Ohio State 60, #11 Michigan State 66 (Final)

b10 teams play 18 games, six losses isnt bad at all... 12-6 or 10-8 are sure fire tourney teams mili...

If we finish 11-7 or 10-8 in conference, we'd be about 5th or 6th in conference and I think we'd be on the bubble for an NCAA bid....

Stats below are through 1/9:

RPI (From Pomeroy)
Ohio State: 23 (down from 15 vs. Purdue)
Michigan State: 8

Pomeroy (Strength/Power Rankings)
Ohio State: 27 (down from 18 vs. Purdue)
Michigan State: 19

Pomeroy projects a Michigan State 65-60 victory and gives tOSU a 30% chance of winning.

RPI Strength of Schedule: 16

Interesting tidbit: Ohio State is the highest rated 4-loss team in the RPI.

I think this is what you call "Right on"

Like most of the season....every game has been a tale of two halves......if the Buckeyes can find some consistency, they will improve. Until then it will be a roller coaster ride.

My feelings as well...If we put the Purdue first half and MSU second half together we are looking at a very complete game...Instead we played like shit in the other two halves of those games and we came away with 2 losses...

Lets not jump off the cliff.....we just lost to a very tough Purdue team and a top ten MSU team.

I'm not jumping yet...I just wanted to remind everyone about how the NCAA took over the NIT and "fixed" it by creating automatic bids. There are definitely less spots available in the NIT than there were a few years ago.
