Ohio State Basketball
Re: Ohio State Basketball
They play good defense but have no true NBA scoring on the offense. I think everyone realized that sooner or later this would be an issue. They have streaky shooters at best. Great when they are red hot, not so good when they need a go to player who can offensively take over a game. They should still have a great year.

Yep I agree, one of the best defenses in the country. Paint presence will be an issue all year long. I still think we're sweet 16 material though.Badboy wrote:They play good defense but have no true NBA scoring on the offense. I think everyone realized that sooner or later this would be an issue.

I'm looking for the parachute Oaf if we have another clunker like this.I was feeling good after that tough battle with Sparty.
Re: Ohio State Basketball
Big Ten is brutal, they don't have the physical inside game. Williams has to get much stronger, anyway Turner becomes a Buckeye?
Re: Ohio State Basketball
Gone are the Oden's and Sullengers who could take over the game down low. Hell Craft is a great defensive player, but he even struggles from the free throw line.
OSU is very athletic but they just dont have the physical scorer/rebounder in the paint. They are very scrappy and I think they'll find a way to scratch out some tough wins.
Obviously Matta is one of the best in the business...but one has to wonder why he has failed to bring in a true scorer to compliment his tenacious defenses. Deshawn Thomas was an above average scorer but there really hasnt been an offensive threat since Sully.

Izzo had a few "off" teams too. Not their best team but they'll have better years.

They have a good ball team, weak at the post, good D!!! good guard play , just got to get there head out of there a$$!!! Final 4 team.
Re: Ohio State Basketball
Another pukey performance! Will the Bucks turn it around at the end of the year like they have the last few? When was the last time they were unranked? Got a feeling they are headed down that road again 

Re: Ohio State Basketball
Buckeyes are looking terrible. Shows how strong the Big Ten is. Bucks have no post game whatsoever and can't throw the ball in the ocean. At least make your FT's.

Re: Ohio State Basketball
The Big Ten is such a great basketball conference right now. Arguably the best in the country. I hope it stays that way for many years.
Sucks that the Bucks have dropped 3 straight, but there really aren't many easy games in the conference as stacked as it is!

Re: Ohio State Basketball
The Bucks extremely weak non-conference schedule prolly didn't help any to prepare them for conference play.

Re: Ohio State Basketball
Play a cupcake non league schedule
Refuse to use the inside game you have
No real consistent outside threat
A point guard who can not shoot
Play in the best conference in basketball and this will lead to losing streaks in said conference
