Ohio State vs. Michigan St., Saturday, January 5 @ 12pm, FOX

[Jake]

3 starters fouled out, lol

Two in the final minute foul-o-rama, during which time Sparty's lead grew. Good thing we kept fouling them.

Washington, Woods, Jallow and Ahrens gave nothing today when MSU's bench provided rebounds and points. Combine that with 4 starters in foul trouble or injury and thats your game.

Was hoping to get more from the bench so the starters could stay in there but it didnt happen. If we dont get at least one of those guys to contribute consistently, they'll lose too many games this year. The potential is there to do great things even as young as they are but they can't play 5 on 8 or 9 all season.

Mourn it today, then forget about it and on to the next one. Not going to get much easier.

washington added a decent boost, but he unfortunately did not pick up the slack when jackson sat for what looks to be really bad cramping. like you said, though, the duo of woods and jallow gave nothing. they were net negatives.

Still feel like this team is two years away from turning the corner and being more than a team that's satisfied just to get into the tournament

 

[Jake]

Bucks went from the 6:06 mark to 0:46 without making a field goal.

Woods looked like the moment was too big for him ...nervous mistakes...B1G is a man's league

 

[brodybuck21]

Oh and fuck sparty

 

[Best Buckeye]

We need a true point guard.

 

[Systems_id]

Eh I'm not too down. Honestly I was worried OSU's ranking was a little overinflated and we'd get a hard reality check, but they proved today that their ranking was justified. Played great today for being as young as they are.

 

[Steve19]

They were young and collapsed the final 7 minutes. If you looked at their faces after that scrum under the Buckeye basket and the MSU steal that made it a 5-point lead (I think. 79-74). They were in shock. OK. You work on that and learn from it.

 

[nomatta]

MSU made a few plays down the stretch, which unfortunately was a few more than we made.

Horrible shooting from outside, got beat soundly on the glass as expected, but somehow we only had 5 turnovers, thus us not losing by 20.

Good fight just couldn't make good things happen at the end. I worry about our shooting going forward.

 

[Arch2H]

Kaleb had a bad 2nd half also...

 

[Steve19]

Shot selection was an issue. Some poor choices, but that is a coachable thing.

 

[Arch2H]

No consistent outside shooters, made a couple lucky bank shots...
