Beat MSU Open Thread
Though it is funny how much more smoothly they'd run as a team if they had Burke. He'd fix a lot of their problems.
Just thought the "he's a terrible coach" line was completely outrageous. I definitely think scouting/recruiting has way more to do with being a good coach than X's and O's. Matta dropped the ball in pretty stunning fashion on Burke and I think he's paying the price for it.
On Green, I guess I'm saying I'll take a big who can pass and shoot outside like he can over an NBA prospect any day.
On THJ, not sure how bad his season has been. Still averaged close to 15 a game and just had a little drought from outside, but is still a great shooter (same thing sort of happened with Vogrich for a while too).
I guess on OSU, my thinking is they really just have 3 really good players and a solid but unspectacular point guard. Obviously that was enough tonight (LOL, Izzo), but I would much rather have 6-7 rounds in the clip like MSU has and like I think Michigan does this year.
And in closing, I realize no one will read this buried in the middle of an enormous open thread from hours ago, but that's just how I roll.
i feel bad for Illinois St...i guess its better for Northwestern though...
Mon Dieu!
I'm probably wrong, but I think he means an NCAA tournament 2 seed.
suckeyes R blowing it on purpose.
they aren't goona take a dive to just hurt us, I mean you know they get the Big Ten title also if they win right? And if they lose they are in third place and the 3rd seed ( well the 3rd seed with a win or not} but I am sure they will make a run and make this a game.
I wouldn't be surprised if they were upset on Friday. They'll play either Purdue or Indiana, in Indy.
Sparty.is.Tough. Man, Ohio looks weak compared to them right now. They're playing right into the hands of MSU Defense, and struggling doing so. On the Offensive end, Ohio can't stop them.
Damn 22-9 way to fail me OSU.
Sometimes you just have to look for them....
Still a lot of game left.
Wow, they are sucking ass. Just when we need them too. Fuck Ohio
they are just throwing the ball at the backboard hping it goes in... this could get ugly...
I can't believe there are experts out there still saying Ohio is a Final Four team. You can't be as mentally soft as they are and expect to blow through the tournament unless some of the better teams in their bracket get upset.
That hurts like hell.
Early in the season each team is trying to develop chemistry and get a flow going. We're a good example having to develop/integrate Trey into the team. OSU did well on talent alone early on but now that the coaching and strategy sinks in, the good teams have gotten better while OSU is found wanting.
Do the MSU players have crazy amounts of back sweat, or is that just how their uniforms are designed?
back sweat.
Yeah that's how they're designed, that crazy backsweat the spartan players develop was wieghing them down, costing them wins. Hi-tech stuff that funnels the sweat down their spines and into their butt cracks. Now look at 'em.
/s ( or wine, take your pick)
Fucking Iowa
Hooray Northwestern!
fucking minnesota
Bollman designed the plays for this Ohio State offense, didn't he? That son of a bitch just won't go away!
Jay Bilas? Is that you?
The difference between listening to a game with Clark Kellogg and one with Dan Dakich is like night and day. I had to finally kill the sound in our game.
I realize Clark is a Buckeye but he's at least tolerable.
sucks
to get up and downcourt.
Man, MSU showed up and OSU did not.
but OSU is only down ten. Man I'm like confused as to who to root for. I don't want MSU to win, I don't want OSU to win. I know we are champs if OSU wins...okay I'm denying my hate for OSU....
When did Joe Bauserman check in?
Ohio isn't good for sh*t.
Granted it was a tough task...but I would rather replace the wax seal on my toilet then keep watching this game
How the hell did we lose to Iowa?
FUCK OHIO
We're seeing Ohio's weaknesses front and center. They don't shoot well and Sullinger is not a good defender.
This is starting to turn into a game. Ohio seems to have gotten through the early surge and now is within single digits.
