Bucks @ half

[victor2111]

Down 30-21

SO many ----- for the Bucks

1-12 from 3. Thad do you have any control on this team or do you tell them to go out there and just shoot 3's??

REBOUND....REBOUND...REBOUND...Do we know how to rebound??

Zone D sucks: man-to-man D might sucks also but I won't know because Thad won't try it once to see if it does sucks or doesn't

Thad never makes changes at halftime. You look at Bo Ryan from Wisconsin. He knows how to chance things up. Thad is great at recruiting players and is a solid coach but is he a great game day coach??

Nobody showed up for the game besides for Turner. Atleast he is driving the ball and getting the very few rebounds we have had. I HATE ZONE DEFENSE!

[victor2111]

What is going on!

Bucks not shooting 3's and getting the ball down low and what happens...they make a small run.

Go Bucks!

Go Bucks!

Koufos is finally playing well but they still can't stop White.

[victor2111]

OMFG!

A 3 on 1 for our Buckeyes and they thrown it out of bounds. How sad.

[victor2111]

agree OSG.. White is a beast and very hard to stop.



TURNER!!! now hit the FT.

[victor2111]

and here we go

get it down to a 2 point game

wide open 3 good for Indiana
Hunter misses a wide open short shot
Hunter blocks a shot and then Bucks let a SF get a rebound and put it back up
Koufos with a stupid turnover
Fouls Gordon after the stupid turnover
Gordon hits both FT

Bucks down by 9 after being down by 2 and that only took 1:30.


EDIT: Down to a 4point game with 1:30 to go in the game. If we ever learn how to box out we would probably have 2-3 more wins.

Koufos. What were you thinking with that pass. Butler nice way to step up when we needed you.

[ohiostatesgreat]

Now Butler hits the 3 where was that when we really needed it?

[victor2111]

Why Buckeyes?? Why??

Another L

7-25 from 3. 28%
21-37 from 2 point shots. 57%

Butler nice job showing up late in the game.

I am really trying to understand it but I just can't. We were doing great in the paint today and then with 3 min. to go down by 4 they start taking 3's left and right. Same thing happened in the Wis game and the Tenn game and Purdue game and the MSU game. If we didn't waste so many oppertunities launching 3's we would have a couple more wins.

I blame Thad. He is the coach and needs to get in the players faces and tell them to stop shooting the 3 when you shoot it only like 30% this season! 30%!

I don't mind shooting some 3's but 25 a game when you only shoot 30% is crazy. Start getting the ball down low.

My $.02, Buckeyes got ALOT of calls in the second half.

Don't feel too bad Vic. You can join my Gators in the NIT. Hey maybe we can play in the championship game again! Hahaha!

LOL..

Nice one Andy.

I always feel terrible when one of my sports teams lose...I still have faith Bucks make it to the big dance. All we have to do is win our last 3 games and I think were in. IF we don't do that then there is always the B10 tourny!

BUT there is that 1% chance that doesn't happen and we do go to the NIT. I would love to play Florida again.

Thats the spirit!

I gave up on my Gators when we lost to SEC winless LSU a few weeks back. The inexperience, and youth comments are fucking bullsh!t. You don't have to be a 4 year senior, or be a top 10 NBA prospect to play spirited and active DEFENSE. We can score 80+ points a game, and that would beat most teams in the nation, but when you don't play defense, you will lose them all. Billy Donovan needs to beat them with a defense stick.

I wouldn't get so mad at a loss if we played hard defense. I would rather see a 55-54 loss, than a 82-104 loss, not just because of the score difference, but the amount of defense played.

See you in the NIT. =)
