I kept telling everyone HP had a legit team but some reason the spread was still huge at 10 points.

They have so many former power school players but that guy Johnston who does not even start wow what a ball game.

I beg any of you that missed the this shot to go back and watch it on replay you will not believe how fast he shoots it from 33 feet to cut the lead from 8 to 5. That changed entire game.

+3 Points4:55 - 2nd
Chase Johnston makes 33-foot three point jumper (Rob Martin assists)

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 the chances of next year being a hard-set back disaster are real high if they don't at least get a somewhat improved portal haul than we've gotten the past 2 seasons.

Tilly was really not what the team needed this last offseason, but they clearly had ZERO NIL funds to spend on the team last offseason. Some of the team's struggles today can be traced back to not having invested in Big Ten-caliber depth and talent last spring. Again, TCU is a system team, it was going to look one of two ways, as their system is designed to take a player like Bruce out of the game and make other guys beat them, and clearly there's a huge drop-off from Bruce to the other guys on the team. Also, clearly the lack of physicality on OSU in the frontcourt showed up due to lack of funding for the team. You can't get a good team for cheap now, but that seems to be what the OSU leadership is demanding of Diebler for this season. It's going to take a huge funding increase before I expect this program to change considerably from where they're at right now.

I "hate" on him based on his actual coaching ability. Days like today don't give much hope that it's ever going to get much better. He really struggles with the Xs and Os and consistently having the team well prepared. Maybe getting an assistant who's great at those sorts of things could help him

I want Duke to lose but if they do that will make the Ohio State loss sting even more but I dont see how they lose they were 28 point favorites and ESPN had 1% chance for Sienna to win.

Siena went from 1% to 19% at half

Seeing Duke lose to Siena under normal circumstances would be absolutely hilarious, but right now just another massive kick in the nuts.

Duke down 11 to Sienna at the half. If Duke doesn't start the second half on a run, this will get interesting.

They bought from the bargain basement clearance rack for NIL last offseason and paid a price in terms of quality. I say let's give him a chance with real NIL funds for the portal before we write him off.

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.

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