Ohio vs. Michigan open thread, 1:53 tip-off
Good job with GRIII putting his knee into Craft after the foul had already been called - no chance of a charge at that point. Should have put his foot into his sternum.
ROMAN HELMET
OSU offense actually not playing poorly by their standards. If we ever cool off, we'll have our work cut out for us. They came to play today, we've just been better so far.
How is that not a foul? GR3 got racked on the arm.
and it ABSOLUTELY DOESN'T DO HIM AND HIS TEAM AN F'N BIT OF GOOD!
LOVE IT!!!
Ohio is shooting better than normal and still can't keep up. In the second half those 3's will turn into bricks.
Who was that last foul on Della Valle?
The Buckeyes cannot keep up the percentage of threes they are hitting.
So OSU goes 1-14 from 3 against Purdue, 4-18 against Nebraska, and now already 4-7 against us? C'mon statistics, I believe in you, please regress to mean.
Fucking stupid turnovers!
basically put GRIII right into a trap from the get-go
Also, please pass the ball before the double team comes.
why dont teams have any kind of inbounds play against osu? packing everyone on the baseline doesnt seem like that great of an idea
I knew it wouldn't take someone long.
Horford is such a huge step down from Morgan recently. Also we are the worst baseline inbounding team in the country.
A little bit. But I've watched Michigan all season and they have consistently struggled to get the ball in. Watching ISU yesterday that have a safe play anytime their initial action doesn't develop on a baseline inbound. Georges Niang seals his man and they get it to him high and away from the defender. He's a strong player, but there's no reason some of our longer guys can't do that. Refs will let you get away with a little push there just like they let the defense get away with grabbing.
What do we think OSU is going to do? Their only hope is to try to force turnovers and pray that the refs keep letting them foul at will.
looks like he tried to bounce it out of bounds of a Buckeye
I wonder how long OSU can keep up the pressure D. I guess we'll find out how good their conditoning program is.
How are we only up by 10?
and OSU shooting better than normal from 3
They definitely need to adopt the rule that if a coach calls a timeout within a minute of a media timeout, that counts as the media timeout. 3 timeouts and commercial breaks within 1 minute of game time is ridiculous.
Was that a foul on horford?
I'll be drunk on my ass by half time.
There really isn't too much to complain about. We just got Nik and Jordan a ton of rest this half and the lead hardly changed.
How about inbounding the ball?
Wow we suck at getting the ball in from the baseline
Looks like a few make up calls coming our way, which we then waste
My God, inbound the ball safely, stop giving them a chance.
Forget free-throw drills, this team needs in-bound drills.
I heard he's a goblin.
Why did Nik rush that?
Jesus Staskus. Hit the guy rollin!
This is bad
