wow...Its about to get hard and we will see how good this team is!

Here is the schedule
#25 Syracuse @ NY - If we win this game then we got
TBA - It will most likely by #15 Texas A & M
VMI -easy game
- #1 North Carolina
- Butler

We could face #25 Syracuse - #15 Texas A&M - #1 North Carolina and then a good Butler team..

We are about to see how good this team is!

Well we don't have a perimeter defense so those could be very hard games for us.

I think these games might be a bit much for our young Buckeyes. To come out of this stretch with three wins we would need a very consistent defensive effort and would need to handle adversity. Unfortunately, these are things that are traditionally difficult for young players. Additionally we would need more consistent perimeter shooting from our 2 and 3 spots, especially Diebler.

Still this is a talented team and they could pull off a surprise or two during this stretch. Syracuse is also a young team, A&M may still suffer from a lack of leadership without Acie Law so they could be possibilities.

I will be honest enough to say I know nothing about how good Butler is this year but I am glad they are on the schedule.

UNC will likely be too much for us but I like seeing that kind of test on our schedule.

All these games are good for us because its only going to help us later on in the year. I would be happy with a 3-2 record and would love a 4-1 or 5-0 record.

remember..we might not play Texas A&M. We have to beat Syracuse and Texas A&M has to win their 2 games.

I really just want to win the preseason NIT.
Here is how it goes down
Ohio State vs Syracuse - winner of that makes the championship game

On the other said you got
Texas A&M vs UTEP and Washing vs UTAH
winner of those game will play each other. Then the winner of those teams will play Ohio State or Syracuse for the championship game and I'm guessing that will be Texas A&M.

I wouldn't even call VMI easy! Tough road ahead of us. It's great to have these games early on though to test us before we reach conference play.
