Good road win! Still think Diebler needs to stick with 8 man rotation unless he needs to use the bench for foul situations. Mobley and Bynum, while they do need occasional breaks, shouldn’t spend more than 2 minutes each half on the bench. Just my opinion. While Mobley may be a liability on D at times, we get absolutely no offensive output from the couple they bring off the bench.

I cancelled my Peacock subscription because there's not much to watch there other than sports, and the games they have that are important to watch are rare. I subscribe to BTN+ (like $15/mo) and Hulu with ESPN ($32/mo) so I can watch everything I want, just have to wait a day to watch these games.

I finally saw this game. First of all, a bit surprised Evan Turner repeatedly pronounced Devin Royal's name as "Royale" ... anyways, it really was a team effort in this game with a number of Buckeyes contributing at times offensively, and that's really critical for this or any team really. I don't think anyone here mentioned it, but Diebler strategically switched to a 1-3-1 zone defense, which pushed Rutgers guards past the 3-point arc, and it worked really well. I think certainly being able to adapt and change as necessary is vital for this team being able to win games like this. Diebler also has been pretty good at getting these guys to score out of timeouts, and it happened again in this game. Ogbole for Rutgers was a beast on the glass - very big, strong, quick and high motor - so I can see why OSU struggled with offensive rebounds against him - that being said, you don't want to give up that many offensive rebounds. I would have liked to seen Bynum in particular go a little harder on pursuing defensive rebounds. Tilly I think always is going to struggle a little bit on the glass in a particularly frustrating way, but it is what it is.
