Game Thread THE GAME: #1 tOSU at tCun, Sat. Nov. 29th, 12 pm ET, FOX

Seems like a weak assumption to hand xichigan an advantage if weather inhibits the Buckeyes' passing game, anyways. Tcun's #1 RB is out, #2 is not near 100%. OSU has 3 healthy, to my knowledge, RB's and they have done quite well the past few weeks. Underwood is a better runner than Sayin, but still not enough for scum to have an advantage in the running game. Our WR's >> their WR's on runs.

SEC (It just means more.. even its losses are wins)

Just sayin': aTm just lost it's ticket to the SEC Championship Game and probably a Top 4 Seed in the CFPs.

SEC championship scenarios 2025​

Three teams are still in the SEC championship game picture. A look at their paths to the conference championship game:

Georgia (11-1, 7-1)​

- Georgia clinched a spot in the SEC Championship game when Texas A&M lost to Texas on Friday.

Alabama (9-2, 6-1)​

- Alabama clinches a spot with a win against Auburn.

Ole Miss (11-1, 7-1)​

- Ole Miss clinches a spot with an Auburn win over Alabama.
Go Auburn. A 3rd loss almost certainly eliminates Bama.

I think Ole Piss beats UGA the 2nd time around.

Ohio State @ Pittsburgh, Friday, Nov. 28, 7 PM, ESPN2

Especially when you have two 7 footers. Put one on the inbounder, please. Instead, an uncontested inbound and then he was allowed to weave all the way down the court. If you are leaving the inbounder undefended, you should have a 5-on-4 advantage and be able to throw 2 defenders at the ball handler.
For sure.

I should also add another one of the reasons Matta had more success in holding late leads is he coached his teams to avoid fouling. It didn't always go according to plan, the tendency is life on the road involves lots of fouls being called against you, but strategically trying not to foul is the smart move. Putting Pitt in the bonus very early in the second half hurt OSU's chances of winning this game for sure. If Pitt had been good from the foul line, they would have been the team with the lead late.

I do know Thad Matta believed in guarding the in-bounds pass in late-game situations, and it was very rare that OSU lost with a late lead under Matta. As soon as Holtmann came in, the late-game philosophy backfired and OSU has constantly lost games in spite of late leads. The officiating definitely hurt OSU down the stretch in this game, but that being said, it was a big mistake to not guard the in-bounds pass with 3.9 seconds left. Make them take extra time off the clock having to catch the ball in the backcourt, or else throw long.
