I don't know, man, Bruce is the only one out there for OSU who seems to be playing with an edge. He could just be pressing because he thinks he has to do it all himself.

Not knocking Bruce overall. But this specific play he lost his dribble. Saw Bynum and still almost pivoted into a travel so he could NOT throw him the ball.

Just bizarre play from everyone today.

Hate to say it but Cupps should be playing more in my opinion. He can shoot, just chooses not to. Wouldn’t be surprised to see White, Cupps, and even Chatman transfer. These kids don’t like riding the pine when the ones on the floor are stinking up the joint. I don’t blame them either. This damn team is nothing but a bunch of dribblers. Yes, that includes Bruce! I see better ball movement in high school.

Next year IMO might be ugly. Diebler has not shown that he can get higher level players in the portal. Thompson is a high level HS recruit but even if he plays at an elite level that won't be hear enough to carry the team

To the Diebler defenders how much time is "enough time"? Are you still ok with him if he misses the tournament again next year?

What about the conclusion of this year? They could realistically lose every remaining game. If the only win down the stretch is against Ped State are you ok with that?

NIL is what it takes to win in the portal, pure and simple. We already know that. Kennard Davis Jr was obviously shopping for the highest bidder and found it after a period of weeks at BYU, and while OSU was interested they didn't have $2 million to spare even for a kid who would start. If anything, Diebler not getting higher level players in the portal proves my point that OSU is not investing NIL funds into the men's hoops team sufficient to compete with their peers.

Why don't we let this year play out first? It's nonsense to fire Diebler after this season even if they finish with 16 wins.
