Ohio State vs. Syracuse, Wednesday, Nov. 28 @ 7:15 PM, ESPN2

That was painful to watch. The only thing that was disappointing other than our shooting was that we couldn't really take advantage of the fact that 3 of their guys fouled out with a lot of time left. Hopefully it pumps the guys up for conference play

Some of that is their defense. Couldn't play at our pace, forced up some shots late in the clock after passing around it for 30 seconds.

As Woody used to say, tonight will "cleanse the soul" of our team. We'll see how they respond next game.
Part of it is Jackson being in a funk the last few games. If he was even average tonight they have a chance to win that. You saw at the end of the game when it was time to jack up 3 he actively refused to do it.

Well, that was pretty awful, specifically the second half. Just a really ugly half for us. I think the talent/length/athleticism differential caught up to us and we got tired and didn't execute the way we needed to, and then the defense in turn started to slack.

CJ and Kaleb absolutely have to play more efficiently if we're gonna have a chance against any good teams this season. 5-22? I'm surprised we didn't lose by 20!

I hope Luther's okay. He tried to make things happen, lead the team with 6 assists. But he definitely looked like a frosh out there. 4 turnovers.

Was hoping Woods would bring a little more to the table with his ACC experience against Cuse and all his talk about how bad he wanted to beat them.

Washington still in a shooting funk and we really need him not to be tonight.

Andre didn't help, let's just say that.

The best part of the game was the tribute to Thad! I got emotional. Well-deserved recognition and I love that they gave him a banner.
