89-82 final. OSU keeping themselves in the tournament conversation.

We may hold on but these guys have almost no feel for the game….except Thornton

Thorton honestly has poor feel for breaking pressure and has never been good at stall ball either. Clutch free throw shooter though

24/25 from the charity stripe. Is that good?

Can give Dibler his props there. They are much better free shooting team then they were ever under Holtmann. Still same issues with press break though

A lot of things a person could be critical about (except FT shooting, it's tough to criticize that tonight), gave up too many 2nd chance points, too many TOs, defensive lapses at times, some ill timed 3s, but the only thing I seem to recall is tOSU - 89, USC - 82.
GO BUCKS!!

Good resilience at the end to hang and and pull it out when they got it close again. Gonna need to clean up the sloppy starts down the stretch but they keep keeping themselves above water.

They only have like 2 guys that seem to under stand dribble or immediately pass forward to break the press don't sit holding the ball and let the trap come to you. And have been awful at getting good shots out of stall ball for years

It's like we're trying our best to further announce we don't care about basketball in Columbus smh. I think back to when I was at Ohio State when there was so much (deserved) excitement with Matta and players like Sully, Craft, Thomas, etc...the student section and fans were doing much better in terms of attendance and most, but it seems like that was short lived. Can't really blame anyone at this point though, there's a chance I might just go to the RPAC instead to lift and chase some Lulu Lemon wearing college girls (assuming we turn back the time).

But aside from that, glad to get a win at home. Who knows, maybe we can fart our way into the Tourney somehow. Even if it's a one and done, I see another NIT appearance being a near death sentence for Diebler's career here. Maybe this win gets us there if we can pull off an upset or two in the conference tourney.
