LTP is caling it the most important game in NU basketball history. Fresh off a win at Mackey, the Wildcats could very well punch a ticket to the dance with a win today in Columbus.

The Buckeyes need the win nearly as badly. While we think the Bucks may have already done enough for an invitation to the tournament, a win here would provide insurance in case they flame-out in the first round of the conference tourney.

Should be another nerve-wracking fun Sunday of Buckeye basketball. Turner had one of his worst outings of the season when the teams met in Evanston and here's to hoping he's a little revenge-motivated this evening.

Well, the trend of late has been teams coming off the nadir of their season to blow us off the court, so hopefully that voodoo will be turned on its head after NW's win at Mackey.

T on 8 March 2009 - 3:43pm #

Does anyone know of any live streams for those without BTN? Thanks.

Vico on 8 March 2009 - 4:02pm #

Revenge On the Nerds. I'm feeling it.

poguemahone on 8 March 2009 - 4:14pm #

10-4 good guys, 15:15 left in the second half.

poguemahone on 8 March 2009 - 4:14pm #

No streams to be found on justin.tv, btw.

TLB on 8 March 2009 - 4:15pm #

Can usually count on JustinTV but I don't see it today.

TLB on 8 March 2009 - 4:18pm #

Set Shot Buford is hot hot hot

poguemahone on 8 March 2009 - 4:20pm #

kris on 8 March 2009 - 4:25pm #

21-6, bitches. Getting to the point where our usual drought can't even allow NW to come back.

Also, in honor of NW's 20 percent FG percentage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

TLB on 8 March 2009 - 4:27pm #

I bet there is an opening for a driver at a local bus company.

poguemahone on 8 March 2009 - 4:28pm #

Check that, shooting 18 percent from the field.

poguemahone on 8 March 2009 - 4:33pm #

Speaking of droughts, I don't think we've scored in what, four minutes?

TLB on 8 March 2009 - 4:34pm #

doing our best to let them back in it.

kris on 8 March 2009 - 4:35pm #

ok time to score some points.... getting worried

TLB on 8 March 2009 - 4:35pm #

Groundhog day.

kris on 8 March 2009 - 4:36pm #

wow bouford.... just wow

poguemahone on 8 March 2009 - 4:37pm #

Clearly spoke too soon. GENESIS TIEM: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

poguemahone on 8 March 2009 - 4:43pm #

Hey, what's this thing where we get the ball in the basket again?

TLB on 8 March 2009 - 4:44pm #

Kinda nice to watch a game without the officials trying to get TV time.

calibuck on 8 March 2009 - 4:46pm #

When will bj realize you actually need to touch someone when you set a screens

Poe McKnoe on 8 March 2009 - 4:47pm #

that was pathetic, NW. Kid almost knocked himself out on Mullens.

Gobrutus on 8 March 2009 - 4:47pm #

Sending this from the game. Will someone please write when we hear about Dallas? Thanks!

TLB on 8 March 2009 - 4:49pm #

Impressive display?

He watching the same game?

Anonymous Internet Person on 8 March 2009 - 4:49pm #

Iso PJ Hill for the last possession? Not sure I get that.

poguemahone on 8 March 2009 - 4:50pm #

The last five or so minutes of that half were a holocaust of shot selection. Looked like a game between 5th grade girls.

corey on 8 March 2009 - 4:52pm #

Ohio state did nothing after NW went to the 1-3-1 zone

TLB on 8 March 2009 - 4:56pm #

Playing a different game on CBS.

BuckeyeChief on 8 March 2009 - 4:57pm #

You know, no offense to BJ, but it pisses me off to no end that the only time you hear a success story is when the guy can play ball. What about the kids who achieve academically and get out of a fucked up situation? Or the kid who joins the military and overachieves? Good on BJ but please let people know you don't have to be a jock to achieve in life.

TLB on 8 March 2009 - 5:04pm #

Listen to the crowd at UNC, then check out the lack of cheering in our lame-ass arena.

Jason on 8 March 2009 - 5:06pm #

Word is a left shoulder sprain for DL. Ice and evaluated for a return in the 2nd half.

Jason on 8 March 2009 - 5:08pm #

Oh, and the Lady Bucks are up two on Purdue on ESPN2.

TLB on 8 March 2009 - 5:10pm #

2 points in first 4 min out of halftime. Nice adjustments

Jason on 8 March 2009 - 5:11pm #

Barn-burner. Again.

kris on 8 March 2009 - 5:11pm #

suck it up deb and play some d

Chris on 8 March 2009 - 5:13pm #

Why didn't matta immediately call timeout afte diebler was clearly dazed? instead deebs turns it over and we give up a 3 at the other end? Dumb.

kris on 8 March 2009 - 5:13pm #

ok i call situation... its Duke vs UNC. UNC is ranked 2 and Duke is ranked 7th... what more reason do you need to cheer your head off if your a fan of either team.
Its Ohio State vs Northwestern... come on

kris on 8 March 2009 - 5:15pm #

we look like crap... like no one really cares.. are we even playin a basketball game here or horse shoes?

Poe McKnoe on 8 March 2009 - 5:15pm #

I hope the Buckeyes can break 50.

Poe McKnoe on 8 March 2009 - 5:16pm #

Also, can we get some pine tar for these guys? Yikes.

