NW'ern +12.5 vs #1 tOSU (ov/un 137.5) Fri Noon ET, ESPN

[Jake]

Good thing we're killing them on the boards. We've needed all of them.

Man, took him about 5 full seconds of flailing at Sully before they finally called anything. Ridiculous. At least he hit a FT. 40-42.

 

[Jake]

9 of 10 from the line. At least those are going in for us.

Nice to see Diebs looking to take it to the rack.

 

[scarletmike]

Really wishing I would have waited and bet on the under.

Diebs gets back to the line, and makes one. Up by 3.

 

[Jake]

Threes aren't falling so we're driving more and going to the line. Sometimes you have to grind it out. Helps to make the FTs, though.

43-40, 7:42, time out NU

They REALLY slow it down for us. They put up 75 yesterday and average 72, but against us they're looking for the 50s. Can't blame them based on how it has worked to keep them in both games.

 

[scarletmike]

at the scUM-OSU mention before the break.

You do what you gotta do when your two best players are a munchkin and a lesbian.

Overall the shooting still sucks:

Buford is 1 for 10
Sullinger is 2 for 12

The good news is Craft is 6 for 12 and 3 for 3 from the line (16 points)

FIFY

And Diebler is getting to the rack whenever he wants.

 

[scarletmike]

Not to mention a guy with ugly form in almost every aspect of the game. I don't get it. Reminds me of some of the kids that made the team in my middle school. They lacked anything approaching good shooting form.
