Do you part for the team. Move in with them!
My step bother-in-law loves me because every time I go up to my father-in-laws house, where he is at, to watch the Buckeyes, we win or kill the opp.! He said I am great luck! I love that sh*t man!
GO BUCKS! CHRIS WELLS AND ARAM!

OHIO STATE 77 | WISCONSIN 67
OSU finally hits threes to subdue Wisconsin
Buckeyes survive despite poor free-throw shooting

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
</IMG> NEAL C . LAURON | DISPATCH Ohio State’s Jamar Butler, left, stops Wisconsin’s Kammron Taylor in his tracks during the first half.
No matter how many they miss, you will never hear coach Thad Matta tell his players to stop flinging three-point shots.
After more exasperation in the first half against Wisconsin last night, a handful of three-pointers finally fell in the second, and they helped the Ohio State men’s basketball team finally fell the Badgers in Value City Arena and hand them their first Big Ten loss of the season.
Two of nine from outside the arc in the first half to extend a drought that had begun against Michigan State on Sunday, the Buckeyes made their first four of the second. It gave them a nine-point cushion to work with for the final 12 min-
game. They milked it to the finish for a 77-67 victory despite some nonunion brickwork at the free-throw line in the final 93 seconds.
"I think we took all really good shots, and that’s one of the big keys for us," Matta said. "That was something coming off the Michigan State game that we talked about, getting not a good shot but a great shot if we can get it."
The Buckeyes shot their worst percentage from the field (.329) in Matta’s season and a half as coach against Michigan State on Sunday. They made 7 of 29 three-point attempts. They shot 60.9 percent in the second half against Wisconsin and made 5 of 6 beyond the arc.
Ohio State (13-2, 3-2), ranked No. 19 nationally, beat No. 15 Wisconsin (14-3, 4-1) in Value City Arena for the first time since 2001 and for only the second time in their past nine games against each other.
Terence Dials scored 15 points and Matt Sylvester, Jamar Butler and Ron Lewis added 14 apiece to lead the Buckeyes, who beat a ranked team for the first time this season. In their two earlier games against ranked opponents, they had lost by two points at Indiana and by three points in double overtime to Michigan State.
"We knew we had to get this one," Sylvester said. "That’s why this win feels so good. You tell yourselves your backs are against the wall, and when you get it, it feels all the more special."
Alando Tucker and Kammron Taylor led Wisconsin with 21 points apiece.
The Badgers played without two top reserves, center Greg Stiemsma (illness) and forward Marcus Landry (one-game ineligibility).
Ohio State held Wisconsin to one field goal in the final 5:54, a full-court drive by Tucker with 31.2 seconds left. The Badgers’ only other points during that stretch were four free throws by Taylor.
"Right at the end, if we score on about three or four possessions where we had a decent shot, you get it to two or three . . . who knows?" Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan said.
The defensive effort helped the Buckeyes survive missing 7 of 13 free throws in the final 1:33.
"Sometimes it seemed like there was a lid on the basket," said OSU guard Je’Kel Foster, whose shooting slump continued for the second straight game. One of the Big Ten’s top percentage shooters, Foster made 1 of 3 three-pointers and 2 of 7 free throws.
But the one three he made was big.
After two three-pointers by Butler and one apiece by Sylvester and Ivan Harris helped the Buckeyes break from a 31-31 halftime tie to a 52-43 lead with 12:11 remaining, Wisconsin closed to 65-61 with 5:55 to go.
Foster missed a three on Ohio State’s next possession and missed 1 of 2 free throws on the next. But after the Buckeyes got another stop, he came off a screen to catch an inbounds pass and bury a three from the right wing to increase the lead to 69-61 with 4:20 left. Dials’ baseline hook less than a minute later made the lead 10 points.
Then it was just a matter of finishing off the Badgers at the foul line, which proved easier said than done. But done just the same.

Woody Rules!
yeah, I hadn't ever seen him before last night, and it was eerie how much he looked like C Rock. I'm sure he hears it all the time, too. He's a good player, though.
I'll bet his girlfriend looks ecactly like a movie star - say, Cherlize Theron, for example!

Let the cards fall...
Man, how in the hell could you guys (that were there) watch the game when ESPN had their sideline chick walking around? She was smoking hot!
I thought Ron Lewis had a great game last night. SYL. can hit the 3's but he is lacking in every other aspect of his game. Foster is still slumping, but plays great defense. Dials is still playing too passively inside, I'd love to see him get a mean streak, but it probably won't happen.
Great win, and great turnout last night in the Schott.

My thoughts on the win over Wisconsin:
After our tough loss at home against MSU, this game was gut check time.
Last night this team played hard and with a ton of intensity on the defensive side of the court. We held them to just 37.9% shooting from the field, including a 6-24 effort from behind the arc, 25.0%. We held them in check on the boards, 35-36 in favor of Wisconsin. This was one of the keys in my opinion prior to the game.
Defense
We held them to just 37.9% shooting from the field, including a 6-24 effort from behind the arc, 25.0%. We kept our defensive intensity for most of the game. We continue to have lapses where we do not rotate over and Sylvester was exposed on several drives to the hoop.
GRADE: B+
Rebounding
This was one of the keys in my opinion prior to the game. We held them in check on the boards, 35-36 in favor of Wisconsin. We continue to give up offensive rebounds, 15 last night to Wisconsin. Dials had 6 rebounds, but no offensive, he needs to improve in this area. Sullinger grabbed 6 rebounds, 2 being offensive, he had a difficult match-up all game and fouled out late. Butler and Foster chipped in with 5 apiece.
GRADE: B-
Offense
We rebounded from our horrible shooting effort against MSU, shooting 53.8% from the field and 46.7% from downtown. Wisconsin is known for solid defense, so this was a good sign that our shooting against MSU was a fluke. What impressed me early was that we went into Dials early and often. Dials was the focal point of every offensive set, wether it was a pick and roll or setting a screen for a preimeter shot. Dials was very solid, but the player of the game was Butler (14 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 0 turnovers), he made some key shots and look very comfortable out there. No turnovers is the key stat here. Sylvester continues to have play well in stretches and then has lapses (3 turnovers), he needs to be more consistent. Harris came in and gave some quality minutes. Lewis is the "X" factor, when he plays well we are tough to beat, he displayed is uncanny ability to get the rim on several drives. Our shot selection was very good and our distribution of shots was very good, 4 players in double figures and 1 with 9 points.
Breakdown:
Dials: 15 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist.
Butler: 14 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.
Sylvester: 14 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists.
Lewis: 14 points, 4 rebounds.
Foster: 9 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist.
Harris: 6 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist (13 minutes)
Grade: A
Overall, a very good win over a ranked team that was undefeated in conference play. We needed to come out and establish that we are a contender for the Big Ten crown and I think we did that.
Next up....Saturday at Penn State.
