Yep and rotate one/two at a time.

Lazy turnovers.

Hot take warning. Bridges is a dang good player and there isn't a drop off from losing KB.

I suspect Drew pulled the starters for that reason. A bit surprising to replace that many, though. He knows this team better than anyone of us.

Bridges is a completely different player right now. What a turnaround for him.


He needs to keep it up for the duration

Sad looking at score box on tv and not see a BU ranking. When's the last time we've seen that?

Several years. Just means we will start another run.

Who's been working on Thambas free throws? Steve Nash out there.

Nice rebound from OSU's run. We've looked really good with the first group in tonight.

He's played consistently well since Big 12 play began.

Playing a little zone seems to be helping

OSU starters 6

Good guy starters 34

True. But the real turnaround began in Morgantown.

He averaged over 10 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks in the three games before that. He's been playing well. People just noticed during the WVU game because of the harassment he took.

OSU can't shoot… but our defense both technically and intensity looks better
historian
How long do you want to ignore this user?
You're right, of course, but I think he's had fewer mistakes lately

Agreed. And it was his first double double.
historian

They just need to be more consistent on defense. We know they are capable of doing very well defensively; they proved that against Gonzaga.

2-8 from 2?
historian

That was good defense

Josh O has to hammer that home

That was great offense!!!!

Lohner playing well. Rebounding, not over dribbling.
historian
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Lohner did not try to hit Asberry, he was wrangling for a position to rebound. That's pretty clear.
vanillabryce
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Double foul is BS. Asberry committed the foul.
Johnny Bear

All in all good first half.
