Ohio State & Rutgers will both score the ball.

This game won't change anyone's mind.

Just remember you are going to see an Ohio St team that is coming off a blasting by IU on the road and faces a terrific Maryland team on the road this Saturday. A Maryland team that is going to be focused after losing their first league game last night in Ann Arbor.

That means there will be extra motivation and extra focus for Ohio St tonight playing at home to not lose this game to Rutgers knowing full well a loss to RU could mean a 3 game losing streak since they will have a difficult time beating Maryland in College Park on Saturday no matter what happens tonight.

That could spell trouble for RU.

I think OSU works on some new things and treats this like the scrimmage it is. That being said, we still lose by 30.

actually I expect the opposite, psyche somewhat damaged by Indiana loss, they go back to basics and its wont get totally out of hand..like plus 30. Also OSU is not a good shooting team. I expect somewhat of a lower scoring game tonight. Its funny where fans now think a loss in the 20-25 range might not be all that bad but that's where we are right now

Well OSU played the 2nd half with the focus I thought they were going to have the whole game.

well I was wrong but I didn't think RU would try to push the tempo..bad move

I think OSU is a top 8 Big 10 team this year that will make the dance but definitely not top 5 in league, one of those one and done in tourney

And now you why OSU came out in the 2nd half the way they did.

They are getting blitzed off the floor today against Maryland. No way OSU could afford to lose the RU game.
