With the loss to PSU, and a possible loss at home to MSU, you guys really need this one today. Three losses in a row, and OSU will be on the bubble going in to the B10 tourney
Haven't paid enough attention to know about bubbles. OSU isn't in Joe Linardi's Last 4 In, Last 4 Out or the Next 4 Out list. However, I agree that a win today would be really good.
I could agree with you, but I would be wrong too. How is that going to help anyone?
The Watch has a confession to make: It should have moved Ohio State to lockdom in Tuesday's update. How does it know? Because on Thursday night, the Buckeyes lost 65-63 at Penn State, but when it came time to decide their fate Friday morning, the Watch still couldn't find a good reason OSU wouldn't make the tournament. With top-20 RPI and schedule numbers and just two sub-100 losses (both to Penn State, in fact), it is impossible that Thad Matta's team could lose at Indiana and at home against Michigan State in the next nine days and not be a No. 8 seed at minimum entering the Big Ten tournament. It feels weird to lock up a team after a loss to Penn State, but hey, live and learn.

FWIW: Lunardi doesn't do bubble watch. He does bracketology but not the bubble watch part.
Right now, tOSU is a #6 seed most likely entering today. They can either improve on that and get to #5 seed by playing well to end the season, maybe going 3-1(1L being in BTT). Or they could lose out(0-3) and become a #10/#11 seed most likely.
I would say if tOSU goes 2-0 to finish the year, and then makes BTT game, they can get up to #4 seed in NCAA tourney.
Who is hating? Just stating an opinion, and I think OSU still has work to do after two bad losses
Lol my haters gonna hate was at ABM for calling me a punk. lol. Just having fun with him.
Ohio State is in though and a lock bro. Who you taking over them? Look at bubble teams right now. Nebraksa, Minnesota, Oregon, Florida State, St John, Tennessee, Providence, Marquette, Missouri, Oklahoma State, Arkansas, etc.
Ohio State is in a lot better shape than those teams. They could lose the last two and still will be in better shape than most of those teams above, probably all. Now if all those teams win out, we can talk.
Team Russell Westbrook Team Conor McGregor
Haters gonna Hate.

No consistent "go to" shooter. Can't hit a three when we need one to spread out the game from inside the paint. Craft is getting mauled inside because he can't dish off to anyone on the outside who has has a reliable three. Teams know we're not an outside threat, so they clog up the inside game. We need Jon Diebler's clone.
