One of the great things about living in AZ, besides the winter weather, is we don't don't change our clocks. Every year though some clown either arrives one hour early to work or one hour late because they have their phones set to Mountain Time.

Seems timely (no pun intended) to bring this thread back since we just changed time.

Sac State is legit

This team is humming. Peaking at the right time? How awesome would that be!

Congrats Bruce, on one hell of a Buckeye career!

We're definitely peaking at the right time, defense has got much better and less stupid fouls/turnovers it seems. I think the players know their roles and are settled into them. Hope we get a crack in the Tourney, we could be a dangerous team (albeit depth is a big issue if we get into foul trouble).

Bruce tied Shannon Scott for 3rd all time in assists i believe as well...

Bruce's stat line in the IU game looks like a man against boys: 25 points on only 9 shots, 7 assists & 0 turnovers, 3 boards and 2 steals. Professional.

He's so consistent that I'm legitimately shocked when he misses a shot

Purdue will be the #7 seed in the Big Ten tournament that is crazy

Well NW blew it lost by 1 at Minnesota hope they stick in the top 75 NET (were 69 coming in)

Was up 1 and missed front end gave up a basket and missed at the buzzer

The bracket guy I follow here is what his first 5 out did today

69) Virginia Tech lost
70) New Mexico lost
71) Auburn lost
72) Cincinnati lost
73) California lost

Looks like it will be #8 seed. Not sure who will be the 9/16 at this moment.

After going in dry on Indy, we're in no matter what happens in Chicago. Still, the way this team has been rolling, I'd love to see a good run.

Right now Joey Brackets has OSU at a #9 seed. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad OSU is going to make it, but a #9 seed is a buzzkill. There are only going to be heavyweights at the #1 seed line this year. Would rather have a #10 or even #11 seed and have a more plausible chance at making the Sweet 16.

OSU finishes with 12 regular-season conference wins, most since 2021-22 (also 12). Remarkably, this is the first time OSU has finished the regular season with 20+ wins since the 2019-20 season. Other teams have gotten there since, but partly due to postseason victories. The last time OSU had BOTH 20+ regular-season wins AND 12+ regular-season conference wins in the same year was the 2017-18 season. Progress!

Lost game 2 19-6 guess they scored some runs at least

7-1 USA

Boys finally woke up. Schwarber with a upper deck bomb and then Judge just murdered the LF scoreboard

This dude is so good already. I love the way he rebounds and attacks the rim. He has an aggressiveness and violence to his game that the program has been lacking for a while now.

He's so much fun to watch.

It's going to be a hell of a challenge to only pick five guys for the B1G all-conference first team this season. I would like to think that Bruce will be chosen, as he certainly deserves it; however, there are 5+ others that also deserve it. Bennett Stirtz, Keaton Wagler, Jeremy Fears, Yaxel Lendeborg and Braden Smith all deserve it, too. What is going to be the tie-breaker in one of those guys not making it? I can see voters not putting Wagler on the first team since he is a freshman, and most of those other guys aren't going to have another chance to make it - that's not a great reason for Wagler to not be chosen, but I can see it playing out that way.
