Since Conley left OSU has had an All Big 10 calibur point guard 2 of the 3 years. OSU has the best pg in the big 10, bigger problem is the center position and no backups who bring as much as the starters. Most teams have questions who will be the starter, because the backups are on the same...

It was reported last year that he is like 28 years old and graduated 4 years ago, maybe hes a grad students? I know that there is a lot of animosity towards him, mainly because he shows up at game time (the other kids in the front row tend to show up hours before) and demands attention etc....

Different Diebler this half. If he is getting open like that, OSU will make this a game.

The only time OSU's zone really works is when the other team is cold. If Hummel was 3-10, which is his average, the zone would be considered a success, even though he would have gotten a ton of open looks. The zone was a smart idea. Purdue isnt that great from 3. However, when its clear that...

Its rare that I expect OSU to lose, but it would have taken a heroic effort from OSU to win this game in their current situation. However, its unacceptable when you allow a player to score that many points in the first half. Absolutely no use of subs. The way they were playing zone, was actually...

The refs are bad, but the coaching in this game on OSU's side is embarassing. I dont know of many major coaches that would allow a guy to hit 8 3's in a half. The switch to man to man with 1 minute in is so late its not funny. Other than Buford and Turner no one else should have gotten off...

Also Turner's 2 turnovers in the second half is not what led to the run that sealed the game. The trapping hurt, but that was 2 turnovers on Turner. What hurt more was the fact that no one guarded the best 3 point shooter in the big 10 Blake Hoffarber.

Read what you wrote. You said once the rust wears off "he will be tearing it up again." You didnt say, "He will be even better." What you wrote is still there, I mean you can edit it, but Turner had a great game. Dribbling into traps shouldnt happen, but you have to cross mid court within 10...

The person whose confidence is a concern is Diebler. He is shooting 31% outside of Columbus for the year. 5 out of the last 8 games hes scored single digits, and thats while playing 38 minutes per game. Also in the 8 games since Turner went down, Diebler has 7 assists. A guard cannot be...

Not to be a stickler, but I have no clue what you are talking about. Evan Turner had one of his best games in his career at Minny. 19 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 steals, 2 blocks, shot 56% from the field. He had 4 turnovers, but thats not an insane number considering he had 7 assists...

Ive seen Thomas in person several times and I have watched quite a few entire games of his online. Several are available. If you dont think Lauderdale and Lighty are athletic freaks I really cant help you. Both can rebound well, and I did list them in the second tier. Neither are game...

Anyone else think Turner looked more comfortable with the ball last night than he ever has. He looked more like a pg than I have seen from him and he looked completely fearless that he might lose the ball. His best pass of the night wasnt an assist, he did a no look pass while driving to...

My logic is it might be safer to have him play tonight. If hes healthy and he cant hurt himself go for it. Let him come in, see how he feels, and hopefully OSU is up pretty good that he can come out and there will be no pressure to leave him in. Imagine Minnesota, the game is 50-52, with 10...

Oh I dont always believe ranking sites, I am just saying, even the sites dont seem to have a legitimate gripe about his game. The kid is 6'7, he hustles, plays with passion, can shoot (sometimes too much I will give them...not a ball hog, but will pass up driving lanes to pull up), can and will...

I have been following basketball recruiting for years. I really have to question if something is wrong with my eyes, or my head, but how is Deshaun Thomas no the number 1 ranked high schooler in the country? How is he not even top 10? I know hes had some issues over the summer with health...

That pretty much is the perfect comment/explanation and sums up everything right there.

I agree with everything you said. Although I do think Dallas brings a little bit of a post presence. They just need to dump it down to him. Right now when they do he is in that mindset where he feels he cannot pass because how many touches the rest of the game will he get. With Turner out...

Hope would be that he dresses for the Indiana game, but doesnt play till the minnesota game. Wont really know anything till the X-rays tomorrow, but thats the hope. He can run in short bursts, he can jump, and they say theres no danger of reinjuring it, so I bet for a game, the adrenaline will...

Dallas was a tip shot away from scoring 10 and he had 8 boards and 2 blocks. To me that is "a" post player, but I completely agree we need another. Lauderdale's conditioning isnt perfect and the refs swallowed their whistles today which helped, but still Dlaud could only play 27 minutes. I...

Several shots seemed to have spun out of the rim as well. On both sides. The players all look really winded too. Wonder what the temp in that gym is right now, maybe its sweat?
