I'd rather see him slump a little now than in the Sweet Sixteen. It's impossible not to have a couple of off games during a season. He'll be just fine.

Exactly. Sometimes I think WB is trying to be too unselfish and might be thinking a little bit too much. He is just too good to have nights like he did last night. Maybe chasing the scoring record is not a good thing.

Scoring points isn't everything
Buford. The senior missed 11 of 14 shots from the field but did have a game-high 11 rebounds, five assists and three steals.
​
It was the 100th victory at Ohio State for Buford, coach Thad Matta said.

?That?s something I talked to him about going into the game, going out and trying to get No.100 today,? Matta said. ?I?m elated with the way he played. He didn?t shoot the ball well, but he did a great job.?

Buford is tough to watch in tight games...

From the outside without looking at statistics, it just seems like he's turning it over the past 4-5 games. Same goes for Aaron Craft.

I don't know if it's carelessness, pressure to perform, lack of focus or bad luck.

Hope everything cleans up the second half of the season (for everyone).

Ever since that Northwestern game he's been garbage. There I said it.

I will admit that WB has been struggling with his shot he does quite a bit for this team and to say what you just said shows your knowledge of basketball:shake:

Also, if I was a moderator I might bounce you for a while.

He hasn't been playing good basketball, but there are better ways to articulate that than just saying he's "garbage."

I'll says he's been pressing and it's leading to bad turnovers and forced shots. He needs to play within the team.

I have confidence that WB will solidify his name come tournament time. Crunch time hasn't been kind to us this year, but I would rather struggle now than in March. I would be more concerned if WB's confidence was shaken and he was questioning himself, but that does not appear to be happening. Shooters shoot and scorers score. WB is a scorer and will show it, he's just in a rough patch right now.
