Northwestern Open Thread

Television: BTN
Radio: OSU Basketball Affiliates

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.

  2. T says:

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

  3. Vico says:

    Revenge On the Nerds. I’m feeling it.

  4. poguemahone says:

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

  5. poguemahone says:

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

  6. TLB says:

    Set Shot Buford is hot hot hot

  7. tampa buckeye says:

    i see pj hill hit a 3
    anything we get from him on offense is gravy.

  8. poguemahone says:

    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=VNaDZIrxh-0

  9. TLB says:

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

  10. poguemahone says:

    Check that, shooting 18 percent from the field.

  11. poguemahone says:

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

  12. TLB says:

    doing our best to let them back in it.

  13. kris says:

    ok time to score some points…. getting worried

  14. TLB says:

    Groundhog day.

  15. kris says:

    wow bouford…. just wow

  16. poguemahone says:

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

  17. TLB says:

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

  18. calibuck says:

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

  19. Poe McKnoe says:

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

  20. Gobrutus says:

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

  21. TLB says:

    Impressive display?

    He watching the same game?

  22. Anonymous says:

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

  23. poguemahone says:

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

  24. corey says:

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

  25. TLB says:

    Playing a different game on CBS.

  26. BuckeyeChief says:

    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.

  27. TLB says:

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

    • kris says:

      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

  28. Jason says:

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

  29. TLB says:

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

  30. Jason says:

    Barn-burner. Again.

  31. kris says:

    suck it up deb and play some d

  32. Chris says:

    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.

  33. kris says:

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

  34. Poe McKnoe says:

    I hope the Buckeyes can break 50.

  35. DB says:

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

  36. Jason says:

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

  37. Chris says:

    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.

  38. kris says:

    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 ….!!!!!

  39. kris says:

    he took out mullins? why?

  40. TLB says:

    We might want to guard that Moore kid.

    This blog run on Central time?

  41. kris says:

    god can someone get Coble a damn cheeseburger

  42. TLB says:

    1st one to 45 wins.

  43. Alex says:

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

  44. kris says:

    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.”

  45. TLB says:

    hmmm…….I didn’t see a foul.

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

  46. kris says:

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

  47. Alex says:

    are we really going to get swept by NW?

  48. kris says:

    and the no call on jumping into deb… nice refs

  49. poguemahone says:

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

  50. kris says:

    god and he’s coming back next year… wow

  51. poguemahone says:

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

  52. TLB says:

    I miss Bill Hosket

  53. GoBucks89 says:

    WHAT A BIG SHOT!!!

  54. GoBucks89 says:

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

  55. kris says:

    we foul them… foul foul foul!!!!!!!!

  56. Jason says:

    That sucks.

  57. bup bup bup says:

    aw dammit how did i forget about this game

  58. bup bup bup says:

    i’ve gotta make up for lost time

  59. bup bup bup says:

    hahah what in the hell kind of shot was that

    WHO CARES GAME OVAH thanks diebster

  60. GoBucks89 says:

    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.

  61. Ken says:

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

  62. Vico says:

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

  63. BuckeyeChief says:

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