2013-14 Ohio State Men's Basketball (Official Thread)

It has been a tough 4-game stretch for OSU, but I think to an extent the quality of opposition has been underrated. Three of four games on the road and 3 of those 4 teams are among the top-6 of the B1G and the other was a road game against a team that is probably going to wind up winning almost all of their home games this year.
You really think that Nebraska is going to beat MSU, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, and possibly Minnesota at their place. Please…

Miles can coach. He did good things at Colorado State with middle of the road talent. Kids play hard for him. I expect Neb to be in the top half of the conference for years to come.

Agreed. They're tough at home -- beat OSU, beat Minnesota and should've beaten Michigan (lost by 1, and gave the game away at that). They've yet to figure things out on the road (lost to OSU by 31, lost to a terrible PSU team, for example), but they're definitely headed in the right direction.

It's still early in the season - but I can't remember when so many of the BIG Ten schools were in this tight of a race. The 2 strongest for this year, looks to be Michigan and Michigan St. But nobody in this conference is going to run away and hide. The BIG Ten tournament could be full of surprises

Every team should of beat Michigan right? Lol you have so many excuses for EVERY single game they play. I remember weeks ago you said they would lose most there games in this hard "4-5" game stretch.

Right on cue, the chest-thumping begins. I guess it's probably nice for you to see some daylight again after having to hide on each of October 12, November 2, November 9, November 23, November 30, and December 28. :lol:

Are you scared some Meechigan fans are going to chest thump? Why would I chest thump, my team lost. But, So that is why you will not give them there due when every other team in this conference clearly is and all your doing is making excuses after excuses? How old are you?

And I do not need to hide, I do not act like a crazy dude who thinks they are actually playing the games itself , and therefor they can say what ever they want too any one because of there teams success . I like discussing Big ten sports but it makes me chuckle reading from the first page to this page and all I see is u repeatedly saying " this team sucks...o wait they won, but should have lost, .... the other team was sleep walking..... o wait there player was hurt it does not count..... well minesotta lost by one but should have won by one...... just wait for this brutal 4 game stretch they will get exposed, they are not good like you guys think...." You crack me up sin.

We'll see how things sit when the season is finished. But I have to admit that the Weasels are playing a lot better sans McGary than I thought they would.

Hell, I didn't think they'd play this well with McGary. Too bad, as I liked Wolverines-as-road-kill a lot better.

This isn't a serious post, right? :lol: You're not exactly making the "Harvard of the West" look very good with your complete inability to understand and/or use basic rules of grammar and spelling if so.

As for UM, they've exceeded expectations in winning their first seven conference games, sure. But they won by single digits in five of those seven games. Sooner or later, the ball will not bounce their way down the stretch, their opponent will not be missing its best two players, etc. They're extremely fortunate to be where they are, and if you don't see gaping holes on that team (lack of anything resembling an inside presence being one of them), then I'm not sure what else I can tell you. Right now, they're a team that's overachieving, and I expect them to revert back to the mean. Hard.

One final thing--if you really think anyone is buying that you're an MSU fan who has shown up on a Buckeye website in order to defend Michigan, then you know as little about the Michigan-Michigan State rivalry as you do college basketball.

Ohio State basketball fans. You do realize that this is the official thread for Ohio State basketball. If you want to talk about the Weasels or Huskers, they do have separate threads and you can talk about all the B1G basketball teams in that thread.
