of games. They were such a cohesive team that kind of had that killer instinct to just go to whoever was hot or open for that final shot. Buford just does not have that leadership in him, and thinks that him shooting 8 million shots no matter what is him leading. The final shot in the Indiana game is probably the biggest example of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bicranium Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 That 3 against Indiana was awful coming from a SENIOR. You're down 2 and you have Jared Sullinger and Zeller is already fouled out. Get the ball into your big man and let him tie the game and maybe even get a 3-point play for the lead. Was just an atrocious decision. I was stunned when it happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Matta said that this team lacks leadership and maturity, I don't think we have a chance past the sweet 16 if we can even make it past the 2nd round this year. I think we are looking at a 3 seed so we will play a top caliber small conference school that could possibly shoot the ball well and even beat us in the first round. I know I'm looking way forward but I like to predict the future :fa: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaddyBuiltRacing Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 I don't think Sullinger is as good this year as he was last year. I said this earlier that the weight loss is allowing him to get pushed around down under, not to mention he is a tweener. OSU is playing a 6'9 guy at center! It might work in the B10, but come tourney time when they face 7 footers (ala Kentucky) he will get worked on. The loss of Diebler is huge!! I agree that this team isn't as good as everyone thought they would be, hopefully they get hot in March Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
