.500 in B1G play is a big uphill battle. They probably aren't beating any of the better teams and even the bottom of the conference is far from a sure win for this team.
This is the problem. We are becoming complacent with "at least they didn't lose badly" moral victories in games likes this. Speaks loudly to the completely stale state of the program
I do dislike that OSU settled for a 3 while down 1 with 4 seconds left and the ball in the frontcourt, with the double-bonus in effect. Launching a deep 3 without really trying to get anything inside helped Carolina.
Note to the NCAA committee….this team deserves the tournament! Take the overall record and shove it where the sun don’t shine! This team can play with anybody.
They'll need to go at least .500 in Big Ten play. That said their kenpom is solid and the Big Ten is probably going to be a 9 bid league. Its certainly possible.
100% not on Diebs tonight. He subbed well, they had guys open and in decent positions tonight. Actually played pretty well for the most part. That is possibly a Final 4 team when all said and done in Carolina and Bucks had a winning shot. Just don't have good fortune right now. Have to keep preparing better so the opportunities start falling our way.
The players being ill prepared and not calling a timeout id pin on the coaching too. SOMEONE has to call a timeout on that Benny hill scramble up the court
Mobley had plenty of room in the middle after the ball was inbounded. Looked like he could run to that open space, then got the pass and could run free.

I want the NCAA tournament so badly, not as a selfish fan, but for Bruce. The young man plays his guts out every game, and has done it four years without ever thinking of transferring. Diebler needs to do better in the last minute. No way we should’ve turned the ball over with 33 seconds on the clock and the inbound.

Really disappointing to not come away with a win up 3 with under a minute left, but when your defense struggles like they were in the second half, it's really hard.
Team is competing in spite of a coach who's in way over his head. Completely awful coaching not calling a timeout and letting them turn the ball over when they were fumbling to get up the court. Then no real inbounds play to even try to get a good last shot.

They did call the timeout though - the refs just missed it. More to the point, if Mobley makes the easy pass instead of dribbling through it, no timeout is necessary.
And it was a good look on that last shot from a guy who was hitting those.

The players on the court also have to know they have a timeout if needed. The last few players to touch the ball on that play could have used it. I know the coach tried to call it, but it's harder to miss when it's a player on the court.
What the fuck?!
