27-7.

Not good to be the team playing MSU after they were upset.

 

[Wingate1217]

some calls would be nice also....

 

[OHSportsFan]

4 straight points for the Buckeyes...this is huge!

 

[crazybuckfan40]

Lets see if we can continue this nice little run we got going on here...

We are finally starting to attack the rim a lil...

 

[OHSportsFan]

good possession...Koufus down low...ugh, nope.

MSU with the 3

what is wrong with Othello's hands tonight?

Scoring in this gym is equivalent to kicking a long field goal at Heinz field.

 

[BengalsAndBucks]

I haven't been impressed with Koufos once this year.

We can't hit and they can't miss, sounds like every other game we have played this year.

 

[crazybuckfan40]

I would like to see us give some time to Wallace and Hill and see if we can't get a spark...

 

[crazybuckfan40]

They keep talking about our frosh and their deer in the headlights look, but the guy that is playing the worst game is Hunter...

He can't hang on to a ball, has forced 3 or 4 shots, out of position on defense, and that last foul was stupid, if you are going to foul him hit him hard and don't let him lay it up all nice and easy...

 

[BengalsAndBucks]

They are doing a great job shutting down Butler and making anyone else beat them.

Great intensity on the press right now, we need to score more so we can press more.

Need to cut this lead to ~12 by halftime if we want any chance at this game.

I agree, but Butler is not finding the guys that need the ball, since they are shutting him down...

I like what Matta did to bring in Hill, he seems to bring energy to the court, and also allows Butler to not have to work to bring the ball up the court everytime...

 

[NFBuck]

Hill may be limited offensively, but he's a ball of fire out there defensively.

 

[BengalsAndBucks]

If we can play with that kind of reckless abandon on defense in the second half then we may have a shot at this game. They cant shoot like they did in the first half all game.

 

[billmac91]

do we really not have an offense to run against this defense? dribble, dribble, dribble some more, pass to a big outide the perimeter, get ball back from big outside perimeter even further from basketball, dribble some more, force bad shot

That has been our offense tonight.
