Discussed last night. Opinions requested (m) - Buckeye Vet [12:45:58 03/25/19] (3)

  - My understanding is the NBA wants the G league to become more important * - Buckeye Vet [12:55:54 03/25/19] (3)
    - Google tells me they only make $26,000/yr. Going to have to increase that a lot, you can make better $ at McDonald's * - Potsy's PIMPS [12:59:12 03/25/19] (2)
      - I think it's $35,000 now and a lot of these guys are project to have two way contracts which increase the (m) - woodhaze [13:03:47 03/25/19] (0)

  - Too true. Late season swoon was ugly. * - Shark 4 [13:15:55 03/25/19] (0)

- Yes...Should be better in 2019-20 Season . * - Silverbullets [13:22:47 03/25/19] (0)
- Considering he's had his suspensions it would not be a surprise if he left. He's not NBA material but probably Europe. * - Potsy's PIMPS [12:55:27 03/25/19] (0)
- Legit concern especially when he is the only center on the team. Hopefully that gets corrected soon. * - joe buckeye [12:39:36 03/25/19] (0)
- He is not NBA material. Probably could play overseas. * - Mr (Zero) Insight [12:13:46 03/25/19] (0)

  - That bad pass on the break when they were up 4 with around 1 min remaining sealed the deal. * - Tom Zak [10:30:27 03/25/19] (0)
  - Just exactly how did they choke ?...... (m) - JohnnyOzone [10:18:29 03/25/19] (1)
    - Exactly. Knocking down 4 consecutive 3-pointers is a strange way to intentionally lose a game. * - buckeyecurt [10:32:41 03/25/19] (0)
Sweet 16 will test the power Conference elite teams. Most all have advanced, but now have to prove it against top teams* - Barrett777 [08:35:45 03/25/19] (3)

UCF had Duke on the ropes ... couldn’t quite get it done ... I was hoping they would win * - the displaced Buckeye [07:51:13 03/25/19] (15)
- I wonder if UCF will claim a 1 pt loss to Duke as a National Title? * - P Money [08:34:19 03/25/19] (3)

  - Missed breakaway alley-oop with a minute to go looms large * - Luckydog [08:25:33 03/25/19] (9)
    - with the lead they should have pulled it out and ran the clock * - the displaced Buckeye [09:57:40 03/25/19] (4)
      - I hate this false dichotomy. It wasn't EITHER low-% alley oop OR run clock. Plenty of high % options on that break * - ScriptOhio (Texas Ex) [11:08:01 03/25/19] (0)
    - And then not blocking out on Duke's missed shot at the other end.....arrggghh * - inenemycountry [09:00:41 03/25/19] (1)
      - There was a hook and hold on the opposite side of the lane there.* - Buck Soup [09:31:03 03/25/19] (0)

Is the early ceiling for next year's mbb the Sweet 16? Adding 2 maybe 3 contributors to a group that is being labeled - Monroe Buckeye [07:41:45 03/25/19] (14)
- Young players are difficult to project. Top 10 guys will usually improve a team right away. We are getting good - wigmon [08:00:46 03/25/19] (7)
  - yep. keita was rated every bit as high as these guys and avg 3.8pts as a frosh * - woodhaze [11:09:16 03/25/19] (0)

    - Yes, plus combined step ups from LM / DW / MJ / KA.* - Buck Soup [08:58:10 03/25/19] (0)
    - guard play has been difficult to watch for awhile now. * - whobdis [08:41:09 03/25/19] (0)
  - Well said* - Prime Time Buck [08:03:43 03/25/19] (0)
- Impossible to say until we see the new players. But, we have 3 of the top 35 recruits coming in plus a quality transfer - BuckeyeJeff [07:57:37 03/25/19] (0)
- Anything less than Sweet 16 is going to be a tough pill to swallow * - BuckTheWorld [07:43:01 03/25/19] (4)
  - depends on where Stanford AD & Committee shoves OSU into bracket * - Buckmich [09:19:39 03/25/19] (0)
  - Yes. Next year's team should be at least a week better than this team. - Gerd [08:01:03 03/25/19] (2)
    - Yeah, it may be better to quantify success on some other metric than how far we advance in the tourney - wigmon [08:18:41 03/25/19] (1)
      - went 15-3 in conference last season - and went as far in the tourney as this year's team * - woodhaze [10:39:48 03/25/19] (0)
After practice Musa vs Luther 1 on 1. Who wins? * - Tatum [07:24:47 03/25/19] (10)
- Musa made 9 Fgs the last 3 games. Luther made 8 Fgs the last 6/7 weeks. * - Brutus [07:42:05 03/25/19] (3)

    - He and Marotti will be spending a lot of time together * - Nashville [07:34:01 03/25/19] (1)
      - Agree. He needs to drop 30 lbs or so and tone his body. And then...look out! * - Mr (Zero) Insight [08:18:44 03/25/19] (0)
Thank you Coach Holtmann, 20 wins, you got every drop that you could from the team. Thanks TEAM, you overachieved. * - TellMe [06:13:33 03/25/19] (14)

