2025-2026 Ohio State Men's Basketball

Kentucky should have ended Auburn but the refs got involved at the end helping Auburn to the win. I am still ticked off over that one.

That said Auburn just needs to lose 1 of their final 2 with that 2nd game being at Bama and they are finished as no 16 loss team has ever got a NCAA at large bid.

Cal took that same horrific loss Ohio State did against a terrible Pitt team the only difference is they did it at home and they got smoked and it was when it mattered more in timing.

I think Auburn is done, even if they beat Bama they are gonna have to have a pretty good SEC tourney showing and from the looks of it I don't think they are capable

Ohio State Women's Ice Hockey (2022, 2026 WCHA Champions, 2022, 2024 National Champions)

Got the sweep yesterday 4-1. All of the scoring was by our trio of Swedish Olympians.

We get Minnesota in the knockout round this coming weekend. Wiscy gets an easier path since Minny State upset UM-Duluth this weekend.

Auburn and Cal who are both right at the brink as well both losing at home to bad teams yesterday gave us a big boost along with us winning this game today. Avoiding a loss to Penn State is really the crucial thing at this point as that would knock us back down to that level.

Still have to finish

I think Indiana is cooked at this point. They are out of gas running on fumes after that failed effort against Sparty at home today, they really needed a top notch effort today and the game down the stretch wasn't ever really realistically in reach for them. Id be shocked if we lost at home to them at this point. It's just getting past that death trap in slappy valley on Wednesday

You want to say a game at PSU is an "easy" game because they've lost a lot of games this season, it's really not, but the bracketologists hammer you for losing. That's why it's harder for a high major team, as even the teams like PSU that aren't very good can on one day decide to play like they are very good. The teams that Miami Ohio has been playing would lose to OSU by 40 points, and that's not an exaggeration.

Going into today Ohio State had a WAB at 44. This is the new hot metric that was used last year that got North Carolina in the field despite having a 1-12 quad 1 record.

That win today vs Purdue should shoot that WAB up hopefully into the top 40 which is around where North Carolina was last year.

Going to be such a huge game at Penn State as losing there would undo almost all the good this Purdue win has done and that game won't be easy at all.
I already think WAB is BS to help mid-majors get more bids because they don't play many (or ANY in the case of Miami OH) Quad 1 games. Just a totally unnecessary metric to help teams get in with more wins against weaker teams.

Just snagged a couple tickets for next Sunday's game. A chance to see Bruce's last home game and maybe break Hop's scoring record? Just can't pass that up. Work can fuck off for those 4 hours :lol:
Yeah, it's probably shaping up to be the best home game to attend this season. But gotta find a way to keep the momentum going and can't stumble at PSU. Hopefully the team will continue to get healthier down the stretch.
