** Ohio State vs Iowa Basketball 1-21-23, 1:00PM FOX **

[Bonner]

Gus Johnson and Jim Jackson will be on the call.

OSU has been playing some shitty basketball and have lost five in a row. I hope the defense comes to play and keeps the Buckeyes shooting cold.

Iowa 70
OSU 67

I trust Jon Miller!

 

[Silky Johnson]

Ohio St has been playing like shit and seems to really be missing Branham and Liddell from last year. Undoubtedly some guy will shoot out of his ass for them on Saturday, but I’m hopeful we can pull away from them on the road for the 3rd straight year (which feels crazy).

what do you mean “seems”? They pretty clearly are not on the team.

 

[26.2]

Iowa by 100,000. Not as confident as Doug is.

 

[BBK]

They will rape us to death

 

[BBK]

Like against about 5 other teams in the conference, the results depend upon whether they decide to call fouls and/or we make a reasonable amount of outside shots

 

[HiawathaHawk]

They’ve lost 5 in a row but they’ve been close against a mostly tough schedule stretch. L by 2 to Purdue, in OT at Rutgers, 3 at Nebrantska and the bad home loss by 3 to Minnesota.

They’re going to play desperate. If we beat them they’re 10-9, 2-6 with three of the next for at Illinois, Indiana and Michigan.

 

[Brad Wesley]

Sounds like Patrick will be back.

 

[TJones3312]

Sounds like Patrick will be back.

 

[brantshawks]

Fuck!

OSU - 85
Iowa - 71

 

[UnKnOwN_SeRb]

He is still not well! He needs more time to deal with this.

 

[brantshawks]

If his brother actually loved him he'd be setting Fireworks off in the middle of the night for the next two nights right near his room

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

Sounds like Patrick will be back.

 

[Hawkstrat]

Even if we get good Pat- and he has had good games, he doesn't really fit.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

He’s bad on defense but the defense wasn’t better without him. If he comes back trying to force stuff and playing like he did before he left, he could mess stuff up. If he plays 20-25 mpg like he did last year and mostly did thru Wisconsin game, he’ll help. We’re running some guys into the ground and need more depth in February and March.

I’m too lazy to look but was rebounding better?

 

[The Full Monte]

Uhhhhh….

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Uhhhhh….

I am not ashamed

LOL. I guess coaches should stress that in all games.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

I’m too lazy to look but was rebounding better?

No but that’s without doing any opponent adjustments which can skew rebounding because of the teams that don’t even try to offensive rebound in favor of stopping transition.
Our best defensive rebounding game of the year was Penn State, his last, but he didn’t add much. These four have pretty much been in line with averages.

Our offensive rebounding has been slightly better without him.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

Yep, that’s how sports work.

 

[coff]

Yep, that’s how sports work.

Just coach desperation, you can never lose. +

 

[Hawkstrat]

I'm going to say something bold here, but I sure wish they wouldn't have lost to Eastern Illinois. Now it feels like the entire season hinges on every fucking game.

If the committee uses a game without a team's best player and essentially another starter to determine their worth that is kind of dumb but I'm sure it's impacted the metrics significantly.

I feel less anxiety about the game to game outcomes than most years. If this team is truly any good they should go on a run against a pretty shitty Big Ten. If they can't do that then they are probably closer to the terrible shooting team and retarded defensive team that has shown up on a few occasions and I don't want to watch them anyway.

 

[CleteyColgate]

So Gary was right

 

[TJones3312]

So Gary was right

No

 

[The Tin Man]

 

[HiawathaHawk]

I believe I saw Ohio State initially favored by 5, now it’s down to 3.

 

[Geese]

They should have Pat spend some time with Royce White. Just to help get his head right.

#BeWell

 

[Bovert]

I believe I saw Ohio State initially favored by 5, now it’s down to 3.

I got Iowa at +8.5 (-110) early and then grabbed some tOSU -0.5 (-110) this morning. Nice little middle. I'll respond to my own post to remind people if it wins

 

[ivan_drago]

I appreciate that, instead of admitting he doesn’t understand odds, Bovine has truly leaned all the way in and will never surrender.

 

[Rolo Tomassi]

They will rape us to death

Not a bad way to go.

Under his pillow.

Just under 10 ppg, 39% 3pt shooter.

damn! a 'dental emergency'?

Patrick in sweats per Kenny. Doesn’t look like he’s going.

Don’t be a retard.

Good point. Copy and paste is hard.

 

[Revolver]

Don’t be a retard.

In the future please cite all sources in MLA format.

 

[Kamala]

Wearing gray is stupid

 

[Hawkstrat]

So Gary was right

Is it strange being wrong about everything.

 

[Silky Johnson]

That was hard to watch. Pretty difficult to shoot that well and still lose by 16. We’ll still suck on defense per usual, but hopefully the effort comes back on Thursday.

 

[MikeyJoe]

Is it strange being wrong about everything.

Wrong and constantly stupid looking is a weird bit, but you've got to admit @CleteyColgate is at least committed.
