Some of the guys on this team are the most brain dead individuals I have ever seen! If bad judgement each possession was worth a nickel I could retire on the last two year's play alone.....
Bunch of glory hounds......

It's really unbelievable. Balls just going through guys hands, throwing it right to the other team, etc.. Same shit that resulted in 20 turnovers against Virginia

I'm not a fan of knee-jerk December reactions in cbb, but I'm gonna give one, anyway...I will be SHOCKED if this team sniffs the tournament. Too many of the same weaknesses have carried over from last year, even 2014-15, and I don't think Matta has it in him to get them right anymore. I'll go further and say if this season follows a similar arc to last year, and it just may be worse, 17/18 will be a hotseat year for Matta...if not sooner. The recruiting has fallen off drastically, and he's not the kind of coach that can win without good players.

Matta took this program to heights it hasn't experienced in four decades, but how much rope do you extend when his program is drifting into total irrelevance? Yeah, you will have a hard time finding somebody that can get them where Thad had them from '05-'12...but I don't think it'll be too hard to find an upgrade over what they've been the last 3-4 years.

Bad times for Buckeye basketball.

Really starting to doubt whether Thad has it in him. Totally uncharacteristic to just blow these games to horrible teams at HOME. Before last year didn't he have like zero losses to unranked nonconference teams at home? Now he has 5 in the last two seasons?

Who can win without good players? The days of the "Thad Five" seem like a distant memory. We're not even getting one of those kind of guys now, much less five of them.
