I really felt at halftime of the game in Columbus that it was shaping up to be a statement win, to wallop a top 25 team on their floor. OSU has been really resilient since then.

The clear demarcation point.
I wouldn't say that. We looked like a shorthanded version of the same team against Purdue, then we really played a very good game against Iowa other than the FT line. A few days later we're boat raced by the worst MSU team in 24 years (I have no idea if that's true but it's almost surely some double digit number of years).

Announcers said that OSU has now won 5 straight against top ten teams. But they're hard to figure out especially if you look at some of their head scratching losses. A dangerous tournament team though

Ohio State is very talented and greatly coached. Liddell and Washington are stone cold killers and their other key players like Young, Walker etc do their jobs masterfully. They’re very deep as well.

CJ Walker went to the line late in the game and the announcers said he had made his last 38 free throws and I figured they would jinx him but he hit both, up to 40 in a row and only missed one all year. Forget who went to the line after him but whoever it was, was at 88% on the year. I know we aren't doing much right now but just think if we had that kind of foul shooting. We would be a few games better than we are and maybe wouldn't have collapsed like we have.

Myles Mack, where are you?!

It's like in football where our strongest kicking and punting has coincided with teams that were too bad for it to really matter.

If Rutgers had a front court player like Liddell ,I think the results would have been far different during January.
