Should be a great game and can't wait to be in attendance... Hopefully they play as inspired and great as they did Sunday. Thoughts? GO BUCKS

I think that Ohio State has settled in a little bit and is ready for the big push they will need to secure a good spot in the upcoming NCAA Tournament.

I have an uneasy feeling about this game. I think Purdue is VERY good. IMO, they have all the parts needed for a run to the final four. With Jackson back playing now, they are only getting better as well. Hummel and Moore are very good players. Johnson, although a bit inconsistant at times, is a solid post player who didn't play well at all vs OSU last time (4pts, 5tb).
OSU will have to continue to play well to win this game IMO. OSU will have to defend and rebound. Its a MUST, that Lauderdale stay out of foul trouble. Madsen vs Johnson is HUGE mismatch. Game is at home, which is an obvious advantage. But it won't be easy at all.

I have a feeling that the Schott will be rocking for this game. I heard they were offering a buy 1 ticket, get 1 free.
I think OSU wins this one and loses to Michigan State to go 2-1 in the tough 3 game stretch.

Ever since Matta took over the Ohio State program, his teams get better late in the season. Since the Bucks are riding a late winning streak this year, I look for them to continue it. Buckeyes by 4 in a close one.

Should be a great one. I give the edge to OSU because they are at home (even though it is more of a corporate environment)
OSU 68-62.

Big game both ways. IF Osu can win I think they'll do well and get a good seed (maybe a 3)...If Purdue wins...they could be looking at a #1....if OSU loses....they'll need to regain much momentum as they have a good bit built up.

4 tickets? I don't have tickets, I assumed that the game was already a sellout. l would have made the trip down to cbus if I could have got them. I tried to get them tonight once I saw they were BOGO but those ones have been sold it appears. When I was in school there, I don't remember the schott not being sold out for big games or at least very close to it.

I love the Bucks here as long as Evan and Dallas stay out of foul trouble. Thad will have a game plan to keep Hummel from repeating his proformance in West Lafeyette. Look for Lighty to lock down Hummel and the Bucks to win 71-63.

Are the bucks going with the gray jerseys or are they going with a whiteout?

Oh man I have no idea what to think of this game.
On one thought, we survived Hummel's barrage and still managed to win in West Lafayette.
Another thought is that Purdue IS more talented than us, something I'm not blind to.
I still think OSU will win this, only because I truly objectively feel that Turner is the best player in the country this year, and you can't count out the Bucks simply because of that fact.
68-66 Buckeyes.

The game appears to be sold out.
I just tried to look for tickets 5 minutes ago on Ticketmaster and came up with nothing.

If it finally sold out, that's good. I know that as of yesterday late afternoon, there were only about 1,000 tickets left and they were scattered around (probably many of them in the nosebleed sections).
My concern is that Diebler's wrist isn't as healthy as Matta and everyone else is saying. If it's sore and throws off his shot, that hurts Ohio State's chances by removing one of their key threats (Purdue can pack it inside and focus on stopping Turner).
For OSU to win, they need Turner's usual stellar performance along with two other guys scoring at least in the mid teens (Diebler, Buford, Lauderdale or Lighty). I also believe Lighty has to continue his recent resurgence of penetrating inside and finishing.

OSU has won 9 straight at home against Purdue.
Also looking for a 10th straight conference win after a 1-3 start.

You talk as if you have tickets. Those who live in glass houses tickets.

If I still lived in Columbus I would have gotten tickets. Like I said, when I saw there were still tickets available I tried to get them so I could make the 2 and half hour drive down to the game. My original question is how can the game not be sold out when there are 2 top 10 teams playing. Easily the biggest game of the year in Columbus. lol at glass house. Where are your tickets douchebag?
