So, is there any reason why with a team that's a bit undersized but fairly deep that Diebler's chosen to play slow down half court ball rather than the aggressive more up tempo style with some pressing that he brought life to last year's team with?

It seemed to me they were struggling to get to their spots to run their halfcourt offense vs MSU. Sparty was pushing them well past the 3-point line, the Buckeyes struggled to move the ball in the halfcourt which forced them into a lot of late clock situations, and there didn't seem to be much of an adjustment to counter. But you're right there was some stagnation in the halfcourt offense & guys seemed to be kind of on their heels - I feel like that was more of a thing just for this game, and hopefully it won't be a trend. I will say also they seemed to try to play fast vs some other teams like A&M and Maryland and it really didn't work - generally speaking, playing fast only works when you have a talent advantage. This game it just seemed like OSU didn't have enough playmakers - for the first time, it seemed like they missed having Meechie out there.

The one thing I knew would happen in this game and I said it at least twice. Dan Lanning for good or worse would be aggressive and it would be likely he went for it due to being down multiple scores. Then if that didn’t hit the floor gates could really open

Northern Illinois Board of Trustees to Vote on Mountain West Membership​

The Huskies would leave the MAC—their home since 1997.

Northern Illinois has accepted an offer to leave the MAC and join the Mountain West Conference as a football-only member beginning in 2026. Now, the university needs approval from its Board of Trustees.

A move to the Mountain West comes with a $2 million membership fee, to be paid in installments spread across six years. Any university move that requires $500,000 or more requires board approval. The trustees will convene to vote on Tuesday. Northern Illinois has recommended approval for the move.

In the meeting agenda, shared by Bryan Fischer on SI, Northern Illinois says that it expects for the conference change to be more than lucrative enough to offset the membership fee:

"The costs to support the transition to the (Mountain West), including travel, staffing, rebranding, and exit fees will be primarily offset by increased revenues from multimedia rights, revenue distributions, and guarantees from the conference as well as anticipated enhancements in revenue from ticket sales and donations. After admission to the MWC, a ramp-up period of one year is anticipated before revenues fully reach projected levels. The university does not plan to use existing institutional funds to support the transition," it said.

If the vote passes, the Huskies would leave the MAC for the second time. Northern Illinois was a member of the midwestern league from 1973 to '85 and re-joined in 1997 after stints as an independent program and as a football-only member of the Big West (1993 to '95). It will rejoin former conference-mates Nevada, San Jose State and UNLV in the new-look MWC. The league will also feature Air Force, Hawai'i, New Mexico, UTEP and Wyoming.

The Huskies have not yet announced a plan for the rest of their athletic programs.

Buckeyes evened up the all-time record against Ky at 11-11. There aren’t too many teams that have played them 10+ times without trailing in the series head-to-head.

OK, I looked up the losing record thing. These current Division I schools are included:

18-25 vs. N. Carolina
08-09 vs. St. Louis
11-11 vs. Ohio State
08-08 vs UCLA
