Can't wait for the game tonight. Ohio State hasn't played anyone that is really good so I'm interested to see how they handle it tonight. If they can shoot a decent % and not get crushed on the boards then I like their chances

Payne just worries me. We have to shoot solid though, or else no chance. Should be a great B1G gameTerry_Tate;1564314 wrote:Can't wait for the game tonight.

The key will be Amir staying out of foul trouble-we need him in there.Terry_Tate;1564314 wrote:Can't wait for the game tonight.

Can I just say f*ck OSU for their outrageous ticket prices. Was going to get tickets for me and my dad for the Iowa game, only to see it's $40 a piece for an upper deck seat! Good lord I paid $48 for two to tonights game in Lansing, and another 4 in fees. About $30 cheaper to go to a game where you have better sight lines lol

The Schott is a crappy arena for basketball. Feels more like being at an NBA game, which I hate.

You can have a big arena and still have a college atmosphere (see Rupp).

Rupp is an awful place to see a game. I'll never go back there. I did have way too high of expectations, but it's in a damn convention center for Christ's sake. And it's not very nice either.wildcats20;1564384 wrote:It's 100% what it is.

The schott stinks as well, but it makes them a lot of money in conference play.

The Schott is what they wanted it to be. A multi-purpose arena. If they had decided they they didn't want to have Concerts/Shows there, they could have built it so that the acoustics were different, but they wanted it to make money.

Rupp in a HUGE game, is amazing. Almost unmatched. The games where they draw almost 25K like UNC 2 years ago and Louisville this year.
Rupp in about 80-90% of other games is pretty bad. There are some bad, bad seats there.

Great hustle by Craft to get back and alter the dunk attempt, but he should have backed that it and got a good shot.

At least one OSU team can play D. Also I'm sorry but Thompson being 8-30 from beyond the arc is terrible, hell I can easily shoot better than that

Lenzelle 2/8, smh
And they are letting them play tonight. Haven't seen a game near this physical all year.

McDonald played just a few minutes and was much more productive than Amir.

Amedeo is as about as effective as the Italian Army

Lenzelle has been good this half just hasn't got anything to fall.
