I have no words. None. Can’t wait for BAC’s recap. And BAC, if I may, it should be titled as Game 23 - “Frustratingly Scintillating - this is RU Hoops” I don’t know what this team is, Jekyll and Hyde would like a word, but man. I’m like out of breath. Anyone else insanely happy yet incredibly mad at 14-9? This team could easily be a top 5 seed in the tourney, yet also could be in the CBI. Hahah. Unreal. RRRRRRRRRR
That was a lot of words…

Plane landed 7:25. Zoomed home to catch the 2nd half. Glad I got to see it.
Gutsy win. D down the stretch was top notch.

Contact was long after shot was away. No effect.
Good no call and I would say the same if we were on the short end.

Great defense by Cliff and Caleb. Caleb on Defense and Geo on offense were great. This was a really good win against a good team.

Don’t underestimate the OSU focus on Paul impact on the game! Earlier this year teams were ignoring Paul on offense, now they can’t which opens the game for others.

Left the room when we were down 8 (you know, goofy reverse psychology—but even so OSU had been solid so . . . ) The wife calls me back when it’s tied. Glad I didn’t jinx the end. (But I paid the price—missed McConnel’s block!) Would be a shame if these guys don’t plan in post-season. They are (usually) fun to watch!

Liddell(5-11), Key(4-12) and Young(1-4) were a combine 10-27 from 2.
Team 13-39 33.3% from 2, 10-18 from 3.
That is good post mid range defense, one negative 14 off. rebounds, Ohio St.
Rutgers 20-32 62.5% from 2, 5-15 from 3
We won inside.

One of the great calls in history, I want to kiss you!
Hahahaha I nailed that one. People need to keep that in perspective in game threads. Basketball is just inherently a game of runs

The contact came after the block
You can still foul someone if you get ball first

Caleb did that with 4 fouls to.
That's just another reason it made the play so freaking ballsy. Not worried about fouling out. Doing whatever he can to stop that bucket knowing the game was starting to slip away
