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

After a slow start today they ran away from Toledo, 85-60 to go to 9-1 (6-0 Home) and ranked #21.. Kennedy Cambridge led with 24 points and Kaylee Kitts had 13 rebounds. Jaloni was ok but not her normal electric self and they barely even use the only Center on the roster, Lemmila. I couldnt' tell you what the hell coach is going to do when we play good teams starting at the end of the month. Yet again, we have no development of bigs on this roster so when we get into conference, it might get ugly. We're out-athleting these smaller schools like we've done in the past but we don't have an All everything like we used to have leading the team. There are some really good athletes though so on nights the press is working they'll, eat. But when teams break it, we're proper fucked.

Also constant solicitation of sex workers. Because naturally these two things are very similar!

Let's be honest about your expectations. What are they? I believe many of OSU's fans expect a Sweet 16 this season, and falling short will be considered a failure. Rome wasn't built in a day. I realize a lot of people expect immediate results, but it's not fair to expect an immediate turnaround when the program has been behind the curve for several years & still trying to catch up.

I didn't expect a sweet 16 this year but I expected them to make the tourney without needing a selection Sunday miracle at least. That's still possible but with how things have looked so far I'm not overly optimistic

Sweet 16 is too lofty but making the tourney and looking competitive should be the floor of expectations shouldn't it? I just want to see them busting ass the entire time Win or Loss be damned. Just the way I was raised and played every sport I played. I don't understand another way. Maybe thats a lot of other people too.

I'm pretty sure everyone here WANTS Diebs to be the guy, and the way he's recruiting there is promise there. But, as previously mentioned, what do you do when guys look like a deer in headlights when they get the ball or two guys guard the same guy and then the wide open guy hits a 3, 4 times in the same game. Then all of a sudden they get some kind of energy burst and look like a good basketball team. There's times when we want to quit watching as hard as that is to do then times when we get our expectations high to start winning. It's the yoyo that is happening during a game or season that most of us just don't understand. It's either they are good enough to play and dont want to be All-In or they lack the skills to compete at this level and just aren't going to win. You usually get either or not both in the same game or seasons.

Don't know about Texas Tech, but they did beat Oregon at Autzen earlier this year. I know it's difficult to beat the same team twice in a season, but going to Eugene and walking out with a victory is impressive.

No doubt… I just don’t think they’re going to get Oregon twice. The more motivated team is a dangerous one.

We were the favorite, #1 team, playing in their state, didn’t score inside of the 10 twice, and post a TCUN win yet still lost by 3.

I’m sorry but if we somehow get IU again they’re in deep shit.

I don't think expecting more than mediocrity is "expecting them to be on top". If we miss the tourney again and Bjork once again comes out and says that Diebler is meeting expectations we are definitely cooked on having a competent basketball program anytime soon.

There seems to be zero real strategy in their coaching search besides trying to throw as much money as possible at any somewhat competent coach from another program who will maybe listen. Looks like the Fisch ship is sailing and they are now on to Eli Drinkwitz

The fanbase is so toxic. Fans are so spoiled by football success they think OSU succeeding in hoops is easy, and the easy answer is fire the coach when the team struggles. We've fired the coach twice in the last 10 years. Our basketball program is kind of like Auburn football, and the fans want the coach fired every year because they're not on top. But unlike Auburn football, our hoops program isn't the flagship of the athletic department & will always take a backseat and get less than top-tier funding as a result.

I think fans should have some patience, because NIL is a constantly evolving new world and coaches like Diebler who didn't have well-funded pay infrastructure built up before them have to figure it out. Of course there's trial and error involved when you're navigating an unfamiliar system. There's a reason why Jon Scheyer was born on 3rd base in coaching, and it wasn't just the job he inherited, it was the big money connections. Recruiting is the lifeblood of any program, and getting top prospects is what it takes for a program to be elite.

Looking forward to next year, it seems to me they will target the transfer portal to add a top-notch PG. Since Johnson flaked out and left them right before signing day, this will be their best fall-back option. Diebler had a plan to succeed Bruce, it just fell through late, and the timing makes it unlikely to add the ideal candidate through the high school ranks. I know you want to see someone lined up there to help fill those big shoes, but you'd rather they take their time and get the best guy they can find than just add anyone they can find.
