Ohio State Women's Basketball (2023-24 B1G CHAMPS)

Bestbuck36 said:
The commentators were spot on with the summation of this one:

"We have Jaloni, and you don't!"

Phenomenal game by the sisters and the rest of the starters are really playing well. That blip in Iowa happens in this conference but if they keep playing defense and get Kitts back they can end up in the Final Four.

They've got to play bigger on the glass to have that be realistic IMO.

Very briefly met him when I was in High School and Tommy Rowlands was still at Ready. We had gone to Ready for a joint practice and he asked me about my elbow since I had just dislocated it earlier that week and still in a sling and half-cast.

I can't say I knew him personally, but for a coach to ask a kid from a different school about his elbow, especially one who was clearly pissed he had to miss practice, it definitely made an impression.

OSU Men's Basketball Recruiting/Projections/General Discussions

You know where apathy starts? Recruiting guys who don't play with maximum effort and guys that aren't physically big, strong, tough and athletic enough to compete. This is the #1 area where OSU basketball recruiting needs to change, and until it does, we're not going to see another team with the defensive chops to contend for a B1G championship. To really turn the program around, the primary focus should not be offensive skillset, the primary focus should be finding guys with the motor to go along with the size and athletic ability to compete in the B1G. 3/4 of the battle in winning a college basketball game is controlling the glass, making more foul shots than your opponent & winning the turnover battle, and if you do all those things you can win a lot of games even if your team isn't the greatest at shooting the ball. These are things that Izzo has made a Hall of Fame career based on, and yet somehow other college coaches all seem to think they need to try and audition for NBA jobs rather than build programs that compete at the highest levels in college. If OSU ever wants to turn the program around and gain a larger fan following, the first step is go back to getting guys like Aaron Craft, David Lighty, Jae'Sean Tate & Je'Kel Foster on the team.

100.

I've been lamenting Tilly since the conference games started. He's a talented kid but he's not built for the B1G. If you're soft at all this league will expose you and kick your ass all season long. It's unfortunate that we don't have a guy who just wants to dare other teams to come in the paint.

Should semipro/college players be paid, or allowed to sell their stuff? (NIL and Revenue Sharing)

Ohio House bill would scuttle OHSAA policy, ban NIL in middle and high school sports

Newly introduced Ohio HB 661 would prohibit middle and high school students from entering name, image and likeness deals with businesses.

Why...I just ...what the fuck ever.

Why??!!

All the shit wrong in the state and world today and THIS is what some cockslap, money grubbing, crooked fuck politician came up with? THIS is the thing that just has to get done?

"I know there are kids without winter coats. I know food insecurity is rampant as well as drug addiction, mental health and homelessness but fuck all that. Today we tell the children of Ohio enough is enough! We grown ups know what's best for you and will tell you how and when you are allowed to make money. It's what's best for the state of Ohio and by the State of Ohio I mean my lobbyists."

With you on Pat, don't really have any issues with him.

Portnoy, on the other hand, is most things I hate about humanity. He's from Boston (adjacent obviously, you never hear from people who are actually from Boston City proper), Michigan alum/fanboy, and an insufferable love for the fucking Patriots.

He didn't even have to be a douche bag.
