According to the Big Ten's website, and the ESPN listings on my cable, this game will be on ESPN Saturday.

My opinion, we'd have to win at least 2 out of 3 to be on the bubble. More likely all 3 to get to 20 wins with two big ones at the end, and then win a couple in the tourney. How much do our boys want it at this point is the biggest question mark.

nothing like stating the obvious, but this is a MUST win for the Buckeyes

This thread might as well be closed because this post sums it up.

I think we need Jo to bust out his patented phrase to get back on the right track...

I think this will really show what we deserved after it is all said and done.

If Butler plays for 40 minutes like he did against Indiana for the last 22 seconds. We should be fine.

Seniors get day, want another

Basketball careers have flown by for three Gophers seniors. But with one home game to go, work remains.

They've been to the NCAA tournament, and participated in one of the worst seasons in school history. They've played for multiple coaches. They've entertained Williams Arena sellout crowds, and watched the venue clear out in down years.
But through all of their trials, seniors Lawrence McKenzie, Dan Coleman and Spencer Tollackson have offered a fluctuating Gophers program a sense of stability in recent years. They'll play their last home game this afternoon against Ohio State,.

That's what most brilliant posters over here at the Planet have been saying since almost the beginning of the season. When are we going to get paid?

This thread is almost eerie with the lack of posts. We still have three more games to go and we can win them all. Let's keep the faith!:osu:

It's obviously important to limit McKenzie's open looks from outside the arc. That guy's capable of lighting it up from deep.
