Tate's upper arms are fat.

only williams and bell are developed. loving is weak and skinny-fat. lyle is skinny-fat. tate is pudgy. kbd and thompson lack definition.

amir williams was a taller marc loving. deshaun thomas had one of the worst bodyfat percentages at his combine. sam thompson started out as a twig and finished as a twig. d'angelo was undefined. lenzelle was undefined. buford was undefined. laquinton was slightly skinny-fat, mostly undefined. and so on and so on.

richardson is a horrible strength coach. just horrible. sure, the burden of the player's body composition is largely on the player, but richardson is the common denominator throughout the seasons. he must have naked pictures of some important person; otherwise, i can't explain how he's been retained.

Always one of the weakest teams I see in college basketball. Don't finish through contact, grab rebounds, etc. Just soft- mentally and physically.

Jae'sean Tate has the build of someone who is supposed to go to college and then become a prototypical "tight end" on the court. He was recruited at 190-200 lbs. He's now listed as 230 pounds. Does it look like he's added 30 pounds of bone and muscle to you? Me neither. He plays hard, though, so it leaves me scratching my head...he seems like someone who would put in the effort in the weight room. I would guess these guys have a steady diet of weed, snacks, and Mountain Dew, but I don't know.

I've been complaining about that for years. It's almost as if it's intentional "don't want to bulk up for basketball" mentality, and then get pushed around by other B10 teams.

In addition, with that list of players above, how many improved during they're time at OSU? Are any of the players on this year's team improved from last year?

The program is certainly down and could use a shot int he arm, but its unfair to say its trash.

If you don't have great individual talents, it takes 5 guys working together. We don't play well as a team and that is a failure of the staff.

It's why we need basketball players not athletes or we need to get back to the basics of the game that should have been learned well before college.

Aren't ALL late game fouls intentional/flagrant? Never see guys make plays on the ball. This one gets called...because #BigTenRefs

That was a terrible call. I would like to see those officials make that call in a NCAA tournament game or even in another conference game. While it was intentional,, all of us have seen much worse..

That call was very similar to Bob "the color commentator" of this game. He was terrible.. At the beginning of the game Tate made a short left-handed hook as did a Minnesota player and the guy raved about right-handed players making left-handed hooks. He had no idea Tate was left-handed. There were other comments during the game but BTN needs to look for some decent basketball commentators.

Even looking at the schedule optimistically I only project 6-12 in the B1G, which would make the Bucks 16-15 overall.

20 wins? Fuhgeddaboudit. :bonk:

I used to follow OSU basketball and recruiting intensely - watched every game, etc.

I haven't watched more than maybe 4 games this year because it's the same thing now, every year. I'm apathetic which is absolutely pitiful for OSU basketball.

Luke Kennard, Carlton Bragg, Omari Spellman, Esa Ahmad....these guys should be on that court out there, I shouldn't be listening to talks about Micah Potter and David Bell and etc. etc.

In Cleveland on 92.3 they were talking about coaching replacements as they think Thad will walk out on his own accord and they thought the two top names would be Archie Miller and Chris Mack....at this point I don't care if you roll Keith Dambrot out there....OSU basketball has made the mistake of Texas football, hanged on too long to a coach that wasn't working. When you start the year and HOPE to just make March Madness, expectations are not where they should be. When you say you think we'll start conference play 2-3 and you are the most optimistic one, things aren't right!
