OSU looked horrible on 1/2 court offense and defense....Turner is a huge loss...but I'd rather Diebler shoot an open 26 footer as opposed to a 21 footer with 2 guys in his face.

WHy did they wait so long to use their athleticism????
Agree, can't dig yourself a hole like that. But again, OSU offense is going to struggle at times. That one was just too long and was the difference.

Why did they wait so long to use their athleticism? I assume you mean the press? Well, OSU is 2 deep off the bench. PJ Hill gave OSU NOTHING today. You can't press the entire game with the lack of depth OSU has.

I said earlier in this thread, that if OSU could keep it within 8 I would consider it a moral victory.

That's exactly what they did. They played okay without Turner, and that's probably all they will need to do to go .500 without him. I was impressed with OSU today even though they didn't look good. This was their first game without Turner and they were able to compete. They will continue to improve without him, and will be better in the long run.

We will need to circle the wagons and tough it out. Hopefully other players will improve with added minutes and we can get this team back together before tournament time. this is too good a team not to be ready when it really counts.

Without Turner the Bucks look very, very average at best.

The officials were absolutley ridiculous in that game. Neutral floor with neutral refs, TOSU wins by 15-20 pts.
