you know muhammad and washington are in the doghouse when the freshman guard who just racked up 7 turnovers might be starting in their spot.

I did not think that Walker played all that well against Indiana or Maryland but neither did any of the other three so I guess it is take your pick. I would guess that Carton is off the ball. Just cannot see him playing PG right now so Walker will probably get the nod at PG but call me concerned.

walker, carton, washington, and muhammad in losses to iu/md/uw/wvu:

35/122 (29%) overall
16/61 (26%) behind the arc
105 points
21 assists
33 turnovers


if we take our four guards over the last four games and average them out to one player's stat line for one game, this is roughly what it comes out to...

7 points (2/8 overall and 1/4 from three), 1 assist, and 2 turnovers


if that's your backcourt player's average stat line, you will win very few meaningful games. you can certainly get by with a backcourt of four players scoring 28 points, but it's the inefficiency that kills us. we're wasting so many possessions.

Fred Hoiberg's first game vs OSU since the 2013 NCAA tournament, when Aaron Craft hit the 3 at the buzzer to send the Buckeyes to the Sweet 16. Hard to believe OSU hasn't been back to the Sweet 16 since that season.

Anxious to watch how Duane responds to the open criticism by coach.

Alright....the Clemson curse is over. Get back in the W column tonight.
