They lost 2 of their top 3 players (Cadougan and Blue) from last year. They will lose to New Mexico tonight and I'll bet they don't lose less than 12 games and likely miss the NCAA Tournament.

They have beaten Southern (3 wins), Grambling (1 win), New Hampshire (2 wins), Fullerton (4 wins), IUPUI (4 wins) and Ball State (2 wins). Combined losses for those teams, 43. They did beat George Washington on a neutral floor, one of the top 5 teams in the A-10.
Ya ya, we already know, OSU plays nobody. Enough is enough. Still amazes me that a coach, with 5-7 first round draft picks, greatest recruiting class ever, can lose 3 games to date. Of course, it was the only 3 decent teams they played.

UK was definitely overrated to start the season. However, there's still plenty of season left. I'd love to see UK/OSU in a regional semi-final or something. Possibly a 2/3 game.

I want no part of Kentucky come March. Them, Kansas, and Duke can hopefully all end up in the same region on the other side of Ohio State. :)

I don't want any part of Ohio State, other than it would be entertaining because about 90% of my social circle and family are OSU supporters.

Regardless of the match-ups, the Buckeyes still owe us from 3 years ago. That was your best team for sure and they probably win 6 or 7 of 10 against UK.

Haha. I told all of my UK friends before this year that nothing would be sweeter than Ohio State beating UK in the tournament this year. That loss 3 years ago was heartbreaking. I know you can't say it for sure but I thought if Ohio State got past UK they would win it all that year. That was a brutal 4 seed matchup.

It still pains me because UConn is one of the worst champs in recent memory and 2 mid-majors made the Final Four. The game by Butler in the final was basically a lay down. If that was OSU or UK in that game over UConn, we'd be talking about a championship year.

OSU already showing what I feared, we are going to struggle against big men that want to work in the low post.

This team is falling apart before our eyes. They will get it together by the end of the year as they always do, but this is embarrassing

They never put anyone in the middle of the zone. And nobody is driving and kicking. They look like they're being coached by Crean the way they act like they've never seen a zone.

These officials are fucking awful too. I hate when officials completely change the way they had called a game for 30 minutes.

All this said. .osu needs a loss badly. They look disinterested and needed a goos smack in the face. And usually this happens and everyone gets allllll worked up. And a matta coached team will just continue to work and get better.

But a meltdown is sure to ensue after this game.

They can't do anything offensively right now. Just terrible. 9 minutes without a field goal almost seems impossible.

I'm not sure what he's supposed to do well. I always hear the answer is "shoot", but I haven't seen it. Ever.

This team will be fine, but they don't have enough offense to be a real threat. That problem isn't going away.
