Scouting Ohio State

Ohio State last lost on February 17, a 71-49 loss to Wisconsin. Since then, the Buckeyes have won five straight, with wins over then #4 Michigan State (68-60) and then #2 Indiana (67-58). The Buckeyes capped their regular season last Sunday with a 68-55 win over Illinois, earning a two seed and a first-round bye in the Big Ten Tournament. Aaron Craft was a top performer with 14 points on 4-of-7 shooting, four rebounds, six assits, and three steals.

As a team, The Buckeyes are fourth in the Big Ten in scoring offense at 70.2 points per game, but have been stout on defense, ranking fourth in the conference in scoring defense (60.9) and third in field goal defense (.411). Ohio State features one of the nation's top players in Deshaun Thomas, as the first-team preseason All-American leads the Big Ten in scoring at 19.7 ppg. Lenzelle Smith Jr. joins Thomas in double figures, as he averages 10.1 ppg. The Buckeyes also have two of the nation's top point guards in junior Aaron Craft (9.7 ppg, 4.5 apg, 2.0 spg) and Shannon Scott (5.0 ppg, 3.8 apg, 1.8 spg), as both guards rank among the top five in the Big Ten in steals.

Latest line: Ohio State by 13 1/2 with O/U of 118 1/2

Points on this game are right on or very close. Love to predict an upset but when I am reviewing data and it favors an OSU win and looks for a score of 65 to 52.

C'mon Huskers, play loose and have fun boys, as you have nothing to lose and everything to gain! GBR :power

 
My dream scenario is a W tonight and then a W against Iowa to once again ruin their tourney dreams. While ending up in the conference championship game.

i was moreso hoping we could get a quarter game with Michigan St or Wisconsin. We've competed quite well with them two for the most part. Ohio St has completely blown us out of the water in 3 of 4 games. I just wanna see us compete like hell and make sort of a statement- win or lose.

 
Sold my Big 12 ticket just so I could watch this game, first in a while that I have seen. Totally worth it cause I sold it for double face value!

 
Wouldn't you love to hear Time Miles' pregame speech to the guys? I dunno what he says, but he sure gets them fired up. Gets the absolute most out of this team, talent-wise. :thumbs :
