Which means the Bucks are playing for third with Michigan State (a team very similar to OSU, can't shoot) and Illinois and maybe Minnesota. Ohio State has great athletes but only one basketball player (Thomas) smart teams like Kansas and Duke and I'm sure the good B1G teams will double and triple team him and let Craft, Thompson, and Smith Jr. clank away. I still think that the Bucks will have a good season but with no consistancy shooting the ball or not much of an inside game, I don't see a B1G title this season. But the B1G tournement you only have to get hot for a short time, maybe with their defense they could pull that off, I'm still hoping for 22-8 regular season and with the B1G tournement and a win or 2 in the NCAA maybe 26 or 27 wins not bad for an off year.
Good post. I still think they'll upset either IU or tsun, but will lose to a lower tier team as well. The B1G season should get their teams prepared for the Dance, but they'll have to get there first.