- With the players he just signed he will have real expectations moving fwd. * - Tatum [06:42:49 03/25/19] (3)
  - yep..at some point it will just be his players * - whobdis [08:25:46 03/25/19] (0)
  - And I will bet your he is looking forward to that challenge.* - Writer [07:22:08 03/25/19] (1)
    - Yep. Hes done it with smoke and mirrors for 2 years. * - Tatum [07:28:21 03/25/19] (0)
- Holtmann is outstanding but they finished 8th in the B1G, right where they were projected with an 8-12 record. - CFL Buck [06:40:25 03/25/19] (2)
  - Overachieved considering Wesson suspension and backup center trasnferred.* - vor (champion) [09:14:23 03/25/19] (0)

Holtman needs a rim protector. Here's the issue for fans - Poisonut [06:07:25 03/25/19] (28)
- The A1 Priority: Holtman Needs More Guards With Quickness That Can Penetrate & Create Their Shot (See Houston)... - Beat Michigan [06:51:33 03/25/19] (2)
  - Yup. We were slower on the perimeter (the 1-3) than most teams in the B1G. - wigmon [08:14:46 03/25/19] (1)
    - The incoming group also includes CJ Walker.* - Buck Soup [12:19:31 03/25/19] (0)
- Didn't we just have a 7 footer visit last weekend? * - sykobuck [06:24:57 03/25/19] (3)
  - Diallo falls into the be careful what you ask for category IMO. I wouldn't do that...unless someone is xfring out.* - Buck Soup [06:27:22 03/25/19] (2)
    - But this level big men are what we have to pick from. Better bigs go to the top bball schools.(m) - sykobuck [06:42:33 03/25/19] (0)
    - Agree on both items. Hope for grad transfer or send Odom to Africa on a Grad Study Abroad to scout :) * - Buckmich [06:41:26 03/25/19] (0)
- Been saying that all year. Being enamored with wing players only gets you so far. * - Buckmich [06:22:38 03/25/19] (0)
- Matta did that, and 3 years in a row, the big guy went pro after 1 year. * - oldbuckette [06:21:47 03/25/19] (7)
  - ? oden and who else (and he went to the national championship game with oden) * - woodhaze [06:25:06 03/25/19] (6)
    - Oden had more help than we realized with Conley. * - oldbuckette [06:39:06 03/25/19] (1)
      - so you wouldve turned oden down? * - woodhaze [07:15:48 03/25/19] (0)
    - Mullens and Koufos * - Kel Varnsen [06:30:33 03/25/19] (3)
      - If I remember correctly, neither Koufos or BJ really wanted to be true post players. They wanted to play more of a 4. * - Monroe Buckeye [07:19:55 03/25/19] (1)
        
        And both went pro with no further development * - Luckydog [07:49:10 03/25/19] (0)

- He invested in LeDee. Hopefully he pans out over the next few years.* - Buck Soup [06:16:22 03/25/19] (11)
  - I'm talking legit 6'11 or 7 footers. * - Poisonut [06:18:29 03/25/19] (10)
    - FWIW, UCF has three 6'11" guys in addition to 7'6" Fall. * - VarsityO [06:29:22 03/25/19] (4)
      - Take a look at the top of the B1G - Poisonut [06:51:10 03/25/19] (3)
        
        The question is whether these guys make a meaningful impact. Bell and McDonald didn't. (m) - Buck Soup [07:13:38 03/25/19] (2)
        
        while you're looking for perfection, we remain a short team - in height and in C depth * - woodhaze [11:56:02 03/25/19] (0)
        
        I agree it's a calculated risk. Most teams go what 8 deep at most? It's just my opinion - Poisonut [08:01:34 03/25/19] (0)
    - Matt Painter has his warts, but one thing I like about him is he'll offer multiple 7 footers in most years and - Poisonut [06:24:50 03/25/19] (2)
      - Valid point. Haarms is reasonably athletic too, which helps immensely.* - Buck Soup [06:28:16 03/25/19] (1)
        
        he was also a 3* top 400! prospect - teske, happ, etc. were all 3* - lots of coaches are chasing 2nd tier prospects at * - woodhaze [12:42:12 03/25/19] (0)
    - Need a combo of strength + quickness, so 6'11 / 7' not necessary IMO. See Sparty, who is tough inside w/o that height.* - Buck Soup [06:24:30 03/25/19] (1)
      - Yes there is more to playing the post in college basketball than height, but height and length are important. * - Poisonut [07:00:39 03/25/19] (0)
Talent and experience wise, I hope this was the lowest I see an OSU mbb team in a very long time * - Mark [05:54:39 03/25/19] (10)
- Those two items made it tough to watch at times. But the heart they played with kept me watching all year.* - Buck Soup [06:25:41 03/25/19] (0)
- 1994. 6-22 over all. 2-16 in the Big Ten. One of our best players was Rick Yudt. * - oldbuckette [06:19:08 03/25/19] (3)
  - 8-22, 1-15 in B1G in '97-98, also bad. * - Mr (Zero) Insight [06:36:54 03/25/19] (0)

  - I'm not saying this was a bad team, not at all. Just that it appears the future is much brighter * - Mark [06:39:40 03/25/19] (0)
  - Much worse . . . this team had some rough times, but numerous bright spots. * - IndianaBuckeye [06:04:55 03/25/19] (0)
  - Yeah, can't lose sight of where we were prior to Matta/Holtman. (m) - sykobuck [06:04:42 03/25/19] (0)
Any shot blockers coming? I miss Ken Johnson. Duke,Zags, MSU - BlackHillsBuckeye [05:47:19 03/25/19] (6)
