Go Bucks

dubjayfootball90 on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:02pm #

ugh, complete 180 in the past minute. went from shedding a tear at the end of under cover bosses to yelling at the tv to get this game started.

LETS GO BUCKS!!!!

Urbanmania on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:02pm #

Tim Miles very complimentary towards Ohio State

JakeBuckeye on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:03pm #

If anybody has a link, please let me know. I have Time Warner in Southern California. Safe to say I have no BTN.

BTN2Go

You should be able to use your Time Warner Cable information to login and watch the game online. If this doesn't work, reply back and I can send you more links.

I'm pretty sure you have to have BTN on your TV to get BTN2Go :/

Awesome sauce, thanks much!

JLBNYC on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:04pm #

Love to see Q get some quality minutes tonight

dubjayfootball90 on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:07pm #

w00t, good series

dubjayfootball90 on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:08pm #

oh my goodness, how did that go in haha. that was intense and you cant be mad at that

Knarcisi on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:09pm #

I think that Gallegos shot hit more rim and board for a made shot I think I've ever seen.

Cleats8 on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:10pm #

Anyone know a good link to stream/watch this on?

Knarcisi on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:10pm #

Maybe C Carter can help Amir with his hands.

dubjayfootball90 on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:11pm #

Amir doing some good OR work

Jason Staff on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:13pm #

I have this hope that he's starting to come to life, but I'm trying not to get too far ahead of myself.

Knarcisi on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:13pm #

Agreed but like earlier this week having a lot of trouble getting the ball back up to the rim.

dubjayfootball90 on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:15pm #

agreed with both you and Jason on this one, 100%

the419 on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:12pm #

can you imagine having to watch penn state vs nebraska? shoot me in the face.

Knarcisi on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:15pm #

More pump fakes and drives from Smith and Thompson rather than jacking 3s would make me a happy man.

JLBNYC on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:16pm #

Nebraska is going to have big problems with OSU's D

dubjayfootball90 on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:21pm #

from hot to cold, just like that

dubjayfootball90 on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:21pm #

SLAM!!!

Knarcisi on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:22pm #

Throw it down young fella !

smith5568 on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:22pm #

from hot to cold to slam

BME_Buckeye on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:23pm #

In other news Ohio State is up 1-0 in Hockey over Notre Dame!

Not the best start for deshaun so far

TLB on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:24pm #

Slop slop sloppy joes

Knarcisi on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:25pm #

DT will get his. He has a short memory.

dubjayfootball90 on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:27pm #

that dude on nebraska is HUGE!!! holy cow

TLB on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:28pm #

He pushed Smith out of bounds

BuddhaBuck on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:38pm #

Pun intended?...

Keep Calm and Ignore the Trolls.

buckeye4life050233 on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:29pm #

gotta do something different offensively......ravenel is such a liability when they don't have to guard him and can help off constantly from him

OSUNeedles on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:29pm #

Officials left the whistles in their lockers

Squirrel Master on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:34pm #

Amir in - +9. Amir out - negative 11. Just say in.

TLB on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:35pm #

I am beginning to dislike the 3 point line

JLBNYC on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:37pm #

nice play by Amir. Nice to see him do that to someone for a change, rather than it being done to him!

Buckeye1996 on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:37pm #

I can't even get the game on an online radio stream. Bigten networks stinks!

NCBuck1 on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:43pm #

Try 97.1 the fan. Give em your email and you can listen online.

Buckeye1996 on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:56pm #

Thanks!

JLBNYC on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:39pm #

Big play - 3rd foul on Nebraska's big guy so close to the end of the half

buckeye4life050233 on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:39pm #

that is one big dude on nebraska's team......

JLBNYC on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:41pm #

6-11, 314 lbs

Buckeyevstheworld on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:52pm #

He looks bigger than 314.

"YOLO" = I'm about to do something extremely ignorant/stupid & I need an excuse to do it.

Killer nuts on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:39pm #

Smart play by craft to jump into shrek and get him his 3rd foul

buckeye4life050233 on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:41pm #

once again another game where we are not fouling the shooters and they haven't really been able to drive on us and cause fouls so far......wish we wouldn't have given up the 13-3 lead but hey this is an akward calm game before the crazy week with indiana and michigan

Buckeye1996 on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:43pm #

Found a radio stream if anyone is interested. The announcers are pro nebraska though....

