With the Wesson suspension, I cannot see us winning any of the 3 regular season games and if we would happen to lose our first game in the Big Ten tournament I think we could easily be left out of the Dance.

I think OSU could still beat NW without him. They were going to lose at Purdue regardless. Wisconsin is the game that I'm not sure about. We will get a chance to see how replaceable he is on this team.

I think we could beat Northwestern without him if we were playing them here and I also think that we might have had a shot at Wisconsin with him in the lineup.. I just do not have that much confidence in Young against NW's Pardon. I do not know I am just really pissed off at KW

One thing I will point out ... if there is a chasm between the defense of Kaleb and that of the backup bigs, it would stand to reason that OSU should play small ball against a team like Northwestern that has limited size to start with.

Without KW, we are playing small ball with any other 4 that we put out there so we probably will be playing small ball unless KW is allowed to play.

I feel like to make the tournament OSU needs 1 more win. 18-14 may not be enough.

if we lose to wisconsin ("if"... :lol:), beat rutgers/illinois/whoever in tournament, and then lose the next game, i think we're going to be completely at the whim of other conference tournament outcomes. i don't think the aforementioned game outcomes make us a tournament team without help. the committee will excuse us for the purdue and wisconsin losses since we're without kaleb. however, there is no looking past this 18-point loss to a bad northwestern team breaking a 10-game losing stream.

BTN essentially summed it up nicely for me- Ohio State needs to beat 1 more team that is IN the tournament. They're currently only guaranteed an opportunity against Wisconsin Sunday.

Now that they've dropped to an 8/9 matchup, that Illinois game won't do it. So they'd have to win 2 next week. Good luck with either of those scenarios...
