Ohio State 50, Wisconsin 55 (Final)

Rebounding is reminiscent of the MSU game, and that's not a good thing. I also feel we're giving Madsen play time that should go to someone else.. I mean he's not terrible or anything, he just seems.. not ready for this level yet? He's a junior and all, but give those minutes to somebody like Offutt.

I do however expect big things come Tourney time. The problems with this team are small, and I think they can be fixed. This half is a good time to start.

Down by 1 at the half. That 4 point swing on the foul-made basket-retain possession thing accounts for the score. WTF! Can someone explain that one? I thought you could only retain possession after a foul if it was a flagrant or a T. Wisky getting a lot of lucky offensive rebounds from lucky bounces, that has to stop. Diebler hasn't taken a shot, from my recollection. A couple 3s would be big in the 2nd. Wisky playing typical stifling D. We need BJ to stay in the game without any more fouls. Would like to see Dallas get more involved on O. The officiating has been suspect. I've seen obvious fouls on both teams go uncalled, and then shit called off the ball. Hard for the players to know what to do. I'd like to see ET drive to the net and get some free throws, but who knows if it will get called? Zone is looking good for the most part. UW isn't getting a lot of open looks, but are making some shots on good D. Time for the Buckeyes to dig deep and put this team away. We have to get the ball to our guys in good position and convert, our D is doing it's job. Fuck Bucky! Blow 'em out in the 2nd! Go Buckeyes!!!

I'm happy with what I'm seeing. There have been more than a few loose balls that haven't bounced our way, but we are down 1 point. As long as BJ is still producing inside, I really like our chances. I would like to see a little more effort on the defensive boards though.

Neither team has made a run yet. I suspect one team to get a 10 point or so run and that team will win.

Also, I think UNC scored 24 points in the first 5 minutes of their game the other night. ha ha
