He's shooting 47.5% from the field and 41.9% from three. If that's the case then I say chuck away. If he has a bad game OSU will get hammered.

Reps. If he isn't chuckin', the Bucks aren't winning.

Amen to that.

I think I still have more confidence in this team than most. Other than the Illinois game, they were with Duke for the entire game at Duke, gave Kansas a tough run for most of the game and they're looking like the best team in the nation, and just lost by 3 at Michigan State. The Illinois game was freaking abysmal, I know that, but IMO if Ross can stop some of the boneheaded plays this team can play with and beat anyone in the nation. Then again, we're halfway through the year and it doesn't seem like much has changed so they might be screwed, but the talent is there. Hopefully if Ross gets ~20 minutes a game he can start to put it together. To me, he has too much potential to leave him on the bench. I would think Matta knows that he has to get Ross going as the second scorer if this team is going to do anything, and I have faith he can get him there. Who knows though.

Here's my pics from Saturday...

This was during shootarounds


And from my seat after the game

Got the latest Sports Illustrated today in the mail. Great tribute to Stan Musial but the best part of the whole magazine was the awesome article on Aaron Craft.

Ohio State can't afford to take any team lightly. They need to bring the intensity with their defense and continue to plod away on offense. If PSU scores more than 50 points OSU might be in for a game.

Dan Dakich is the worst commentator in all of sports. He's fucking awful!!!!!

What!!! He is awesome! Why dont you like him?

Bob Knight is the worst in all of sports. Thats not even up for debate.

I like Dakich a lot. Love his candor, and he knows a hell of a lot about the game.

He's awful. He's always making himself look stupid by saying something won't happen then it does. I can't stand him at all. He just rambles.

Yep. Personally, I think he is one of the 3 most knowledgeable color analysts in college basketball. I also like that he is straight forward with his criticism, no sugarcoating. But he breaks down replays better than anyone else in broadcasting, bar none. Bilas is a close second.

The only thing I dont like about Dakich is when he harps on the same thing 5-6 times during a game.

I'm a big Dakich fan..honestly midstate you're the only person I know who doesn't like him.

I thought laley was the only person who DID like him. I don't personally know anyone who likes him.

I think he's knowledgable no doubt. But he's annoying as fuck. He's said the same things over and over today.
And he's talked about Indiana 3 different times, why?

I'm just completely annoyed with him.

Two things: Penn State is bad, and Amir Williams has the weakest hands of any big man in the college game today.

I agree with this. Very knowledgeable, very annoying. Needs to learn to shut the fuck up once in awhile.

We are playing like garbage today

well, at least its PSU.

I swear its impossible to play well at Penn St., NW, or Nebraska cause there is just NO life in the building. Its so hard to have energy in those places. Makes them pesky road games...but thankfully, they teams usually suck ass.

Very true. I bet there isn't 5k at this game.

OSU literally does not give a fuck

They aren't good enough to blow the doors off people. They can get a big lead, Iowa, but they can't finish.

I'd just let osu get up 16-20 every game. As soon as they do, they have a meltdown. Never fails.

I know they beat Michigan by doing this, but rivalry games bring out a different intensity. Unfortunately, teams rarely play with that same intensity every game.

It mightve been ugly, but a 14 pt win on the road is a 14 pt win on the road.

But wow, PSU is so bad.

This. There is just no pleasing some people.
