You're right, that's been the one constant with three coaches over practically 10 years now, not enough dogs, too many puppies. Wisconsin really exposed OSU's lack of post presence - both offensively and defensively, it was embarrassing. Blackwell for Wisconsin is the perfect example of the type of player OSU needs more of, a guy who will bully his way to the basket and not let a defender being in his way stop him. You need a team filled with guys who can handle some bumps, be able to play through contact, get to the foul line and convert in the paint, but over the last several seasons OSU puts together teams with maybe 2 guys who can do it and 8 who can't. There absolutely should be a higher priority in recruiting players with the requisite size, strength and athleticism to hold their own at the B1G level. At this point, what justification is there for continuing to recruit based on the same failed emphasis on offensive skillset over all else?

The problem is they aren't skilled either. Year after year this team has no strengths to beat you. They aren't going to out shoot you, they aren't going to out defend you, they aren't going to out pace you. etc

Thee Ohio State University News

Never thought of that connection. Guess Wexner coulda been chumming Epsteins waters to provide women's 'flimseys' for his parties. These young 'uns couldn't have been able/required to provide their own party duds. Have seen the U-tubes where the young hottie asks the old guy how old he is, and he replies '$70 million in the bank', and she replies that's a great age....

What song are you listening to right now

calibuck
Geez Dubs, you got all this on vinyl? My stash is only two feet deep. Yours must be around 20'....and eclectic as heck. Liked the psycadelic (sp?) album at top, brings back some late 60's memories. Cannot remember whose, but those times are best kept locked up....and pine for my Klipsch speakers that sold for a song....my first purchase with my first paycheck, from my first job after receiving my MBA....

Don't really believe that the Buckeyes were playing bad defense - against the 3's. They WERE playing bad defense when the ally oops were going over our smallish team for lay-ups. Wiscy was raining three's from all over the court, and our 3 machines weren't answering. PS, to the above opinion that we have a brutish 5, who has the attitude 'get the ball', believe he's sitting on the bench right now, nursing an injury. (Xfer from Baylor). Have no clue what the injury is, but hope he's doing his cardio, so if he can get ready for the Dance or ? he's ready. "Puff" doesn't seem to be cutting it when he's in. Not really certain what he does, but haven't seen any of it....

Puff jumped in after like a week of practice after not even getting to practice with the team at all for the whole season up until that point. That's a very hard thing to do so I'll cut him a break, at this point he was just a desperately needed extra body

CG John “Juni” Mobley, Jr. (Official Thread)

calibuck
Hey, even Jack, Arnie and Tiger have off days. But Mobley seems to have an over-tall, equally agile person hounding him, with or without the ball. And Mobley does get tired. Against Wiscy, he seemed to be getting shots, but just a tad off. With his defender denying him the ball, and our screeners not exactly bulky, they were fighting through to keep pressure on. Let us not forget that Thornton was way below his scoring average as well, and Devin (though he had an upscale game), couldn't outduel the Wiscy bigs (who always seemed around the basket). Team loss.
