Now 60% from the field for the Hawkeyes, 49-32.

Either he only says the right thing when the camera is on him or these guys aren't listening. During hat timeout he was exactly right with what he was saying so I don't know why they aren't comprehending.

The last 4 games Iowa has lost, the opponent has attempted 20+ free throws in each game. One of the keys for beating this team is getting to the foul line and converting, something that doesn't seem to be the gameplan for OSU.

Iowa is not some high end talent team. This is the difference between a coach who knows what he's doing and one who doesn't

This team only looks for offense. I don’t see anyone worthy of a defensive award. Nobody! What Juni gives on offense is negated by piss poor defense. Same with Chatham. Guys blow by them all the time

You're not too far off the truth. I think this staff recruits with offensive skillset in the forefront of their mind. Defense is an afterthought, and it shows in the results. It shows up against a team like Iowa, who you have to beat with strength and physicality (a la Purdue).

Another freaking foul!!! Elsa should be shooting the winning free throws.

Not watching, but I'm guessing Iowa was in zone D when the Bucks went up 14-2, then switched to man-to-man and are now crushing on D. It looked like Sparty was in man-to-man for much of that game and Bucks never solved it, except for Bruce occasionally.

Edit: ...or Dieb subbed in guys who can't score so that the scorers can be fresh later on. And paid dearly.

Im out. It's baseball season.

That’s because Diebler decided to substitute his hot shooting players for a bench that scores like 4 points a game. I knew as soon as he subbed, Iowa would come back and come back fast. Too much subbing

Yep. A coach who's in over his head. This game is really showing it. Let's not act like Iowa is some high end talent team.

Iowa 37-23 at half. Bruce with 0 points. Not looking good.

Cincinnati sues Sorsby over $1M exit fee after Texas Tech transfer​

Cincinnati sued former quarterback Brendan Sorsby in federal court Wednesday, alleging he breached his NIL contract with the Bearcats when he refused to pay a $1 million exit fee after he transferred to Texas Tech.

The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, seeks $1 million in liquidated damages, which the school said Sorsby was contractually obligated to pay within 30 days of transferring.

In the complaint, Cincinnati's attorneys said the quarterback's representative "advised that Sorsby refuses to pay the University anything."

Sorsby reportedly signed an NIL agreement with the Red Raiders that will pay him between $4 million and $6 million this season.

"In his lucrative NIL agreement with Cincinnati Athletics, Brendan Sorsby committed to stay and play for two seasons as a proud Bearcat representative," the university said in a statement Wednesday. "He also agreed that if he left the university before that time, he would pay the university a specific amount for the substantial harm that his breach would cause.

"Cincinnati Athletics intends to enforce that contractual commitment. As stewards of the university's resources, the Athletics Department has a duty to do so. We thank Brendan for his time at Cincinnati and wish him success in the future."

The lawsuit said that Sorsby signed an 18-month NIL contract with the Bearcats that covered the 2025 and 2026 seasons. It was set to expire on Dec. 15, 2026.

Just sayin': Colleges suing athletes for braking NIL contracts is just going to get more and more common.

This team is just bad all around. I don’t understand how a university as big as ours can never get a big guy worth a damn like the Purdues of the world. Who have we had since Sully worth a damn underneath?

Kaleb Wesson was strong. Not sure if you count EJ Liddell as a big, but he at least provided good rim protection & rebounding. Haven't really had an interior presence since EJ.

This shit is entertaining but this might be the worst basketball I’ve ever seen. My Gawd is this fugly

Bruce 0 points in a must win game. Best player on the team, but not assertive. Frustrating to watch this shit over and over

The patented 8ish minute run of awful play that dooms us against better teams.

This list is idiotic imo. McCarthy shouldn't even be on this list, and the fact that the B1G single season passing yards and passing TDs record holder doesn't even make the list(Dwayne Haskins) shows how much of a joke it is. I feel like whomever made the list just wanted to throw players in there and not just populate the list with OSU QBs. Because tbh, every starting QB in the 2000s should be on this list. And honestly 4 of the top 5 QBs should be OSU QBs if we're being completely honest(Stroud, Fields, Smith and Miller).
If I could redo the list:
1) Justin Fields 2) Troy Smith 3) CJ Stroud 4) Fernando Mendoza 5) JT Barrett 6) Will Howard 7) Braxton Miller 8) Russell Wilson 9) JJ McCarthy 10) Taulia Tagovailoa 11) Chad Henne 12) Trace McSorley

1) Fernando Mendoza
2) Troy Smith
3) Justin Fields
4) CJ Stroud
5 Russell Wilson
6) Braxton Miller
7) Drew Brees (played in 2000)
8) Dwayne Haskins
9) Will Howard
10) J.T. Barrett

Not ideal to put the opponent on the foul line in the 1-and-1 by fouling on the offensive end - that's the kind of thing that never seems to happen in OSU's favor.
