My stance is it's foolish to hate on Diebler in Year 2 with the 12th-highest NIL in the B1G. Part of the reason it's been 10 years since OSU won a B1G championship is lack of financial support. Changing coaches is pointless without changing the way NIL is funded dramatically. You're never going to be happy following this program because you're rooting for a team that you want to be a contender but doesn't remotely do what it takes financially in order to do it.
It remains true though. When you settle for assistants of the former failed coach you are going to get the same failed results. I don't understand how anyone thought this experiment was going to go any other way than it has so far

Have you considered that none of this is an excuse for Diebler being in over his head and just not good as an actual coach. He's another "nice guy" who's not good at the job. Just like his former boss.
You fail to acknowledge reality. There aren't big tech titans waiting in the wings to donate to OSU hoops. I think NIL is part of why May went to Michigan instead of OSU in the first place. Maybe the AD did put out feelers and found out May wasn't interested without being bankrolled like one of the top programs in the country, have you ever considered that?

OSU is doing OK on offense, but the defense is not nearly good enough to win this game. There's no way they can keep giving up open 3s and a dozen offensive rebounds a half and win.
When you just hand the job to part of the former failed product do you really expect people to be lining up the fund the hoops program? These excuses are complete lame. The Athletic Department took the lazy option and the results are about what you can expect from that

Michigan got Dusty May who quicky has that program rolling at a very high level. We settled for the assistant of the failed former coach who has the Ohio State program sputtering in the same mediocrity. The big difference here.

OSU on defense is not getting the job done at all. Giving up tons of offensive rebounds leading into point-blank shots, and tons of open 3s as well. I'm sure they're keying in on their top guys, but beating a great team means having to defend all 5 guys.
The goofy big who has the ugly shot draining 3s is just a continued testament of how cursed this hoops program is at the moment. Whatever can comically go wrong will.
I figured this would happen today. We caught Michigan on an off shooting game in Ann Arbor. Plus, we played more scrappy going for every loose ball. Michigan shooting 8/15 from 3.
Withrow was torn down and replaced by a residence hall a few years ago. It was a relic from a past long gone.
Hueston Woods and the lodge are still there. The lodge is a little dated but has an indoor pool for guests. Restaurant is okay as well. Not sure how many guests it has during non-event days due to a significant increase in the number of hotels around Oxford.
Everytime they get it back close some stupid shit happens. Big guy makes his 1st 3 of the season ...followed by a turnover which leads to yet another wide open 3
