Northwestern scares me... not sure what type of road team they are but they're scary good at Welsh-Ryan... do we have to make a trip there?

I guess things aren't all doom and gloom since we're back to .500 in the league but we still have a long way to climb with key games left against Michigan State, Minnesota, and others...

I don't believe OSU travels to Northwestern this season.

In any event, this should be a much closer game than people (who don't understand how much Northwestern has improved) think.

I think the score will be relatively close but it should be clear that OSU dominated the game. OSU has tended to get suckered into the slowdown Northwestern style so I definitely won't be surprised by a low scoring game. I think it should be similar to the Wisconsin game, something like 61-53.

Northwestern has picked up the tempo this year. I believe they're at least in the Top 5 in the nation in assists, and have an outstanding PG. OSU defensively will struggle mightily against the Carmody-Princeton offense, but I don't think anyone on Northwestern can matchup one-on-one with Evan Turner. Should be a great game...

Go Bucks! Need to get on a roll here and get back in the race.

The next five games look like this:

1/23 @ West Virginia
1/27 @ Iowa
1/31 Minnesota
2/3 Penn State
2/7 Iowa

I like our chances to take 2 from Iowa and beat Penn State and I'd like to think we beat Minny in the return game.

The line on this game is 12 1/2, I think that is too many, Nothwestern is a good shooting team and very disciplined. I think the Bucks win but it will be less than 10 points. Turner is too athletic for Northwestern to handle.

I think OSU rolls in this game by 10+ since its at home. OSU just finished handling a better Wisky team, just as disciplined and better coached. And that with Turner possibly playing his worst game in a LONG while. I highly doubt we will see Turner struggle in back to back games. I think he goes off tonite. Just hope OSU is NOT overlooking NW heading into a big OCC game with WV.

Doesn't look to be a big crowd on hand tonight. This is about as good as they have played on both ends of the court in a while.

And I love Gus Johnson on the call. The noises he makes on plays like Buford's two baseline dunks are awesome.

Will the announcers please quit saying, "Evan Turner is well on his way to another triple double" when he only had 3 assists at the half. They just made another comment about how he is closing in on it and he has 4 assists.

Not that he won't get there, but quit talking about it.

Yeah, he'll get the rebounds but getting 6 assists will be hard imo.

He might get it, but it shouldn't be talked about.

And I just had to listen to the announcer say that Diebler reminded him of Craig Ehlo, I threw up a little in my mouth.
