Gotham Classic: tOSU vs. Notre Dame, Sat 12/21 @ 7:30p ET, ESPN2

Can't make a three, can't make a layup. I should probably walk away now.

Yep - time to check to see how the BlowJackets are going to lose yet again....this one's ovah

 

[tsteele316]

Ross too soft there..

Par for the course for him. He'd be unstoppable if he wasn't charmin soft.

The recipe to beat this team: Throw an active zone at the Bucks offense, exploit Ross's defense.

That (playing zone) has been the issue since Diebler left....

And I don't see where that changes.

We talk about a veteran team, but that also means a lot of these guys have peaked. They are who they are- and that's very limited offensive players.

Hope someone proves me wrong or Thad grows one with some MiracleGrow.

I've been saying it since the beginning.

If they can hold teams in the low 50s, they're going to win most of their games.

When they can't, they're not going to win against legit competition, this team just isn't good offensively, including Ross. Ross can score pretty baskets, but as we've seen, there's no growl in his game, it's all jumpers and soft-drives/finger rolls at the hoop.

 

[Jake]

Indiana State put 83 on ND in ND's house. I guess it's a good thing we aren't playing the Sycamores.

 

[scarletmike]

That's it, right there. First loss of the season. Oh well.

 

[HenryMuto]

We are going to lose to a team that lost to North Dakota State...

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Wow. Their guards have hit some really tough shots tonight.

 

[OHSportsFan]

We are going to lose to a team that lost to North Dakota State...

But at least the Buckeyes beat them.

 

[Onebuckfan]

lenzelle cant disappear from the whole game if we are to win against competent teams

 

[scarletmike]

Holy shit...

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

15 points in the second half.

And all he'll breaks loose!

 

[OHSportsFan]

Wow. Their guards have hit some really tough shots tonight.

But good thing they are still freshman...rattle 'em!

Lenzelle has shown to be far too streaky to be counted upon for a whole season.

When Lenzelle/Thompson/Loving all disappear at the same time, the only scoring this team has is Ross and Amir and that's not exactly a certain situation by any stretch.

If this team even sniffs a regular season or Big Ten tournament title Matta needs to be COY. He's got his work cut out for him with this team offensively.
