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

I didn’t say he should be fired nor did I say he couldn’t coach.

He’s had issues with closing games during the most important stretch of the season. Part of that is coaching and knowing what to do when the team starts to struggle. I think he’s a good coach, but I think he has limitations. This wasn’t a completely isolated, random upset.

"He", like any coach, can only do so much. He can't shoot free throws that would ice the game. He can't stop DWJ when he gets in hero ball mode - it's not like he's a rookie coach finding his way. "Closing games" is more about execution than anything a coach can do or say. The players have to avoid dumb turnovers, take good shots, and make their free throws. The Buckeyes struggled with that late in games despite having leads. They didn't handle the pressure well.

Had the Bucks made the shots they normally make, and didn't pass up layups for three balls against a team with no interior defense, the ORU game doesn't come down to the wire. Blaming the coach for all of that is easy because it's lazy. This is the same coach who took Illinois to OT in the B1G title game. Amazing how he looks a lot smarter when the players do their jobs properly. Go figure.

If any of you fuckers in these threads are the ones sending threats to Liddell (or any other player, in any sport) then you should be totally ashamed of yourself and I dare you to stop hiding behind your keyboard and head down to xxx Nelson Pl. Apt xxx, Newport KY. 41071 so I can kick the shit out of you for it. I'm waiting.

If you'd actually read this thread, you'd see that these clowns have been roundly condemned, and everyone wants them outed and possibly prosecuted. The O-Zone is the forum you're looking for.

The game was definitely a bummer, but I’ve got to be completely honest. College Basketball is just kinda “meh” to me. Like I probably enjoy Buckeye hockey just as much at this point.

That being said, can it be August already?

Agree. I was actually more into the Wales rugby game this weekend than the Buckeye hoops game. And Buckeye hockey is definitely my second Ohio State sport, though this year was a huge disappointment.

If you are the guy who dented my car in the Kroger parking lot and didn't leave a message - FUCK YOU. Assholes like you are the reason life is way more fucking hard than it has to be. You're a douchebag and a fucking waste of air. Go to hell, you son of a bitch.

Three times, actually... As bad as my bracket is, I still (somehow) have my final 4 intact... One of them is Syracuse
When I was a kid my mom would go to the store while the rest of us watched football. And if we were losing when she got back....she'd walk in the door, see the score, and loudly proclaim "You're losing?!". Not in a mocking way....just a statement of kinda shock with some fact mixed in. And it was like......I love you because you're my mom, but fuck you.

You're not anybody's mom.
