Didn't know that boxing out was illegal.

Sully needs to touch the dang ball every freaking possesion. Every time.

 

[bkochmc]

Scott is playing some great D against Taylor.

Except that possession. lol

 

[Fremont Buckeye]

Didn't know that boxing out was illegal.

It is "illegal" in Madison only according to coach Brett B.

 

[Poe McKnoe]

Dude just traveled from the 3 pt line.

Taylor took his last dribble on that layup at the 3-pt. arc.

 

[bkochmc]

Taylor took his last dribble on that play at the 3-pt. arc.

Ya, he clearly traveled but he also clearly beat Scott on his first step. That doesn't take away from the job Scott has done so far on Taylor... he's definitely earned his playing time.

 

[jlb1705]

Buckeyes are going to need a better second half, and someone to give the some offense besides Sullinger.

I don't trust that Wisconsin is going to keep bricking all those threes.

 

[1926Buckeyes]

Not a great first half, but I'll take a 4 point lead at a tough place to play without Craft for most of the half.

Sullinger is dominating obviously and there's no reason not to have him touch the ball every time they go down the floor. He won't have as big of a 2nd half but it's still important to cycle to the ball through him and get some guys in foul trouble.

Just need Buford and Smith to step up a little more and OSU should be able to come away with a very good win.

Yep, I feel like there's still a big, lingering bullet to dodge in this game.

 

[dragurd]

Yeah Sully worries we me way he keeps sagging on those 3's. They are going to start making them eventually.

And we need someone else on offense we can trust to make open shots today. Both Thomas and Buford are probably around 50% on wide open shots.

 

[Magua]

Anyone else think Buford's senior season in Columbus has been his worst in Columbus? He's forcing everything and not making shots he normally has in the past. Can only recall a couple times this year where I thought "wow he's feeling it."

I do. He forces too much, I feel like he think he has to be the go to guy too much (even though at times he has to be). He just makes some decisions that make me scratch my head. I don't recall Diebler, Lighty, Butler, etc. would make some decisions he makes.

 

[jlb1705]

God, I hate Wisconsin basketball. One decent point guard and four goons.

 

[bkochmc]

Wow, Buford is COLD. Has had good looks this half, just can't knock them down.
