#12 Ohio State 61, Northwestern 52 (Final)

Thanks to Dials we are holding them off!!! What an amazing second half. STRONG STRONG HALF FOR DIALS!!! Is he not turning into the Big Man that this team desperately needs!

Is there any question that Northwestern just wants it more?

Looks like Terence Dials wants it more!!!

We have played this game to Northwestern's tempo, perhaps because of the limitations on the bench and the tiredness. A very ugly affair that I will be happy to get out of with a win.

Sullinger did not need to give that foul away!

By the time this game finishes, we likely will have shot 30 more FTs than them (they have only shot 2). Keep that in mind next time we get upset about unfair foul calls (I think this is a little different than the Wisky game, however I have a hard time believing they didn't deserve at least a couple more trips).

Wow, the free throw disparity in this game is amazing. I think it shows the intensity NW showed on defense as opposed to the Bucks.

In the end though, Terence Dials showed why he is the most important piece of the puzzle.

I really do not believe that. Its been a game where our shots weren't falling and we started pressing.

Really? Did you not watch how lazy Butler looked running the offense and how all it took was some pressure defense from NW's guards to make him look silly. We all know Butler is usually a steady player - possibly the most consistent in the Big Ten. To see that happen, shows me that he and a lot of others on this team did not have their heads in the game.

Missing 3s doesn't simply mean they weren't going down. I think this team just didn't have their focus today.

Off day shooting from the outside & from the line (at least for Dials) with lapses of intensity and defensive concentration...I'll be really happy to "escape" this one with a W.

But in the Big Ten, I'll take any win, especially this late in the year.

T.D. was huge at the end of this one.

Give that game ball to Terence Dials! What an amazing last 3 minutes by Terence Dials. Did you just see that? It looks like there were 9 boys out there...and then Terence Dials. He was just A FORCE down the stretch. WHEW!!! Another Big 10 win. 8-4. Do you think Dials could make a case for player of the week?
