Spring fever anyone?

Hopefully none of you are suffering from sunburn because the recent growth of the Buckeye hoopsters might inspire some out-of-your-seat high-fives to buddies, significant others, pets or anything else in the general vicinity for the next two hours.

Some good ol'-fashioned Big Ten-Eee speed going down in Storrs. I'm telling you, UCONN would be lucky to finish 8th in the Big Ten. The Midwest is just too fast.

The analyst guy said something about "Motown Toughness at one point", referring to two guys from Indiana. Right.

poguemahone on 7 February 2009 - 9:11pm #

er, those quotations were supposed to end at "toughness", oh well.

Swatterdale already showing up

Tom Blogical on 7 February 2009 - 9:13pm #

LOL! You know it.

tommy on 7 February 2009 - 9:53pm #

Would someone mind giving some live score updates for those of us not able to get the Big Ten Network? Thanks alot.

Halftime - Buckeyes 29, Gophers 26

Tom Blogical on 7 February 2009 - 10:22pm #

I know this happened in the first half, but I just want to say that Evan Turner is one hell of an athlete. The block and then recovering to knock the ball out of bounds off the shooter was jaw dropping. Incredible play.

Tom Blogical on 7 February 2009 - 10:26pm #

Are there statistics kept on conversions after turnovers? My perception is that these guys sometimes have a problem taking advantage of those opportunities.

Jason on 7 February 2009 - 10:34pm #

That play was a thing of beauty. Rucker-style.

enosu on 7 February 2009 - 10:38pm #

Why does JJ keep calling BJ Mullens, BJ Mullen? I think Turner's new name should be Evan Turnover.

Jason on 7 February 2009 - 10:44pm #

He's always been fond of giving the ball away, but tonight, he's a little more sloppy than he usually is. The four-point play just now did not help.

Jason on 7 February 2009 - 10:46pm #

Damn, this one's heating up.

enosu on 7 February 2009 - 10:47pm #

can't they guard that guy...fucking ridiculous

Tom Blogical on 7 February 2009 - 10:48pm #

That was not very smart D. Just let him shoot it if he's that wide open.

Tom Blogical on 7 February 2009 - 10:48pm #

The last shot taken by Turner was an abomination. He's got to know to get it out of there in that situation, instead of taking an impossible shot.

Jason on 7 February 2009 - 10:52pm #

Thankfully, B.J.'s follow-dunk made up for it.

Anonymous Internet Person on 7 February 2009 - 10:54pm #

score?

Tom Blogical on 7 February 2009 - 10:54pm #

Sigh. That's twice Minny has gotten an offensive rebound off a foul shot. Inexcusable to not box that guy out.

Tom Blogical on 7 February 2009 - 10:55pm #

59-54 Bucks.

Anonymous Internet Person on 7 February 2009 - 10:56pm #

Thanks

Tom Blogical on 7 February 2009 - 10:58pm #

Now 61-54 with Turner going to the line and 29 seconds left.

Tom Blogical on 7 February 2009 - 10:58pm #

63-54.

Anonymous Internet Person on 7 February 2009 - 10:59pm #

Appreciate it

Jason on 7 February 2009 - 11:01pm #

Good win. Don't look now, but the Buckeyes are the #2 team in the RPI's 2nd-best conference.

Anonymous Internet Person on 7 February 2009 - 11:01pm #

Back in the top 25?

Jason on 7 February 2009 - 11:02pm #

Should be.

Tom Blogical on 7 February 2009 - 11:02pm #

63-56 with 4.3 left...I think we can safely call it now...barring something wild.

Tom Blogical on 7 February 2009 - 11:04pm #

64-58 is the final score. L8r!

BuckeyeChief07 on 7 February 2009 - 11:05pm #

JJ?

Tom Blogical on 7 February 2009 - 11:08pm #

Yeah, and I think they're really playing well right now. They have some lapses here and there, but their shooting percentage is really helping them out.

Does anybody else think the guys are playing a little over their heads right now? I'm definitely not complaining, I love that happening over a team not playing up to their potential. I'm just a little concerned their shooting percentage will drop off and they may come down out of the clouds somewhat.

Tom Blogical on 7 February 2009 - 11:11pm #

One more thing...now that I'm watching Gene Keady, I think the greatest name ever invented for a student cheering section was "The Gene Pool". Hilarious and perfect.

Matt on 7 February 2009 - 11:13pm #

I haven't been following the other big ten teams very much. Anyone else out there that can give Evan Turner a run for his money for Big 10 player of the year?

BuckeyeChief07 on 7 February 2009 - 11:18pm #

Never mind i got it

sam on 8 February 2009 - 12:55am #

better be

Kyle on 8 February 2009 - 1:15am #

Aside from Titus? Hell no.
