Ohio State 65, Michigan 55 (Final)

[NFBuck]

Talent wise, these two teams are in a different universe, and it ain't in the direction the scoreboard is showing right now. Very frustrating team to watch. We all expected some lumps this year, but this team just isn't showing signs of improving. Hell, the last two games they've looked like cellar-dwellers.

I can see where they are trying to do some different things or just do some things better. So I like the output of effort and I hope that the erratic play was nerves. I don't like that we appear to have an offense that consists of running around the perimeter. lets see some cuts and back doors, take it inside more.
GO BUCKEYES

here we go again, giving up 3s

I know we apparently hold our opponents to the lowest 3-point percentage, but why is that so hard to believe? It seems that every team we face just hits every three pointer they shoot. If we could hit every three it wouldn't be as frustrating.

I'm not basketball expert at all, but I see us getting beat by teams I know we have the talent to beat.

37-40....the zone is not working tonight either in my opinion.....

Our perimeter defense is pretty good in the zone. Really good. Then we just mess up once and give up big buckets that lead to us losing. That's really what it is. In a 35 second possession, you can play 30 seconds of outstanding defense, but if you have a mishap in the last 5 seconds, they score anyway.

It's just so frustrating. Easier knowing that this team is just young, they'll develop, but getting spoiled by the Thad 5 last year does this to ya.

Of course, tonight, they're just shooting us out of the zone anyway.

there we go Diebler

and then the D comes down and gives up another 3

40-43....if we do not get rid of this zone....I am going to hang myself.

It really seems to me they're not getting back on transition D after scoring very well, or at least not settling in.

Some of you need to calm down or sign out...

Same rules as football season.

 

[OSUBasketballJunkie]

Does anyone else find it funny that these teams we play do not shoot well except for when we play them......it is due to this zone.....

40-45......this is a carbon copy of the Iowa game......

 

[OSUBasketballJunkie]

43-47....Hunter is having a nice game.....keep feeding him.

 

[leroyjenkins]

scUM shooting 51.5% from the field, and 7-17 from three

 

[OSUBasketballJunkie]

wow....great dunk by Hunter.......45-47.......the crowd is on their feet now.....we need to keep up the intensity on the defensive end.