BME_Buckeye on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:43pm #

That was a pretty sweet three by Ross. Hopefully it builds his confidence.

gh, amir should have had that

Knarcisi on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:47pm #

Hands

dubjayfootball90 on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:44pm #

nasty. great steal great slam

Ohio1St81 on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:45pm #

WOW

kr66osu on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:45pm #

Conveniently right when I tune in we go on a 15-2 run

Knarcisi on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:46pm #

My 2 year old daughter stole the iPad. You guys got bumped for Dora.

buckeye4life050233 on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:47pm #

gotta have that rebound amir......geez you have him boxed out and ur 6'11" grab the dang ball with 2 hands

Knarcisi on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:48pm #

Told ya guys. No hands.

buckeye4life050233 on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:48pm #

DT is shooting badddddly tonight

dubjayfootball90 on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:48pm #

not a bad half, still up by 9, good things to work on, and in a good posdition to get that W

Killer nuts on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:49pm #

I suppose if Deshaun's jumper is gonna fail him then it's best for it to happen against Nebrasketball

Knarcisi on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:50pm #

Yep, but again, short memory. He can rip off 10 straight at any time. Tonight looks like he just needs a little contact to have it fall.

RedQueenRace on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:54pm #

I'm following along on radio and GameCast. Why no Shannon Scott so far tonight?

buckeye4life050233 on 2 Feb 2013 - 8:57pm #

he came in when we were up 13-3 and then they came scorching back and that replaced him with Q.....he doesn't provide the outside shot needed to stretch the d

RedQueenRace on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:00pm #

Thanks. He isn't showing up in any of the boxscores for some reason.

dubjayfootball90 on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:02pm #

alright lets get this second half started right. Time to put the pedal to the metal and keep the foot on their throats

dubjayfootball90 on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:04pm #

good post up by smith man, good to see

Knarcisi on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:08pm #

Amen. +1.

Knarcisi on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:06pm #

13 travels every time he gets the ball and goes to dribble.

dubjayfootball90 on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:08pm #

damnit.... That is still sick, 62 minutes without allowing a free throw attempt, haha. That is playing some good, smart D

kr66osu on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:09pm #

Really terrible offense to open this half

BME_Buckeye on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:12pm #

Any chance the staff will make a Game Thread for the Michigan vs. Indiana game?

Big Red!!

smith5568 on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:16pm #

Sidenote: I like the compliance commercial

Seth4Bucks on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:23pm #

Of course you do, it featured an unranked OSU team beating the #1 team in the nation during Matta's first year as our coach! Oh, I can still remember watching that game and just going crazy when that shot went in.

DLJad on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:17pm #

Good things happen when the ball is moved toward the hoop.

kr66osu on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:19pm #

oh god he just got destroyed by that crossover, good thing he missed the 3

dubjayfootball90 on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:20pm #

lenzelle is doing some work on offense man

dubjayfootball90 on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:21pm #

terrible travel, my goodness, so blatant

edit: yea they calld it, but funny to hear the fans reaction on it

kr66osu on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:22pm #

oh boy here come the whining Nebraska fans

Urbanmania on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:22pm #

Quick Cheeto break for Almeda

buckeye4life050233 on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:24pm #

good little stretch here......gotta keep between 13 and try n push it to 19 or so....especially with their huge guy now sidelined with 4 fouls....put amir back out there to do some work

kr66osu on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:27pm #

come on just seal this stupid game

Knarcisi on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:28pm #

DT ... Wow ... lovin that contact tonight.

Urbanmania on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:34pm #

Need to put the game away out of this TO

dubjayfootball90 on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:38pm #

long shot, where are the rebounders?

DLJad on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:38pm #

Not a foul on LQR

kr66osu on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:39pm #

go up by 15 and then the offense completely dissappears

great

Knarcisi on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:40pm #

By the way, from this point forward, Crafty is no longer scoring optional. We need him assertive offiensively as he has been the past few weeks.

Urbanmania on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:40pm #

Lenzelle!!!!!

Urbanmania on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:41pm #

Got to hand it to the Nebraska fans. Have been loud all game.

dubjayfootball90 on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:41pm #

how does williams not get these rebounds?

Veraton on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:44pm #

I don't understand this either, it's been the case all season. I have seen this in other players, they get the ball in or near their hands and they just can't secure it for the life of them.

