I turned it off because I was pissed. Turn it on and they were up 4 with 20 seconds left. lmao.

I jinx them i guess.

Like I said, they were getting torched and the rest of the Boilermakers didnt drill them into the ground.

Well, too bad for Purdue. That's basketball.

Really? They got their asses lit up by an average player. THey were lucky the rest of the Boilermakers didnt blow them out by 30. Hummel is throwing it in all over the place on a shitty zone D and you say they earned it?

Dude you are an idiot.

Hummel is a very good player and Purdue is a better team than OSU, plus this game was AT PURDUE.

This team fought back and earned the victory, it wasn't luck.

Just stop posting, you made my point again. OSU got lucky.

Lucky? Maybe. But who cares, its a WIN. Now go away.

Lucky?????

Good grief.

Matta made a great coaching adjustment -- and Turner was a man among boys.

That's a lot of things, but it is NOT luck.

+1

And I'll 2nd what CBF posted.

Matta did make the adjustment to man, but I was hoping he would have made it before Hummel hung 29 on us before half. It all worked out in the end but were we on the losing end of things tonight I think I might be bitching about it.

If Turner had never been injured Ohio State would be sitting at 4-1 in the Big Ten and 15-2 overall.

Thats why I don't come on here during the game. There are a BUNCH of those on this site. Of course when OSU wins, the tide turns quickly!! Bandwagon fans? Actually, some just don't get it or understand this level of play.

I happen to agree with this. I think the only loss would have been at Wisky. But who knows what could have happened in that game.
People don't remember, but for a not so very good game vs UNC, this OSU team was playing very well together and if you hvae been down to any games, they have a lot of fun together as well. That "team" concept will take you a long way.
I was really impressed how OSU manned up, and played good tough defense/basketball down the stretch. Hummell did get off...but Lighty D'd him up in the second half.
Very impressive win tonite.

Are you f'n serious?

Stick to cross country if you think OSU was lucky to win tonight. No team is ever lucky when they battle back from a 10+ deficit, away, against a solid Top 10 team.

Good point. Your probably right.

Still would have felt better had Matta gone to man earlier in the first half. Got a lot of TO early that benefitted , but as Hummel got hot and the TO's stopped coming I thought he should have made the switch. Like I said it all worked out but I doubt they would have been down as much at the break.

I hardly get excited about OSU basketball wins, but I'm pretty pumped about this win. Especially considering how bad OSU played in the first half.

I usually say if you have the best player on the court on your team, you have a chance. Well Turner is the best player in the Big 10, so they always have a chance.

Earlier in the year I thought John Wall was the best player in the country, now I'm reconsidering. Especially considering that Turner is almost solely all OSU has and opposing teams know this. Just can't put into words how impressive Evan Turner is this year. And even moreso that he was able to bounce back from the injury so soon and able to actually raise his level of play.

Purdue MM offense, motion, is really, really good. OSU MM, at times is not very good. I think Matta knew they could not come out in MM and stay with Purdue the entire game. The 1-3-1 really thru Purdue for a loop most of the first half, until about the 6 min mark when Hummel really went off. But who else went off? And, as Matta said at half, Hummel is a career 28% 3pt shooter. Pick your poison with a team like Purdue. I don't disagree totally, that maybe Matta should have gotten out of it. But overall, that 1-3-1 defense thru Purdue for a loop offensively that I don't think they really ever recovered from the entire game. As Lavin said, they are a rhythm team. And I don't think they ever got into a rythm except for Hummel in the first half.

I have said from the getgo, that overall, Turner is the better play..and was "lol" by many on here. Wall is getting all the hype because he is the "new" face, top frosh. And, he is good, no question. But he doesn't have the overall game that Turner does at this time. Add in that Turner has more size, can post, rebound, pass..along with everything else he does, and Turner is IMO, the best all around player in college.
He still turns it over too much. But, he isn't a true PG either. At this point, you gotta live with his turnovers as he will have much more positive things to overcome those.

Hummel was out of his mind, by far his best game. The only thing that I can come up with as to why he didn't switch early was how tough he knew it would be for Purdue to make the MM following the break. It was tough for them to get the ball to Hummel in MM and it really made them struggle. If tha was his thought for not making the switch I can at least understand it.

Didn't they make the switch to MM with about 1:30 left in the first half? I thought they did and had shot clock TO because of it. Just made me nervous knowing that was what needed to happen to shut off Hummel is all.

I remember you saying that about Turner and actually citing Bilas, whom I highly respect. I think Wall is the better pro player, but you can definitely make a case for each. Turner is just relied upon so much, and for Wall, if he has a bad game someone else steps up. Turner doesn't have that luxury.

Haha, forgotten more basketball.

Face it, OSU went on the road to a Top 10 team and came away with a victory. That's not luck, they dug down deep and showed up in the 2nd half.

Just got back from the game (live in Lafayette, born raised college in Ohio)...

I have never heard Mackey Arena that loud or that quiet!! Awesome experience...

p.s.

WHERE WERE THE FELLOW BUCKEYE FAITHFUL ON HAND TONIGHT!!!

Stick to Cross Country? Lame. I have forgotten more about basketball then what you know.

For the 3rd time you make my point. OSU stole that one back. Call it what you want, I call it luck.

You are 12 down in the 2nd half to a top 10 team on their own court. Purdue lost that game as much as OSU won it.

With all of your self-proclaimed basketball knowledge, will the NCAA selection committee consult with you? Forgive me, but I don't sense much basketball knowledge when you are unwilling to give credit where credit is due for an impressive road win. If simple "luck" is what is required to win at Mackey Arena, it's curious that so many teams have had bad "luck" there the past couple of years.

You don't win at Purdue, a top 10 team, coming back from a deficit with luck. Purdue's not the type of team you get lucky and beat, they're the type of team you beat if you are good. Ohio State played an excellent game and never gave up, and Turner was unbelievable. Hummel an average player? Why cause he's white? get real dude

I'd like CC to explain something to me:

If Hummel is an "average" player as you say, how come he was one of only FIVE guys selected to the FIRST TEAM all Big Ten pre-season basketball team?

You do realize that an AVERAGE player is not selected to the FIRST TEAM in any sport, right?

Sorry bud, but you shot yourself in the ass with that comment.

Maybe that was one of the many things about basketball cc had forgotten?? There is only so much room in his brain for basketball knowledge obviously
