Miami (OH) Redhawks (Basketball Official Thread)

So they tried, but obviously they failed. While they made some effort, I think it looks like they waited too long to do it. It appears many of the teams they emailed cold did not need a guarantee game, and in fact several of them responded and indicated that they did not have scheduling vacancies (OSU is in that group). Pitt maybe made the worst choice, saying they needed a game and choosing Hofstra (who they lost to).


That's just funny

2025-2026 Ohio State Men's Basketball

Now that Iowa lost, a win vs Indiana = first Big Ten tournament game on Thursday which is huge because it means you don't have a chance to play a bad team that will wreck your tournament chances if you lose.
Obviously we want OSU to have the double-bye; however, there is no guarantee that Iowa will beat the winner of Maryland/Oregon, as the Hawkeyes have already lost to Maryland and PSU this season. Yes, it reduces the odds of OSU having a bad loss there, but it's not guaranteed. I like it more from the standpoint of I do want to see OSU try and compete for the B1G tourney championship, and it's much more likely from a Thursday start. If they can find a way to beat Iowa (or MD/Oregon) and upset UM, I could see them taking the tournament. But those first two games could be the toughest.
