#8 Ohio State vs #9 TCU, Thursday March 19, 1215pm ET, CBS

bigdog3300
We took a step forward this year instead of backward, so I at least have more optimism for Diebler than I did this time last year. Very interested to see how next year looks after the portal, but with some pieces like Bynum, Mobley, Thompson, you have a foundation if you can hold it together.


The one thing I'll still be concerned with...if Diebler isn't a great recruiter, whether based on skill or lack of NIL assets, don't you need your coach to be very strong on the x and o side? Otherwise, what is he giving you....if he's not a recruiter, a strategist, loaded with experience, elite staff builder, etc., what is he excelling at?

But every team practices that situation a bunch, right? It's like a basic tenet of being a basketball coach.

Diebler I think is a coach who needs assistants who are really high level when it comes to those sorts of things. I think the aspect of managing everything has been a bit much for him and he's proven to be a bit in over his head so far.

So Diebler made an interesting comment post-game saying one of the options was to advance the ball some and then call a timeout. Most of us were under the impression that we were out of timeouts. If OSU was not charged a timeout because they were reviewing the clock (saw this suggested online), and we actually had a timeout, how do you not draw up a pass play to get it past half court, and then take that timeout?

Diebler.....struggles with the x's and o's aspect of the game.

I kept telling everyone HP had a legit team but some reason the spread was still huge at 10 points.

They have so many former power school players but that guy Johnston who does not even start wow what a ball game.

I beg any of you that missed the this shot to go back and watch it on replay you will not believe how fast he shoots it from 33 feet to cut the lead from 8 to 5. That changed entire game.

+3 Points4:55 - 2nd
Chase Johnston makes 33-foot three point jumper (Rob Martin assists)
Win %: WIS, 87.2

I've read that high point has some crazy high NIL in context of them being from a low major level conference

Dielbler is the definition of "meh". I don't hate him, but this is about his ceiling. It sucks that OSU's admin has totally blown off all other sports for football.

With NIL and coaching salaries this is pretty much the world we’re in now.

Schools that try to do everything usually slip in football and the schools that go all in on football tend to only be elite there.

Tilly was really not what the team needed this last offseason, but they clearly had ZERO NIL funds to spend on the team last offseason. Some of the team's struggles today can be traced back to not having invested in Big Ten-caliber depth and talent last spring. Again, TCU is a system team, it was going to look one of two ways, as their system is designed to take a player like Bruce out of the game and make other guys beat them, and clearly there's a huge drop-off from Bruce to the other guys on the team. Also, clearly the lack of physicality on OSU in the frontcourt showed up due to lack of funding for the team. You can't get a good team for cheap now, but that seems to be what the OSU leadership is demanding of Diebler for this season. It's going to take a huge funding increase before I expect this program to change considerably from where they're at right now.

I think the chances of next year being a hard-set back disaster are real high if they don't at least get a somewhat improved portal haul than we've gotten the past 2 seasons.

I "hate" on him based on his actual coaching ability. Days like today don't give much hope that it's ever going to get much better. He really struggles with the Xs and Os and consistently having the team well prepared. Maybe getting an assistant who's great at those sorts of things could help him

Welp….

Now that it’s over with, the turds in the fanbase that pretend to care about basketball from January to march can go back in their collective holes….only to reemerge when summer camp opens to say stupid shit like JJ Smith doesn’t care or Ryan Day needs to win every game by 40 or parrot whatever stupid nonsense Jbook says….

I want Duke to lose but if they do that will make the Ohio State loss sting even more but I dont see how they lose they were 28 point favorites and ESPN had 1% chance for Sienna to win.

Siena went from 1% to 19% at half

Expecting that Duke run, but Purdue against Dickinson was 98.5% chance and was favored by 24 or 25 points. The probability is small, but we have seen this shit before.
