To the Diebler defenders how much time is "enough time"? Are you still ok with him if he misses the tournament again next year?

What about the conclusion of this year? They could realistically lose every remaining game. If the only win down the stretch is against Ped State are you ok with that?

Why don't we let this year play out first? It's nonsense to fire Diebler after this season even if they finish with 16 wins.

Next year IMO might be ugly. Diebler has not shown that he can get higher level players in the portal. Thompson is a high level HS recruit but even if he plays at an elite level that won't be hear enough to carry the team

NIL is what it takes to win in the portal, pure and simple. We already know that. Kennard Davis Jr was obviously shopping for the highest bidder and found it after a period of weeks at BYU, and while OSU was interested they didn't have $2 million to spare even for a kid who would start. If anything, Diebler not getting higher level players in the portal proves my point that OSU is not investing NIL funds into the men's hoops team sufficient to compete with their peers.

I remember that song, back when pop music was still borderline listenable. Hadn't heard it since it was on the radio. RIP.

Hate to say it but Cupps should be playing more in my opinion. He can shoot, just chooses not to. Wouldn’t be surprised to see White, Cupps, and even Chatman transfer. These kids don’t like riding the pine when the ones on the floor are stinking up the joint. I don’t blame them either. This damn team is nothing but a bunch of dribblers. Yes, that includes Bruce! I see better ball movement in high school.

Golfing buddy played in Tiger's farm system, went to spring training every year with the big team, but ultimately ended up in AA or AAA. Anyway, he was around when Mark (the Bird) Fidrych was around, and used to tell tales of how crazy he really was. PS, Bob Gibson used to scare me, just watching him pitch. Wouldn't have wanted to bat against the guy. And hats off to all the pitchers that pitched (and won) three games in the world series. Gibson was one, and believe McLain was another.

You see that in our slide down the Directors' Cup standings from being 2nd or 3rd almost every year to fighting to stay on the top 10.

Cracks me up that people make excuses for it too. I don't think the Diebler hire can really be excused, just call it what it is, the athletic department being ok with a lazy cheap hire of a "nice guy" who won't rock the boat or bring any controversies

I think we have a athletic department who could really care less about any other sports as long as they can continue to just ride the football program. As long as it's not too awful and doesn't bring bad press they are ok with being lazy and cheap and with mediocre results.

Back to this game…it doesn’t look like these guys practiced at all. Completely disjointed.

They’re running into each other on offense, can’t dribble and they can’t even get into sets.

Defense has no rotations, lazy swipes. They are lost. I’d almost expect to find a virus went through the lockerroom this week.

They’ve lost games but this is an embarrassing level of guys looking like they’ve never played together.

They are definitely not looking good out there. I realize there was a short turnaround coming back from Maryland. They probably got back early Friday morning, and had to turn around and play Sunday. I've noticed over the last several years the program has tended to play better when they had a little more time to heal up & prepare, and obviously this isn't one of those times.

I think it's obviously a very poor coaching job. YES WE KNOW MICHIGAN IS MORE TALENTED. But that doesn't excuse the things you describe here that's all on the coaching.
