This game scares the hell out of me because I do not know how we will match up against Green/Nix or Green/Payne. Thomas will really have to step up his defense or we might be seeing a lot of Ravenel which could hurt us offensively. Also, will need to get back on defense because Spary really pushes the ball which might mean our bench guys will see more playing time very

Well if we know our coach, we know that the team will be watching the Purdue game over and over. Matta likes coaching against really good coaches (see Duke game earlier this year). I think this will be a great game.

If both teams are on, the home court might just be the difference.

It's getting to be fun, leading up to games, trying to predict: who has the (unexpected) big game? Will Lenzelle turn into Super Lenzelle again? Will Sam Thompson get on Sports Center again? Will Deshuan go unconscious and go for 30 points?

Never know with these guys. Should be a good game to watch. Put the dog outside on the chain!

Go Bucks!

After being shown that an average team like Purdue can come in here and almost get a W, this team should be fired up. Hopefully Buford can shoot like last game because if he's on and Sully/Thomas are doing their usual thing this could get ugly.

Sparty worries me here. They seem to be playing well right now. I think how the Buckeyes play defense is going to win or lose this game. Play it like they did against Purdue, lose. Play it like they did against Duke, win.

Also, 9.5 seems to be a generous spread. I think it comes down to 4/5 points.

Think this one is shaping up to be an absolute dog fight. Time to separate the men from the boys in the B1G!

Huge game. Chance to take command of the B1G and we must defend our house. A saturday evening game in the Schott should have plenty of rowdy students in attendance.

Containing Green when Sully isn't in the game will be key IMO.

And please hit at least 40% of the 3s - a bad shooting day would be a bad omen at this point.

I might be wrong but I don't think you will see Sully guarding Green even when he is on the floor. Green would pull him away from the basket too much. I think Sully will guard Payne or Nix when either of them are on the floor with Green.

40% would be nice.

Also agree with some of the other guys who think 9.5 is pretty generous even at home. I like the over but not the 9.5. We shall see:)
