#5 Ohio State 59, Northwestern 50 (Final)

[Best Buckeye]

I said it during the Tennessee game.....until we get leadership from the veterans we will have games like this...

IMO we will end up with an Oden led team. 20 games in and we wonder about senior leadership?

Ivan has taken up the slack left by Butler and Cook

 

[Mike80]

Come on Harris, set your feet....

It almost went in too which is the funny part....

NW will start fouling now.

perfect example of Ivan fading back and to his right on that 3...it drives me nuts when he does that.

I am not wondering about senior leadership 20 games in, I have been saying it since the first game......it has been inconsistent at best and we are very talented but we will face some obstacles down the stretch against better teams then NW.....we will need Butler and Lewis to play like leaders on the court and off.

 

[Mike80]

FT good by Butler....

FT good by Butler....
