tOSU @ Minnesota, Thurs 1/16 @ 9p ET, ESPN2

Buckeye fans have to pray that Myles Turner picks tOSU or else it's going to be another year of weak play in the interior next season. Whatever the frontcourt did against Minnesota, it wasn't what this team needs.

Agreed. Elliott Eliason went for 12 pts, 13 boards. The points were a season high, and the rebounds were his second best output this season (he had 17 against Lehigh). But that's nothing new--AJ Hammonds of Purdue had season highs in both points and rebounds against OSU (he went for 18 and 16).

If this team doesn't improve between now and Monday, that Nebraska game in Lincoln is going to be a dogfight.

Agreed. I said the same thing right after the Minnesota game.

I keep going back to Matta's postgame comments about the team having to face 'reality'. Maybe now they will come out a bit differently in Lincoln.

Agreed. I said the same thing right after the Minnesota game.

Yep.

The thing is I'm certain Matta will fix it. I'm just not certain the fix is going to come during this particular season.

What? None of our big guys were coached up very well. If that is a case, then why where the majority of them high level draft picks.

Have you seen this year's #1 pick? The NBA doesn't draft guys who are 'coached up.' They draft size, talent, potential, and nothing else.
