Another tough road game for OSU ... not really a good matchup for OSU, either, as the Bucks have struggled against zone defenses and (at least without Lighty) teams that like to shoot a lot of 3s and UM both plays zone and shoots a lot of 3s. Diebler will have to have a great shooting game in order for OSU to pull off the upset.

I am having a hard time remembering the teams we have played this season who have played zone against us but with that being said I hope that Buford will be able to help JD in breaking down Michigan's zone. Against Illinois, they played a number of different types of zone defenses and hopefully we will not struggle in adjusting to their changes.

I agree that they shoot a lot of threes but I don't understand what the absence of Lighty has in us getting long rebounds. That is all effort as far as I am concerned and the wing guys are going to have to show more effort in chasing down those long rebounds.

In this game, it really all depends on what Michigan team shows up. They have been so up-and-down this season you never know where you're going to get from them but I guess the same thing can be said about us.

I am thinking that we grew up alot after the tough two road games we lost and now the two wins...I see this as a tight game, but I think that we can keep Michigan off the offensive boards and hopefully be able to score inside and outside against them and get the win...

Looking forward to a shut out Saturday night.

If Mullens gets started early down low, the D will have to collapse inside on him, and the kick outs will be open all game. Also, we switch so much on defense it's pretty often you see CJ Lee or somebody of that size down low on a PF/C.. If OSU could take advantage of that...

And like the other person said, it depends on which Michigan teams shows up. I'll be looking forward to a good game though.