Veraton on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:42pm #

That was a sweet 3 by Lenzelle but I hate when the Buckeyes just start chucking up 3's, they need to fight for higher percentage shots instead of settling for the 3.

Urbanmania on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:42pm #

Nebraska being within even 10 is sort of embarrassing.

TLB on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:43pm #

Road game next week could be ugly

Seth4Bucks on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:47pm #

I'm trying to look at the silver lining, but perhaps this will help Matta focus the Bucks and tighten up their play? A little humility to help the Buckeyes realize that they still have a ways to go and can't coast.

TLB on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:49pm #

I hope so but they are not good on the road

Seth4Bucks on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:43pm #

Ugh, we're giving up WAY too many offensive boards to the Huskers.

dubjayfootball90 on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:48pm #

this is bad

kr66osu on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:49pm #

god dammit

BME_Buckeye on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:50pm #

OMG end this game and play some good defense.

Ohio State is tied with ND 2-2 going into the 3rd period in hockey.

WHAT THE HELL, HOW CAN WE NOT REBOUND!!!!!???????????

UrbanCulture on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:51pm #

Another yucky game

TLB on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:51pm #

Fat dude out hustling athletes

Squirrel Master on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:51pm #

Almeida has 4 fouls! IDK, how about giving the ball in the post to get him out of there. I don't know why the guards aren't feeding the post to either Thomas or at least Amir.

TLB on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:54pm #

They aren't even covering Williams or Thompson

Squirrel Master on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:59pm #

Williams was fed the ball in the first half 3 times. It created 4 free throws, 2 fouls and 4 points. That all happened before he took a seat after 5-6 mins. Since then, he has been fed once and was fouled and hit 2 more free throws. The one for 2 was after an offensive rebound and fouled again.

Granted this is all against Nebraska but I say keep feeding him because at the very least he is getting fouls and hitting free throws.

Bobcat04 on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:51pm #

This team just CAN NOT play with a lead. That said, Nebraska has had a ridiculous amount of garbage play their way.

Squirrel Master on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:54pm #

Exactly. They have had at least 4 shots get a lucky bounce. 2 of which should never have gone in.

TLB on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:52pm #

Thads been on that official all nite

dubjayfootball90 on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:53pm #

HUGE shot, get 1 more then play some D!!!

Bobcat04 on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:54pm #

Player of the game is Lenzelle. Dude showed up and we needed him.

Mikefletcher24 on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:54pm #

Looks like fat boys make up is running..

dubjayfootball90 on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:56pm #

This rebounding is absolutely terrible. Inexcuseable

Squirrel Master on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:56pm #

I am going to enjoy watching UM vs Indy. Either way, one of them is going to lose and it will be sweet after this win.

Mikefletcher24 on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:56pm #

Lets go Indiana

UrbanCulture on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:59pm #

Road win in the big ten is nothing to complain about. Just keep improving.

TLB on 2 Feb 2013 - 10:00pm #

I can't root for Crean

"I like to kick Michigan's ass and chew bubble gum, and I'm all out of gum."

Veraton on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:58pm #

Amir is driving me insane, if the 3 is off the mark crash the boards don't just sit outside the 3 point line and watch...

Squirrel Master on 2 Feb 2013 - 10:01pm #

He is pretty slow with his reaction time. Sometimes it looks like he is trying to figure things out before he reacts. By that time, that Almeida kid is crashing the board. He does recover okay sometimes.

dubjayfootball90 on 2 Feb 2013 - 9:59pm #

ugly, ugly ugly.... but I will take it. WIN FOR THE BUCKEYES!!!

kr66osu on 2 Feb 2013 - 10:00pm #

that was awful

kr66osu on 2 Feb 2013 - 10:00pm #

also go Hoosiers

Knarcisi on 2 Feb 2013 - 10:00pm #

Make our own IU / scUM thread and just continue here?

DLJad on 2 Feb 2013 - 10:10pm #

I have a nearly equal level of contempt for both programs.

enjoying the pace of the game

DLJad on 2 Feb 2013 - 10:02pm #

Not pretty, but you have to be happy with W.

Squirrel Master on 2 Feb 2013 - 10:12pm #

I kind of thought all season UM is overrated! I think Indiana is much better. At least this year. If both teams stay together like this next year, I think UM would probably be a better team.
