Ohio State 69 Northwestern 72 (Final)

ok, this is a serious question, what makes OSU's opponents shoot so well from 3?

It seems every team hits 15 three's against the Bucks. :(

8 threes for Dies = almost half the points for tOSU

49-52 with 9 minutes left. The last 2 Diebler 3s were after a 21-3 NW'ern run.

Soft zone. Just look at how wide open most of the threes are.

I'd be tempted to pull out of the press, and force NW to score while we're set.

We keep getting beat in secondary fast breaks, and it leaves NW shooters pretty wide open. Still plenty of time to press, if dropping back isn't working.

Anyone know the record for 3's by a single person against NU?


Edit: Check that, hes one away from most in a single game.

Diebler is locked-in. Every shot he seems so focused. Just beautiful.

Let's go Bucks!

Yeah - trapping up high is leaving open 3s from the corners.

I'd press, but drop back quickly once they cross half-court.

Nice job by the 'Cats to get the ball down low out of the timeout, caught the Bucks off-guard.

SIMMONS!

Simmons from down town

Nice Simmons. About time.

Madsen looks lost on D

 

[SEREbuckeye]

Simmons with a triple!!! Its starting to rain for us behind the arc.

 

[corwinator3407]

That's how Evan needs to get back into this, start from the charity stripe.

 

[korchiki]

Problem is that it has been storming all night for NW

his effort is nice, but not sure why Dallas is splitting minutes....
