Buckeyes face a tough road test after the tough loss to Purdue.

 

[OHSportsFan]

Well, IU just went on the road and beat Iowa so anything is possible?

 

[OHSportsFan]

Aaand the black uniform fad has made its way to the hardwood.



I’ll never understand not wearing your actual school colors/brand. Hate when I turn a game on and it takes me a while to even realize who’s who- with everyone wearing black and gray in football.

Whatever. Also won’t lose sleep about it. Just win.

 

[ShowMeBuck]

Yeah, no thanks.


Those may be the ugliest Unis I’ve ever seen.

Correction. Those are the ugliest.

I actually really like the scarlet with the dark grey anthracite. Love it.

 

[nomatta]

I don't understand trying to bring him back this quickly. How much could his hand possibly have healed?

Ah well, maybe it will just be situational minutes.

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Yeah, a guy who struggles shooting with 2 good hands just makes the offense, such as it is, even easier to defend. I’m happy to have him down the stretch for ball handling and free throws, though.

 

[Bestbuck36]

Mistake by CJ imo. Trying to play and being ready aren't the same. This isn't football where runs aren't a much a thing. In basketball a team can control and win the game based on a big run. If he's not 100% they should hold him out. That's for his benefit aff welll as the team

 

[HenryMuto]

Would be a huge win if we can get it today. Would have make up for that painful loss on Tuesday.

I don't think how the Bucks lost the last game, and CJ being active today, are coincidental.

I don't expect him to have a lot of minutes, but if it's close late he's probably out there.

 

[Jake]

Yeah, I hate to see OSU get caught up in it but the kids seem to love it.

 

[Jaxbuck]

Feels like they lost one they shouldn't have last time out so maybe they'll steal one they have no business winning today.

CBB, anything can happen.

Okay, they do look better seeing them now. Looked black in the photos. Glad they're gray.

I want to think along these lines too. It’s late January, it’s cold across the region, teams are about halfway through the conference. Not too surprising to see one team hit a wall or another sneak up and put one together. Anything can happen and it’s not indicative of the team’s overall standing.

One of the best sayings I’ve heard from a college basketball coach was, over the course of a season a team will play 10 games above their level, 10 games at their level and 10 games below. A good coach’s job is to get as many wins as he can out of the 10 average/below average outings.
