OSU @ Northwestern

[cwerph]

Thad made changes to the lineup. Loving and Williams on the bench. Tate and Lee starting.

Still terrible start. 8-0 NW to begin the game.

Is there a worse rebounding team in the country?

NW up 21-10 at the under 12:00 time out.

yuck.

Buckeyes come back . . . under 8 time out, NW did not score, now 21-20. NW started missing shots and not getting as many 2nd chance buckets.

This team is tough to watch. They look so good at times, and others, not so much.
I like mixing the lineup up a bit. This team has tons of talent and experience. Just need to find the right mix.

Russell definitely showing why he'll be gone sooner than later.

Should be down by 1 here.
I'd be pissed if I were NW too.
About time we get a couple breaks.

Russell is putting on a clinic

Could be worse, you could be rooting for Xavier....we suck,. time for Mack to go

[cwerph]

OSU is doing everything it can to lose this game. Missed every free throw so far in the final two minutes, just turned the ball over on an inbound play. unbelievable.

Damn tired legs - three straight misses on the front of one and one....

heh ofc Russel is doing well.....NW isn't a good team.

That kid doesn't impress me. Call me when he plays well against an above average squad.

When you have no one else to help you, it's hard to do it by yourself.

This team has experience but goes to show you having seniors doesn't mean good things. Just let the young guys have fun

[mauricxe]

Ofc u would defend him. Lol

[victor2111]

Well you're wrong 90% of the time so i have to

[mauricxe]

Wrong junior.....wrong

Well, I'm probably wrong about that. But not Russell.

The dude has some of the best passes you will see from a freshman. I can think of at least 5 passes that were sportscenter top 10 plays. Amazing vision for a freshman.

He is averaging 18.6PPG shooting 46% FG, 44% 3PT, & 80% FT. As a Freshman. FRESHMAN. WITH NO OTHER LEGIT SCORING OPTION OR POST GAME. Think about that.


Has he had some bad games? Yes. Not too surprising when you put the best defender on him and then make sure he can't get the ball in a good spot. In some games, Russell gets the ball way beyond the 3pt line and expected to take it 1 on 3. That will not work.


Russell is an amazing talent. He needs some help though. He doesn't have a sidekid. A great #2 option. Give him a post guy, and he would be a lot better. A guy that could run the pick and roll.

You're trying to tell me a freshman that is averaging 18.6PPG, 5RPG, 5APG, and shoots a great % sucks. LOL. Come on Ken.
