    2021 NCAA Tournament, Brackets and games

    LSU is actually a good offensive team, defense is their weakness. Believe it or not. It feels like a bunch of teams entered the Twilight Zone when the Dance started. It isn't just the upsets, it's how teams are playing. Us not being able to score on a bad defense and missing half our FTs when...

    #15 Oral Roberts vs #2 tOSU, Fri 3 ET on CBS

    If we had made it past ORU, we would have played drastically better against Florida. Not saying we would have won, but we would have made it close. Because that's the one thing this team did super consistently: made games close. Which is both a good (the comeback vs. Illinois) and bad...

    2020-2021 Ohio State Men's Basketball (Official Thread)

    And yet Rutgers, one of the few B1G teams we swept and handled easily this season, beat the higher seeded Clemson and advances. We beat Wiscy at their place, Wiscy who went 0-9 against teams that finished ahead of them in conference, and Wiscy blew out UNC to advance. Not saying the B1G wasn't...

    Chris Holtmann (ex-tOSU Bball coach, HC at DePaul)

    If next season is similar, what does Gene think? At this point it's hard to have a reasonable negative or positive opinion about Holtmann. Every season has been such a combination of highs and lows--if we struggle on D we are good on O and vice versa, if we win big one month we will lose a lot...

    Could be and I do agree the ACC and UNC aren't all that. Wisconsin were 0-9 against the teams ahead of them in conference. They didn't have a good conference season. But they're enjoying today a lot more than Purdue or OSU is, that's for sure.

    We beat ORU 6 out of 7. Too bad they got us at our worst possible. I think Wiscy beats UNC 3 out of 7. Today was one of their 3. In no way, shape, or form was Wiscy better than us this season. But they get to have a better postseason. I both love and hate March Madness. Today is just brutal.

    College basketball is a cruel mistress

    Thanks. I will try to stick around. Days like this make all the discussions feel kind of pointless, y'know? But this, too, shall pass.

    #15 Oral Roberts vs #2 tOSU, Fri 3 ET on CBS

    Bad time for their worst game of the season. They put way more effort into the BTT than they did into this game. Don't even know what to say about that. Can only hope Holtmann and these guys use this as a pretty bitter motivation to get better for next season. Cuz, yeah, no, this is not it.

    Indiana Hoosiers Basketball (Dead Program)

    IU has some extremely loaded and willing donors. Insane how much was donated just to fire Archie; someone decided it was worth $7 million not to wait a year. Probable, then, that they also have some someones who will fork over insane amounts of money to get them a coach they want. If you go to...

    I get you don't enjoy it as much, but it's just the math of winning. Taking either the highest percentage shot, or the shot that gets you more points.

    He is gonna have a rough first couple years but none of that says anything about how good of a hire he will be long-term. Realistically I don't think PSU was gonna land some huge splash of a name that would keep Chambers' guys there when they can transfer without penalty, so smart to go with a...

    I think Pitino is a so-so coach but pretty good recruiter. If he can recruit at a similar level for the Lobos--and I think he can--he could do pretty well in a conference that is substantially weaker than the B1G. But yeah, "deep tournament runs" must mean his NIT Championship, lol.

    That was a great BTT for OSU but also a grueling one. 4 games in 4 days and fighting on through losing one of their most important players on Friday through 2 OTs to end finally in a loss yesterday. Is there a word that is a combination of "yay" and "oof"? Maybe "yoof"? I hope they can find the...

    2021 NCAA Tournament, Brackets and games

    Hey, if we even play Baylor we are in the Elite 8. Just praying we get past the Round of 32 this season. Not only would I be disappointed to not make the S16 after how this team has fought through the season and earned a 2-seed, but it'd be a whole other year of hearing how R32 is Holtmann's...
