2025-2026 Ohio State Men's Basketball

I’m going to watch every game and root for Ohio state to close strong. A few bounces go their way and they beat Pitt, North Carolina and Nebraska. No shame losing to Illinois and scUM had us severely outmatched. Seasons far from over. We could honestly win 5-6 out of the remaining schedule and a few in the B1G tournament and be in. The B1G is deep this year. Not inspiring to squeak in but it’s a step forward and I would love that for Bruce. Let’s get after it!

Thee Ohio State University News

his name needs to go. The endowment is over $8B now. We don't need King Leslie's money.
I believe very, very few folks give a rat’s ass about what name is on a building, program, institute or whatever. The real villains of the world don’t make charitable gifts.

Somebody wants to part with enough cash to get their name posted somewhere……take the cash!

OSU vs. USC, 6:30 PM EST 2/11 BTN

I would say it does matter if guys look out of position and unprepared. However, Defense and rebounding is about 80% effort at this level because everyone has skill. Guys have to freaking want to win more than the opponent.

Now you could also blame coaching for not getting in their asses for less than 100% effort too, or sitting hits who aren't, so it's definitely a marriage that has to work.

Lazy lack of effort play has been a problem in this program that goes back past Diebler.

You gotta at least give some of the blame for the defense being this bad on the coaching

Cleveland Cavs (2016 NBA Champions)

2 things have changed recently with this team that have ignited their confidence and overall play.
1. Obviously the Harder trade had been an Offensive spark and the whole roster had been affected.
2. The most significant in my opinion is that the play of the guys off the bench, Bryant and Tomlin, has lit a phenomenal fire in Jarrett Allen. Dude is playing angry and nowhere near the soft stuff we've seen from him in playoffs. If that continues there is a real Finals chance for this team.
Staying healthy has always been this teams issue but the bench just may finally be good enough to make it work.
