The god awful defense is all on the coaching.
Michigan got Dusty May who quicky has that program rolling at a very high level. We settled for the assistant of the failed former coach who has the Ohio State program sputtering in the same mediocrity. The big difference here.

When you just hand the job to part of the former failed product do you really expect people to be lining up the fund the hoops program? These excuses are complete lame. The Athletic Department took the lazy and cheap option and the results are about what you can expect from that

The other team is already better, more talented and better coached.
They are playing like they are better, more talented, better coached AND with WAY more effort. That last part is frustrating.
It will take a massive change in enthusiasm and effort the 2nd half.

You fail to acknowledge reality. There aren't big tech titans waiting in the wings to donate to OSU hoops. I think NIL is part of why May went to Michigan instead of OSU in the first place. Maybe the AD did put out feelers and found out May wasn't interested without being bankrolled like one of the top programs in the country, have you ever considered that?

Have you considered that none of this is an excuse for Diebler being in over his head and just not good as an actual coach. He's another "nice guy" who's not good at the job. Just like his former boss.

It remains true though. When you settle for assistants of the former failed coach you are going to get the same failed results. I don't understand how anyone thought this experiment was going to go any other way than it has so far

My stance is it's foolish to hate on Diebler in Year 2 with the 12th-highest NIL in the B1G. Part of the reason it's been 10 years since OSU won a B1G championship is lack of financial support. Changing coaches is pointless without changing the way NIL is funded dramatically. You're never going to be happy following this program because you're rooting for a team that you want to be a contender but doesn't remotely do what it takes financially in order to do it.

These kids need to commit to a team instead of all the damn transferring. Plain and simple! If coach can keep the rest of this team minus Bruce and Tilly, with what we have coming in next season, they should be better. These past few seasons has seen a lot of early NBA entries or transfers of key components to the lineup. There’s a reason the Purdue’s and Wisconsin’s are decent every year. Same with Iowa, Nebraska, etc…Hell, looking back, I wish we would’ve lost the game vs Xavier in 2007. If Oden, Conley, and the rest return in 2008, that team might not have lost a game. Instead, they make the championship game, lose to a team that had at least 3 NBA players, who for some odd reason decide to come back, and leave. Since 2007, this university has seen a lot of early entries, some which were warranted, some that were questionable. Don’t get me started on Buford who shot like 3/16 or 3/18 vs Kentucky when we had Craft, Diebler, and company. This BB team has been plagued with bad luck for years. Chris Jent misses a 4 foot bunny vs Michigan and the cheating 5 when it mattered most and sent JJ packing for the NBA. Lost to a team we beat both times during the season. Nothing but bad luck for as long as I can remember. Heck, what about Burson and his broken neck vs Iowa back in the day? I can go on and on. FRUSTRATING!!

Once again how many people are going to want to financially support THIS PRODUCT? These are the results you get when you just hand the job to the assistant of the former failed coach who was a big part in the continued driving of this program into mediocrity. You're gonna be hard pressed to rally up much enthusiasm in a program that's stuck in a extremely stale state.