DB on 8 March 2009 - 5:21pm #

can we pass to the open guy once? last 5 trips down there has been a player open on the wing.

Jason on 8 March 2009 - 5:23pm #

The joy of young teams. They don't know how to put opponents away.

Chris on 8 March 2009 - 5:25pm #

Matta should send Carmody a thank you card for opening in man to man..NU has kicked OSU's ass since changing to zone midway through the first half.

kris on 8 March 2009 - 5:29pm #

PJ hill missed the lob to mullins, and then deb.... god damn man he wide open for the lob everytime down... get mullins the ball ....!!!!!

kris on 8 March 2009 - 5:31pm #

he took out mullins? why?

Jason on 8 March 2009 - 5:32pm #

The lead was too big.

TLB on 8 March 2009 - 5:36pm #

We might want to guard that Moore kid.

This blog run on Central time?

kris on 8 March 2009 - 5:37pm #

god can someone get Coble a damn cheeseburger

TLB on 8 March 2009 - 5:37pm #

1st one to 45 wins.

Poe McKnoe on 8 March 2009 - 5:38pm #

Turner-time

Alex on 8 March 2009 - 5:38pm #

anybody have an extra universal remote control? don't think mine made it just now when I threw it at my wall

Alex on 8 March 2009 - 5:39pm #

didn't spring forward yet!

Poe McKnoe on 8 March 2009 - 5:40pm #

It's better than needing a new remote AND a new TV.

kris on 8 March 2009 - 5:40pm #

Matta - "look guys we have to stop the free-for-all at the three point line. These guys can shoot the three ball well so we need to guard them."

Team - "But coach if we guard them then they won't score."

Matt - "oh yeah, i forgot about that. On second thought we'll just run the zone."

TLB on 8 March 2009 - 5:44pm #

hmmm.......I didn't see a foul.

If he did not get it off, can there be a foul?

Alex on 8 March 2009 - 5:44pm #

well after that I need the tv too

kris on 8 March 2009 - 5:45pm #

wow deb did'n.. even.. touch.. him

Alex on 8 March 2009 - 5:45pm #

if the foul occurred before the shot clock hit 0 it can still be a foul

Alex on 8 March 2009 - 5:46pm #

are we really going to get swept by NW?

kris on 8 March 2009 - 5:46pm #

and the no call on jumping into deb... nice refs

poguemahone on 8 March 2009 - 5:47pm #

Everyone experiencing headaches, motion sickness - I know a guy who knows a guy. Business thrives for him every time Ohio State plays

kris on 8 March 2009 - 5:48pm #

god and he's coming back next year... wow

poguemahone on 8 March 2009 - 5:49pm #

This Moore cat is going to be playing in Sri Lanka next year.

TLB on 8 March 2009 - 6:51pm #

I miss Bill Hosket

Jason on 8 March 2009 - 6:51pm #

Yeah, for as great as WP is, the one thing it still doesn't do is daylight savings time.

GoBucks89 on 8 March 2009 - 6:54pm #

WHAT A BIG SHOT!!!

GoBucks89 on 8 March 2009 - 6:55pm #

I guess now we just guard the 3-point line and let them have the 2-pointers if they want them?

kris on 8 March 2009 - 6:57pm #

we foul them... foul foul foul!!!!!!!!

Jason on 8 March 2009 - 6:57pm #

That sucks.

TLB on 8 March 2009 - 6:57pm #

I guess you forgot about the inbound pass.

bup bup bup on 8 March 2009 - 6:58pm #

aw dammit how did i forget about this game

bup bup bup on 8 March 2009 - 6:59pm #

i've gotta make up for lost time

bup bup bup on 8 March 2009 - 6:59pm #

ironic pop culture reference repeated ad nauseum

bup bup bup on 8 March 2009 - 6:59pm #

pithy argument with poguemahone

TLB on 8 March 2009 - 7:00pm #

Think of every game we played this year.

bup bup bup on 8 March 2009 - 7:00pm #

CAPITALIZED CURSE WORDS

poguemahone on 8 March 2009 - 7:00pm #

Huh?

poguemahone on 8 March 2009 - 7:00pm #

Oh, never mind, I get it. Jolly good show.

poguemahone on 8 March 2009 - 7:01pm #

FUCKING END

bup bup bup on 8 March 2009 - 7:01pm #

hahah what in the hell kind of shot was that

WHO CARES GAME OVAH thanks diebster

GoBucks89 on 8 March 2009 - 7:02pm #

At least we managed to not mess it up at the end. That was textbook execution in the last 43 seconds. Better late than never.

poguemahone on 8 March 2009 - 7:03pm #

It's that time again! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

TLB on 8 March 2009 - 7:03pm #

You see the inbound off the leg?

GoBucks89 on 8 March 2009 - 7:04pm #

Pick a different video because that one's been yanked.

poguemahone on 8 March 2009 - 7:05pm #

Still works for me?

bup bup bup on 8 March 2009 - 7:07pm #

i prefer metal health

Ken on 8 March 2009 - 7:11pm #

Is there any reason why we can't play worth a shit in the 2nd half against NW?

Vico on 8 March 2009 - 7:33pm #

The ladies just won the Big Ten Tournament too. Not a bad day for hoops.

BuckeyeChief on 8 March 2009 - 8:40pm #

And another thing, we all know Rod Parsley is a crook...
