Nice sweat-free game. Took care of business like they needed to.

On to a massive regular season finale at home vs. IU.

Get Bruce that record and a win for the resume.

Mobley shoots like this and the Buckeyes can hang with anyone.

 

[DZ83CK]

Mobley in the zone. 28 points, 8-9 on 3s.

 

[OHSportsFan]

Jon Diebler-like shooting performance.

 

[DZ83CK]

Looks like Bruce is resting with a big lead & will finish with 18 points tonight. He will be 11 short of a tie and 12 short of the outright scoring record.

Killa John!!!

Sumbitch giving PSU their "shinebox" moment.

 

[Jagdaddy]

My wife is pleased with this game, as there has been, for once, no yelling; cursing; or questioning of the officials' ancestry, competence, integrity, or right to exist from me tonight.

 

[DZ83CK]

4 consecutive wins for OSU over PSU.

 

[DZ83CK]

I was worried about this game, you just never know what kind of game a team like PSU is going to play. You saw the first game when OSU had an 18-point lead and PSU almost came all the way back to tie at the end. So thankful they could win this one easily and avoid a bad loss.

 

[Bestbuck36]

Fuck yeah. That's the kind of action we're talking about. Good job coach guarding against the letdown. Now get it done on Saturday boys!

And we've walked into an ambush over there several times. Good energy. Good win.

A few days ago the Celtics set an NBA record with an effective shooting % of 80.8%.

I believe tOSU’s number tonight is 82.4%, by going 34 of 51 with 16 makes from 3-point land. Might be a B1G record, probably not an NCAA one.

Here's what the magic Google AI machine says....

The Big Ten Conference record for the best team field goal percentage in a single game is 73.3%.
This historic performance was achieved by Michigan in a game against Western Michigan on December 8, 1984. The Wolverines made 44 of their 60 shots to secure the record.
Other notable high-efficiency performances in Big Ten men's basketball history include:

• 71.4%: Ohio State vs. Wisconsin, 1970 (30 of 42 field goals).
• 71.1%: Indiana vs. Minnesota, 1982 (32 of 45 field goals).
• 70.2%: Purdue vs. Illinois, 1990 (40 of 57 field goals).

But I gotta say, 34/51 is literally 67%....but I don't math a ton and stuff....
