[Best Buckeye]

On tuesday the Bucks will travel to Lansing to beard the lion in it's den. This could be a pivotal game for the Buckeyes who will be joined in the game by forward Kecman who becomes eligible.
Will the Bucks be able to come out with a W ?
The game is scheduled for 7 pm and will be on ESPN

I get to go to the dentist at 6 then saunter home for this matchup. Maybe I'll see if I can stay at the dentist's for awhile and have her do some unnecessary painkiller-free drilling instead of going home for this.

haha! The last time I was at the dentist, he actually drilled my teeth without getting a shot.... anyway, it might be a similar situation for the Bucks!

Do you think they might do something different for a tad?? like maybe put Diebs at point every now and again, or turner??

Just a thought, I don't mind to sound negative, but it couldn't be too much worse than our current lineups...

Just not sure this team is ready for this matchup yet.

Just not sure this team is ready for this matchup yet.

MSU slaughtered Minnesota on the boards, and Minnesota slaughtered us on the boards.

Seems like a bad equation.

I like Thad's zone defense, but it begs our opponents to crash the glass, and they do. Not really something you want when facing MSU.

Remember that wood-chipper scene from Fargo? Yeah, so do I. That's kind of what I expect to see tonight.

Going out on a limb here...

I predict John Diebler will shoot at least one 3-pointer tonight and most likely make at least one.

I see your one three-pointer made and raise you two three-pointers made.

Yes that's right...Jon Diebler will take at least one three-pointer and make at least two three-pointers.
