Ohio State craps pants again, loses to Louisiana Tech
November 24th, 2015 at 10:05 PM ^
I turned it on with about 3 minutes to go and was worried I had jinxed it when they pull it within 4. BUT I DIDN'T!

No. Because even if we suck, they're sucking way harder.

We played the best team in the state of OH.
Xavier is ranked, was in the Sweet Sixteen last year and likely will be there again.
Walton had a rough night. Give him a break, it was his 4th game in 9 months. Zak Irvin is being eased back after his back surgery as is Spike with his two hip surgeries.
They can give us all the shit they want for our early December performance last year, but we still kicked their ass the last time we played OSU.
And that ass kicking was handed out while we were playing walk ons in significant minutes (Dakich nailed a 3 on them), which makes it even sweeter that we shut down their lottery pick Russell.
We've beaten them 3 of the last 4, and they have not won a game in the state of MI since they beat MSU......in March of 2012.

It was how we lost. It wasn't a hard fought close loss like we had against Villanova last year. The Xavier game was much different - we were pretty much pathetic in every phase of the game. It was a little alarming, considering how much hype we have (whether deserved or not). I'm certainly not jumping off the bandwagon, but I'm also certainly not going to gloat another team's pathetic lose (even OSU's). It seems as though we may be in from some embarrassing loses this season as well.

I have to believe we won't have horrible team shooting nights like we had against Xavier. There was no one with the hot hand (except Robinson who apparently won't miss this year).

Xavier is like Sparty, but without the media fawning over their coach. They might be better athletically.
November 25th, 2015 at 7:36 AM ^
And faster, with better vision.

which made us co-Big Ten Champs that season

LaTech had the lead the whole game, it was beautiful, Buckeyes losses so far are looking even worse than ours last year.

Well, at least you seem to be making the best of it!

And all my friends went to UConn...just please don't fucking lose tomorrow I can't take any more disappointment
November 24th, 2015 at 10:22 PM ^
just ask them what it's like to be relegated back to mid-major status because no major conference will take them
November 24th, 2015 at 10:34 PM ^
Cuz you know.
They actually won theirs. Good stuff actually happens to their sports teams
November 24th, 2015 at 10:39 PM ^
They lost to Michigan the last time they played and Michigan leads the series so......

Do any of them fugging LOVE bacon jalapeno macaroni and cheese?

Yeah, I'm concerned about our team this year, but their failure is still funny.
November 24th, 2015 at 10:18 PM ^
Man, I knew OSU would take a step back this year, but this is pretty terrible. And they've got Memphis and UVa coming up, so this could snowball really quickly for them.

Radford is a little Virginia college that should be DIII, masquerading as a DI team. That's an ugly loss.

NJIT would kick their ass right now.
In case you forgot, Michigan kicked OSU's ass the last time they played. While playing walk ons.
Their best player in years did nothing.

Lunardi had them in in a bracketology as a 16 seed recently. They can make the tournament now that they found a conference in the A-Sun.

The last 2 seasons, Louisiana Tech has NOT been terrible.
Ohio State basketball may have their issues, but given recent LT history this may be a top-100ish team that OSU lost to. E.g., nothing absolutely terrible.

Still a mid-major who has inferior talent.
As for coaching......well......lol......
November 24th, 2015 at 10:53 PM ^
I'm sorry, but I see absolutely no factual basis for saying that Louisiana Tech has "inferior talent."
There are good mid-majors every single year in hoops (you only need a few players in hoops, after all), and there's no reason to say just yet that LT is NOT among them. LT also beat Texas-Arlington, FWIW.

Well they don't a four-star player on their team. OSU had five in their last class. La Tech may be a better team right now, but OSU is vastly more talented.

We're laughing at Ohio State because they lost and we hate them. Come, join in, you can do it. Channel your inner Scott Paterno and lose all logic, my friend!!!
November 24th, 2015 at 11:45 PM ^
Given the vast number of upsets already this season, you could make fun of any team. Save it for when we beat them. K thx.
