Cupps 2 fouls in 3 minutes.

Well if OSU doesn't win this game, you can't fault the start. Double-digit lead midway thru the first half 26-15.

You know where apathy starts? Recruiting guys who don't play with maximum effort and guys that aren't physically big, strong, tough and athletic enough to compete. This is the #1 area where OSU basketball recruiting needs to change, and until it does, we're not going to see another team with...

Baloney. MAC teams play buy games all the time, but Miami chose not to this season.

I would have them out if they don't win the MAC tournament. I don't care that you win every game in the MAC, if you have no quality wins and choose not to challenge yourself in nonconference, you don't deserve an at-large.

Miami (OH) is about to move to 22-0. Pretty shocking for a MAC team, but if you look at their schedule, they didn't really challenge themselves in nonconference play. Air Force is probably the biggest name they've played all season, unless you count UMass (who's in the MAC now).

As disappointing as this game was, I believe if the Buckeyes had a legit big man who could control the paint defensively and convert around the basket, they could have won this game. Tilly and Njegovan were 0-11 from the field combined for 0 points in 30 minutes, and the misses were all...

You're right, that's been the one constant with three coaches over practically 10 years now, not enough dogs, too many puppies. Wisconsin really exposed OSU's lack of post presence - both offensively and defensively, it was embarrassing. Blackwell for Wisconsin is the perfect example of the...

Well obviously this game is over, but they need to let Tilly rest and get right. OSU is not going to win tough games down the stretch without any offense from the post position.

Frustrating. I realize he's not 100%, but you're already in the air, you can just tap it in from that position, you don't have to catch it & guide it.

How did Tilly not convert the lob?!? Crazy.

OSU's big man platoon of Tilly and Njegovan are 0-10 from the field (all good chances) while Wisconsin is up by 10. If there's one position that's costing OSU this game, it's the post position.

JFC. Tilly in position for the rebound, mistimes his jump, and gives up the offensive rebound. Now Bucky at the foul line for 2.

There's 10 minutes left but with Wisconsin up 10, it feels over already.

LOL. I will say it was frustrating seeing him pass the ball with like 2 on the shot clock.

Yeah, defense is not a strength for this program, and it hasn't been for a while. I think part of the problem is they target offensive skillset in recruiting and just think they will be able to coach them up on D. The reality is you should prioritize getting guys who have elite quickness and...

If I told you before the game Thornton would have 7, Mobley 5, Royal 4 and Tilly 0 (on 0-6 shooting) & Wisconsin scored 49 the first half, you'd probably take a 6-point halftime deficit with that info. Chatman and Bynum keeping the offense afloat, but gotta find some answers defensively.

Wisconsin shot 57% from the field and 47% (7-15) from 3. Not sure what the Buckeyes can change up defensively to hold them down more, but whatever they tried the first half (not guarding Rapp closely seemingly was part of the plan) certainly didn't work.

Tilly was 0-6 in the first half, and all of them were in the high-percentage shot category. I get that he's been the best big this season, but he can't be the best right now.

Badgers lead 49-43 at half. OSU could not get any stops defensively the first half, if that continues they have no chance to win this game.
