Ohio State lost 67-66 to a bad Pitt team. 1-1 in Big 10. Beat Northwestern by 4 and lost to Illinois by 8. 1 point wins over Notre Dame and WVU and 1 point loss to North Carolina. They seem to be a fringe NCAA team based on results thus far

Have no idea, because we don't know what Little League strategy the staff is going to go with tonight

Are they going to force feed the Euros, will Powers and/or Nwuli be chained to the bench, how many TO's does Buchanon get

As others have commented on, 13 games in and...............

OSU has two really good guards (Thornton, Mobley), a big 7-foot center (Tilly), and three really solid/rugged forwards who are 6-6 to 6-8 (Royal, Bynum, Noel) - it’s basically a 6-man rotation, although they use a guard or two off the bench to take some minutes.

Their guards are going to destroy our guards, and their front court guys are going to dominate our front court. They outrebound opponents by almost 6 rebounds per game.

OSU 82
Rutgers 62

My buds who bet on this stuff are all jumping on Ohio State and giving the points.
I guess they HAVE watched some Rutgers games this season.

I’m not high on Julian Sayin.

Ryan Day needs an OC


Ohio State BB is a schizo squad

They can look terrific at times and look like us at times.

I ll say we ll keep game reasonably competitive before OSU breaks away mid 2nd half.

OSU 71 RU 57.


Buchanan gets into a scuffle tonight.

Little league is baseball. More appropriate word would be CYO or Rec for the non basketball crowd.

RU wins, 71-70

Zrno hits 4 threes and Tariq makes free throws to seal it. EO, Grant, and JMike all play well.

Wow, I didn't know Thornton was still playing. Seems like he has been there for a long time.

OSU: 76
RU: 57

Thinking there will be a lot in this range.

Current line has OSU -9.5.
Mine would have been OSU 12.5.
Friend who’s Also season ticket holder asked me to guess the line I said I bet it’s 12.5 and I would say lay the points

its 8.5 now which I cannot believe

over is 152.5 which seems like easy under cause we can’t score

Ohio state 81
Rutgers 62

On another note Michigan is favored by 23 against a ranked USC team, that’s respect

I believe the only spread we covered all season was the UNLV game. There was no spread on the Rider game.
We struggled to put up 65 against Delaware State.
Pike will have them all juiced up to play D tonight.

OSU 67
RU 55

The talent differential, experience differential, and the refs were the difference. But I thought our effort was great and if they can play like that every game. they can win 5 more games.

Nice to see they covered the spread.

I really enjoyed busting on my buds that lost money laying the points in this one.
I just wish I had had the confidence in RU to have told them that they were making a mistake.
I honestly thought they were making the right move.
