Ohio State vs. Purdue-Fort Wayne, Friday, Nov. 7, 630 PM, BTN

Do like having a legitimate 4 in the game, at the 4, not the 5. When the xfer shows up, he'll have to beat out Tilly, and the Croatian freshman. Certainly the scoring needs to be evened out, Thornton cannot be expected to score 30+ every night. Devin doesn't look entirely settled at the 3, hasn't taken the mid-range jumper much, and looks to revert to his playing the 4 days (which isn't all bad, but...). Do believe that the cake is in the over, and rising (or falling) as it cooks. Excuse the food analogy, need breakfast, but I find it fascinating how this team is growing, and finding their levels within the parameters of the team, and who's on the floor at the time. Go Bucks!

Is This The Best OSU Team Ever?

In my living memory it's between 1998 and 2019 teams.

Jury is still out on this one for reasons listed but there is no doubt it could have some of the best talent we've ever seen at OSU in Smith, Downs, Sayin and Reece getting himself into those kind of conversations.
You should be ashamed of yourself young man. Now you march your hiney right into the tight ends room and apologize!

The Cleveland Cavaliers have a new, familiar face as part of their coaching staff this season.
Former Ohio State center Kosta Koufos joined the wine and gold this offseason. The Canton, Ohio, native will be a member of the Cavs' player development staff this season, according to a source.

Before Cleveland's win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday night, Koufos was seen working out with Cavs center Thomas Bryant.

The 7-footer concluded his 11-year NBA career in 2019. He averaged 5.7 points, 5.0 rebounds and 0.7 blocks per game while playing for five different teams throughout his career. His best season came in 2012-13, when Koufos averaged 8.0 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks per game in 22.4 minutes per contest across 81 starts, all of which were career-highs.
Following his NBA career, Koufos signed with CSKA Moscow in the EuroLeague, a two-year, $6 million deal that made the big man the highest-paid American in Europe at the time.
In his lone season at Ohio State in 2007-08, the former Buckeye averaged 14.4 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.8 blocks in 27.1 minutes per game. He was named the 2007-08 NIT MVP and was also on the Big Ten All-Freshman team.

Ohio State vs. IU-Indy, Monday, Nov. 3, 630 PM, BTN+

Sounds like a good game to build from. Sure, I get that they got over a hunnerd, but as didn't watch the game, have zero notable assertions. Certainly shows tOSU's firepower, and gives Diebs something to work on. 'Runner' teams will score more points, but also give up more points. Half court O slows the game down, and keeps the scores down. OK, those are givens. Cannot wait to see in person, going to be there for the Nebraska game, and probably the Grambling game as well. Glass half full, looks like some of the transfers are earning their keep (unlike last year), and when get into B10 season, will pay dividends.
