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!
I don't play "what if" because the past is what it is, but otherwise I'm with you. They do have a legit shot at the tourney and I'm rooting like crazy for it, and that's especially true if they can find a way to get more healthy (if that's possible) down the stretch. You're right also that we should want the program moving in the right direction overall, as especially with a young coach you can gain some long-term benefits if you keep things going in the right direction.

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.
