Ohio State 53 Indiana 59 (Final)

They just don't seem to be interested in it. Nobody seems to crash the boards. Is this a coaching issue, or just lack of hustle? White wants every rebound. Nobody on Ohio State seems to have that mindset. They only seem to get rebounds when the ball comes right to them.

It's not a coaching issue. Rebounding is always an issue in the zone and this group just doesn't seem to "get it" no matter how much Matta hammers it into them. They just don't seem to be "aware" of what they need to be doing.

Im sure I'm the minority position around here, but I think Diebler needs to shoot the ball more. Has anyone else noticed that once he misses a good look, he passes on his next several looks, tends to drive and make poor kicks, or make bad decisions in general? You think he had a second thought about shooting the ball last year? He needs to think less and realize that his role is to take shots.

We need more action going at the basket. Challenge White. He's not as amazing as he's been made to look in the first half.

Big 3 by Diebs to stop the bleeding...

19-23 IU

For example: after Diebs hit the three above, he missed another shortly after. At 23-23 he passed on a few shots before making a bad pass from the left wing, no shot attempt for tOSU in the possession. IU gets the ball on the TO and Gordon hits a 3 over Diebler (coincidence here, not implying anything). We must at least get attempts on every possession.
