What a grueling stretch. 9 games since the 30th. Penn St, Purdue had 8 and both those schedules included a bunny. Time for a five day rest.
 
Can't do much about the other team hitting 11-14 mostly contested threes and a half court buzzer beater. Stayed relentless throughout. This is a good Buckeye basketball team
 
Personally, and perhaps in a biased manner, I thought the game turned when the official called Tate for a bogus charge which would have been a 3-point play opportunity to put OSU up 4 early in the second half. Instead Penn State got it back and took the lead, then went on a little run
 
The first five are carrying the load,need just a little more from the bench but it's amazing where we are.

Buckeyes build a lead in the first half and cruise control the rest of the way. Move to 19-5 and 10-1 in B1G play. Host Illinois on Sunday at Noon (FS1) before the big showdown at West Lafayette on Wednesday.

Good bounce back win over the Archie Millers. Tate and Wesson were unstoppable around the rim. Wesson probably should have gotten more looks
 
These guys are so unselfish with each other,amazing what this guy has done with this group.
 
Good win. Illinois came out hot and played very hard on defense all game. Was at the game and it was probably the best crowd we've had in five years
 
Who would have thought we'd be talking about getting in the Big dance with maybe a fourth seed.

Whew! Had we worried a couple of times. Bucks started taking control when their big man fouled out. The last five minutes were sweet.
 
Losing a senior can be tough. Looked up minutes and it's a pretty big drop-off. Who will get those minutes? Dakich and Jallow? Good experience for Jallow before NCAAs.


Fine to stronger I'd say. Gives next man up more time.
 
Down by two at half 31-29,Purdue BIG ugly basketball need to keep the centers in the game.
