Watched it over and over in the lane at 8.6, released shot at 5.0 so 3.6

Edmonds entered the lane at just over 12 seconds left. This is a decent capture in the lower post on twitter.

Let’s hope they learned from Holtman if they do give him an extension.

This is the major issue, at some point extension talks are gonna come up. If they make the same mistake this program is buried

Good fucking grief Duke is down 11 to Siena with 4 minutes left in the 1st half, if they somehow manage to lose that makes this even more painful

Dielbler is the definition of "meh". I don't hate him, but this is about his ceiling. It sucks that OSU's admin has totally blown off all other sports for football.

I think Diebler could probably be pretty successful in a MAC type setting, but I think to this point it's pretty clear that he is in over his head trying to get a major program past the point of just average.

TCU guy was in the lane for more than 6 seconds on the game winning shot.

Thank you, Bruce. Forever a Buckeye Legend.

I knew the Buckeyes weren't winning it all this season, but it's still disappointing to lose the first game, especially to a system team that you could have been prepared for.

On the bright side, I could care less about the rest of the tourney now that our boys lost. Supposed to be in the 80’s this weekend in SC. Lots of outdoor projects I can start on. Good, not great season. Bruce, I hope you have an NBA future! The rest of the team, keep practicing, growing, and developing. Someone has big shoes to fill at point guard. TIL next year….

Opposite for me I like to enjoy the opening rounds at least but this game being first and the end result makes that hard now

Diebler seems to have trouble making adjustments on the fly as well it's like he thinks he has to wait till halftime

The initial strategy of basically letting TCU have and making them beat you jump shots isn't bad because they are not a good shooting team. Problem is when it's clear they are on and making most shots at that point you gotta adjust and that was a big part of them building that 15 point halftime lead

Mobley just 3-11 from 3 this game which is not good. I wonder how he misses so many shots, it seems like every one is going to go in when he releases it, but 3-11 is not what the team needed today. Maybe he would shoot better if he slowed down a little.

This. Needed him just a little bit better, TCU scored in some spurts and we constantly played from behind until near the end. Shoulda woulda coulda. Good fight from the team to scrap and make the Tourney, it was fun to watch and especially to see Bruce make history.

The fact anyone would willingly share made up shit and go "Well I'm sure somebody, somewhere, just HAS to be doing this" is... pretty fucking weird.

And to answer your question - It's possible to reconcile that mental health in this country is in a bad way; while not entertaining the bullshit of AI slop made by some geek in India or Russia.

Didn’t pony up the 600 or so to watch it live. Hell, thanks to a visit from our management team this week, I couldn’t even follow the game through the Score app. All I had to do is see how Mobley shot from 3 point land, and I could’ve told you we lost.

Let's see who we can keep. Mobley and Bynum will be getting recruited hard. We keep them and Thompson is what he's purported to be and we should have enough to improve a bit even without Bruce. I'm not sold on Diebler, but given his inexperience, and the improvement in intensity toward the end of this season, I haven't written him off yet either and hope he can show growth. I would love to see him add a wise old head to the staff to help him out with high-leverage situation play choice and design and substitutions, but my expectations are also dependent in part on the level of program commitment from the administration. When they played with intensity this season, they were really pretty good, but too much of the time they didn't have that intensity and situational IQ was lacking. Lots of games lost on the margins based on those issues. I really want to see a commitment to physicality and consistent intensity.
