I doubt OSU is going to just keep missing 3's all over the place. We'd better figure out a way to start scoring and maybe getting some ball movement on the offensive end instead of just a bunch of one on one stuff.

Mario should've found Makai there. Bad Mario tonight so far.

Is Kegler about 0 for 10 at this point?

Just forcing shots all over the place and no ball movement so far tonight. Kegler the main culprit.

Just get to the half with any sort of lead and figure it out there. If we were playing anyone else, could easily be down 15.

There is none because we're not getting set. It's just someone dribbling down court and forcing a shot up.

Kegler and Vital have been ball stoppers big time tonight. If those guys aren't going to pass the ball or rebound, get them out and go with four guards and Gillespie.

4 point lead only because we have 20 points more talent than they do.

Sloppy and ugly, but there's not much doubt we'll win this game. OSU won't out grind us.

You also have to believe that at least one of Bulter, Kegler, Bandoo, Vital, McClure will actually do something on offense.

We're shooting almost 44 percent (over 45 percent from 3) with 12 assists to three turnovers and have held them to 35.3 shooting. There's a disproportionate amount of *****ing here given those facts.

Welcome to the game thread, I guess.

Bandoo is 2 for 3 from the field with two assists. He's played fine.

Thanks for those facts. It sure didn't feel like it. But those are positives.

Yeah.

These guys are pretty good about gathering themselves at half time. Unless they go inexplicably cold in the second half, we win by 10-14.

He's been fine but we've become accustomed to him taking over at times. That's usually comes in the second half so I expect more shots from him.

0-3 so far but these possessions look so much crisper than anything we saw in the first 20
