i hope we lose early in the conference tourney. we have dead legs. 1, 2, or 3. the seed matters little with cleveland and chicago so near.

I'm usually of the opinion that winning every game should be the goal, but at this point I kinda hope Matta empties the bench in their first Big Ten tourney game and plays for the NCAAs

They're missing routine shots all over the place. Purdue is doing their part on defense to force tough shots and turnovers, but if the Buckeyes were making the routine ones this would be a different game right now.

So, it is OK when Purdont players routinely go over the back for their offensive rebounds, but not for OSU. Gotcha.

I am all for calling fouls when fouls are commited, but be fucking consistant. Jesus this is frustrating.

Yes, I am. If the shots continue to not fall and they continue to take out of control and out of rhythm shots.....

Obviously, but you are also assuming that Purdue will continue to shoot lights out.

College basketball is a game of runs, and Purdue is on one right now.

But, you are correct, if the Buckeyes cant make shots and play out of control, they can't come back. For that matter, they probably will lose every game the rest of the season, because unless by some miracle they start playing like they have the previous 26 games, they are done.

There's a whole lot of basketball left, but the Buckeyes do look tired and flat. Remember all that fist pump talk before the game? Where's that passion? That's what Matta has to orchestrate in this time out.

if my team is deep, then a deep run in conference tourney would be fine. this team? we go 7-1/2 deep, with 6 players getting the overwhelming minutes. a conference tourney run could be our death. the second game of the first weekend of the national tournament could be a killer.
