line has gone from osu -8.5 to -7.5 today. not too much of a move in light of the loss of duane. wouldn't be surprised if vegas already had the word prior to today.

i wonder how long until we see ahrens today. my guess is we see him in the first half and perhaps by the 8-minute mark.

It definitely makes sense to promote Ahrens to the playing group in place of Duane for the time being. I would put Andre back in the starting lineup, though, just add Ahrens to the bench group to enhance team shooting.

yeah, i can't imagine that ho1tmann won't go with andre in the starting lineup, especially since he's a seasoned senior and this is a road game. you could go with walker, carton, and muhammad to start, but that would be a big surprise. my guess is ahrens' entry has been predetermined based on his recent practices. if he doesn't find the court by halftime, then i'm going to assume that his practice time has been underwhelming.

Not having Washington hurts. I just hope he's good to go for Kentucky.

hope muhammad doesn't try to pick up the slack by heroballing, which i worry he'll try.

Every time Luther drives, a devil gets his pitchfork.

coach going a little bit overboard with the chapstick. he's got a waxy ring a good inch around his lips.

we need a chapstick-to-anxiety ratio for ho1tmann. this one looks pretty high. might take minny +7 because of the lathering.

not liking andre's new hairdo. preferred the fro. hope the hair is not where he hid his strength.

What do they get when Kaleb drives?

 

[Bestbuck36]

I feel like Kaleb is pressing a little bit. Just needs to relax and let the game settle for him without Washington in the lineup.

Awesome drive CJ!

 

[OSU_Buckguy]

walker already pushing transition twice looks like a schematic decision. could be a fun game for carton.

Love Kyle Young

First game I've got to watch start to finish. Hoping it's not a jinx.
