#4 tOSU at Penn State, Thurs. 2-18, 8 ET on BTN

Buckeyes were very resiliant tonight. Thought Penn St was gonna win for a bit, then somethings just clicked. Bench scoring tremendous, and foul shooting - out the roof. over 80%. (not used to seeing that from the men). Kinda thought the refs were trying to hand PSU the game around the 10 minute mark in second half. Some pretty ticky-tack fouls called against the guys in scarlet, and very few against PSU. Or said another way, tOSU got called for the fouls, and somehow a Buckeye was on the floor, and the game played on. tOSU had a couple two/three runs, 12-0 and 15-0 that erased a 7 point deficit and put the good guys up 5 or so, and that was all she wrote. No quit in PSU either. Holtmann did a marvelous job of rotating big bodies in and out, according to fresh legs, and fouls. He got all he could out of EJ, and without keeping him on the pine by fouling out. Man that team plays well together. Glad to see Musa get some minutes (my personal fave - along with Young), and do some scoring and defending the guy who couldn't miss a three. Didn't see too many uncontested shots - from either side, but they all seemed to find the bottom of the nets. Oh well, savor this victory and on to Meatchicken on Sunday! Go Bucks!

I'll never forget this one. Every game like this cannot be taken for granted. My grandma, perhaps the biggest Buckeyes fan ever to live, passed away tonight. I have honestly been such an absolute wreck and can't even pretend to have my shit together. But the last time I got to be with her, she was enthusiastic in talking about the Buckeyes basketball team and March Madness.

I might be gone from BP for awhile my friends, but will be rooting our Buckeyes on.

RB07, also express condolences. Hopefully she saw the Buckeyes whomp up on PSU. Believe you had another meaning, about taking things for granted. Concur wholeheartedly. Still miss calling home and hearing my Dad say "Hallllo". Know that your grandmother now has a very good seat in the 'stadium in the sky' to watch Buckeye wins.
