OT: Duke/Ohio Thread
Can't both lose. Not pulling for anyone here. I mean Duke, like Ohio, is four letter word.
Prediction: Ohio 72 Duke 75

Can we please, for the love of god, call them Ohio State in basketball? There's an actual quality basketball program named "Ohio" (who, you might remember, we played last year), and it's just really, really stupid in this context.

Ohio (YTO) and Ohio (NTO)
November 28th, 2012 at 10:34 PM ^
I think the Bobcats are "THE" Ohio University.
November 28th, 2012 at 10:19 PM ^
by ohio's D, but does Duke look like they can score like we can? I'm gonna go ahead and say no on that one.
November 28th, 2012 at 10:20 PM ^
November 28th, 2012 at 10:29 PM ^
If I could vote this up or give you a 5 I would. In that case go Penn State, OSU and Illinois. Make sure we don't get Maryland. Eliminate change and keep the Big Ten the same!
Greedy, hungry Delany. Shame on you!
November 28th, 2012 at 10:30 PM ^
Sorry Double post!
November 28th, 2012 at 11:00 PM ^
Can the loser be forced to take Rutgers as well?
November 28th, 2012 at 11:13 PM ^
while the loser get to keep Maryland! Fair trade.
November 28th, 2012 at 10:24 PM ^
Kirk Herbie looks like he married his sister, hmm, they chew gum so similarly
November 28th, 2012 at 10:29 PM ^
This Seth Greenberh looks like a slightly slimmed down Al Borges
November 28th, 2012 at 10:30 PM ^
OSU looks good, but Duke looks tired. They are lucky to be down only 8.
November 28th, 2012 at 10:34 PM ^
we beat lower case ohio in C'Bus?
Bobcats are upper case Ohio, remember that whole Brian meme before the NCAA's?
November 28th, 2012 at 10:38 PM ^
Ohio Buckeyes (See: Script Ohio)
November 28th, 2012 at 10:39 PM ^
if you say so, I like lower case better for some reason
November 28th, 2012 at 10:35 PM ^
I wouldn't mind a B1G/ACC win and a top 3 (no order) of Michigan, Indiana, and Matta's team.
November 28th, 2012 at 10:38 PM ^
I can root for Ohio in non-conference games. The better the B1G looks, the better Michigan looks. And the better Michigan will look when we BEAT OHIO.
November 28th, 2012 at 10:46 PM ^
Plumlee threw that down with authority. Nasty!
November 28th, 2012 at 10:48 PM ^
November 28th, 2012 at 10:53 PM ^

November 28th, 2012 at 11:00 PM ^
I enjoyed that. Typical bilas logic...teams become less tired as the game progresses.
November 28th, 2012 at 11:00 PM ^
DeShaun Thomas should be earning an NBA paycheck instead of an ohio state paycheck. He's a mismatch against anyone.
November 28th, 2012 at 11:09 PM ^
this.
November 28th, 2012 at 11:04 PM ^
Not this game, but wow Illinois can't make a free throw!
November 28th, 2012 at 11:06 PM ^
Won't matter looks like Big Ten will take at least six games though this could very well end in a tie.
Guess Maryland will belong to both the Big Ten and ACC.
November 28th, 2012 at 11:07 PM ^
It's better of UM to have the Big Ten teams win... so ohio win is good for us. With that said, F ohio. Then again, F Duke. I just hate everything about this game. I can't watch.
November 28th, 2012 at 11:18 PM ^
Agree. A big FU to both teams, coaches.
By the way, why is Aaron Craft a preseason B1G 1st-teamer? He's an awful shot. Airballs, bricks, it's like he's inventing new ways to miss
November 28th, 2012 at 11:31 PM ^
But he's such a heady quarterback on the floor.
November 28th, 2012 at 11:32 PM ^
November 28th, 2012 at 11:20 PM ^
Duke must not be tired anymore, huh?
Also, Louisville woulda been a better get for the B1G cause that gives us more SEC exposure for recruiting and people are moving to the south a lot
November 28th, 2012 at 11:21 PM ^
Has anyone ever cared about a record for dunks?
November 28th, 2012 at 11:26 PM ^
Shaq?
November 28th, 2012 at 11:30 PM ^
Thank got he went to OSU and we got Burke. He doesn't seem to be getting better as a player. I liked him a lot in the past he's single-handedly losing this game for OSU with shitty offense.
November 28th, 2012 at 11:30 PM ^
November 29th, 2012 at 12:14 AM ^
are you in my house?

/s
Leaders don't miss two free throws and air ball a floater in the paint.
Burke>Craft
November 28th, 2012 at 11:35 PM ^
ONE! what a joke. craft lost this game.
November 28th, 2012 at 11:33 PM ^
I can't wait to play Dukie in the tournament Final Four (while Ohio is home watching like their football team).
November 28th, 2012 at 11:35 PM ^
w00t! Go Duke, beat Ohio!!
This run over the past couple minutes has been awesome!!
Go Devils Go!!!
November 29th, 2012 at 1:13 AM ^
I opened this thread after the game just to look for your post.
WOOOOO DUKE!
November 28th, 2012 at 11:46 PM ^
ACC: 6
B1G: 6
This tie is all on Michigan State and Wisconsin. No one, not even I expected OSU to win against Duke and they played a good game minus Craft ill performance but MSU losing to Miami and Virginia winning in the Kohl Center blows my mind. The B1G is still the cream of the crop!
Ok Michigan fans, salivate in Ohio State defeat for the night...
November 28th, 2012 at 11:49 PM ^
Agree with this.
November 28th, 2012 at 11:54 PM ^
you seem like a good guy, tough loss for you guys, played well but Craft killed you there, how concerned are you about his lack of Offense at times and then missing FT's, surprising, that
Also, good call on Sparty & Wiscy, them fools blew it for the B1G, MSU in particular just might be starting to wane under Izzo, they don't play as solid as they used to.
November 29th, 2012 at 12:11 AM ^
Aaron plays very solid defense any one can admit that but his offensive numbers are not where they need to be. With most of our offense leaving (Buford and Sully) we need him to step up and at least get 12-15 a night and dish the ball well too. Aaron also needs to learn how to take well advised shot and exercise good judgement. Part of his play last year was the reason we lost in the final four to Kansas. I'm just hoping games like this will make him better once Big Ten play starts.
Sidenote: Ohio State needs to find some more scores besides Thomas and Aaron. They can't do it alone. Bummer game but you live and learn.
