I get it. But even on the West Coast there were a couple games & they do give you the schedule in advance. I personally went to two, one at home and one not at home. I'm sure many of us would go to more games if we were liking the product more.

If I were localish i'd make it to games here and there. The product being so meh right now has me not really wanting to travel to LA (3 hours) or Oregon/Washington to watch the basketball team though. I catch the football team anytime they are out here of course though.

I want to say one more thing about this game. The last play of the game isn't where OSU lost, IMO. You got surprised by TCU putting two guys guarding the inbounds pass with 4 seconds left & did not have a timeout. Obviously they didn't get what they wanted in that scenario, but putting the whole game on one play does a disservice to ignoring a real flaw in the team, which was interior defense. TCU was able to score near the basket over and over, their forwards were able to constantly get to the basket, get layups and get fouled, and OSU had very little in terms of strength, holding position, shotblocking and help defense to stop them. Plus they were able to get a ton of offensive rebounds. To me, this game was lost moreso on the defensive end where they failed to stop TCU from getting easy shot opportunities down the stretch. I'm a firm believer that in the NCAA tournament, when the going gets tough, the team that's tougher to score on in the paint wins, and OSU wasn't that team yesterday. In order for OSU to take the next step as a program, they need to be that team that's tougher to beat in the paint.

Exactly, the last 2 defensive possessions lost the game way more than having to try to score having to go full court with 4 seconds left

Wide open 3 and then the game winning easy short distance put in.

The dude gets uglier by the day and he really struggles to talk. And let’s talk about cheating while we’re at it.

This year is obviously a step forward compared to recent years. The real question is can it continue or is shit gonna fall off a cliff without having Bruce to lean on?

Where do you draw the line? What's an acceptable result next year? If it's the same or gets worse will you then offer criticism?

You still haven’t even bothered to talk about adjustments since what I posted kinda proves you wrong.

They will get criticized by me when I feel appropriate. There’s zero reason to lock in any expectations- as if anything from us idiot fans matter in that regard - until at least the end of the portal season. This weird obsession to be purposely negative without knowing any of the variables is telling.

@Mike80 if you want to laugh please explain how a coach possibly being hard set on sticking with position promises to players is helpful to the team when that player always being at the promised position isn't helping the team.

@buckeyemania11 if you want to laugh you could at least try to explain why the data point I posted blows away your incorrect assumption that Diebler can’t adjust and doesn’t know xs and os….derrrpppp

Congrats on your one data point. You still can't explain no adjustments till halftime in the TCU game.
