We definitely need a strong portal season. There's potential for a good core group coming back, and when you add in Thompson, they have the makings of a decent team, but it's really easy to slip and take a step back if they make the wrong choices. They need to add at least two big-time...

Tilly should have been a backup at OSU, as he obviously is the type of player that is not capable of consistent success at the highest level in college basketball. He had a skillset that fit, just not the strength and athleticism to excel when the going got tough. Moving towards next season...

For sure. They need some dawgs, no more puppies.

You gotta blame Diebler for that game, right? Jon was there ...

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...

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.

Thank you, Bruce. Forever a Buckeye Legend. :oh::io:

I knew the Buckeyes weren't winning it all this season, but it's still disappointing to lose the first game, especially to a system team that you could have been prepared for.

Mobley just 3-11 from 3 this game which is not good. I wonder how he misses so many shots, it seems like every one is going to go in when he releases it, but 3-11 is not what the team needed today. Maybe he would shoot better if he slowed down a little.

Yeah, that was crazy.

A lot of what happens next year depends on how they finish out the roster. I realize the results in the portal have been poor (for the most part) so far ... which begs the question, will Diebler get good players in the portal this season? I hate to say it, but with NIL being problematic, I am...

Well you can't control whether the refs call fouls but I do fault this team for reliance on hero ball instead of teamwork. This is another reason lack of depth hurts, you can't leave guys on the bench if they aren't executing the gameplan.

I get it, man. This is a very discouraging loss. All OSU had to do was play as a TEAM and operate with a strategy designed to play against TCU. Apparently Diebler thinks he can just coach his offense in every game. Nah, sometimes you have to work with what the opposing defense gives you. In...

Hate to say it, but you're right. No excuse for being demolished in the first half, they knew who they were playing and had plenty of time to prepare. There was no surprise defensive strategy out there for TCU.

Obviously this OSU team is not good at playing physical basketball, although they seemed to make some strides in recent weeks, they let it get away from them today. Got to play a stronger brand of basketball.

That's where the game was lost, letting them iso their big guy on Bynum deep in the post.

Miserable game.

Hate to say it, but Njegovan could have stopped that shot there. Diebler should be making Defense for offense substitutions.

Damn. Sucks to not be able to get a stop at the end.

Bruce!
