Ohio St. (13-5) vs. Nebraska (14-5) Game Thread

[hhcmatt]

Saw Keita warming up and still looked like he walked with a limp. Was thinking about the Blaise Keita being available for emergency use and I'm assuming that means a scenario where Gary can't go and Mast, Allick, and maybe Diop all have 2 fouls in the first half.  Not sure if all our post players somehow fouled out in the second half if we'd pull the trigger.

Yep. Glad to hear this acknowledged out loud.

Interested to see if Ohio St takes the Rutgers and NW approach of playing football against us and see if we wilt.  Last couple games it seems the strategy on our high screening action has been to push and pull, especially against KT and RM, but really all of those cutters and screeners, and see if that throws us off. Then, of course, teams have figured out that they can crash the boards against us with success.  Here's to hoping Josiah's toughness pairs with RM well and we can perservere.

I wonder how the refs would take it if we came out and warmed up in full pads?

Spot on.  We did a much better job though, against Nortwestern, with back cuts and rolls to the rim.

I'm just excited that the students will be back! 
PBA should be rocking tonight.

Think I mentioned specifically Allick doing this in the NW game thread. He was getting killed on both ends the whole game.

Yup.  My biggest concern on a team's scouting report is "they hit the offensive boards well"

I'm hoping that the game will be streamed on YouTube. The last peacock game was.

Gary is questionable for the game tonight.

For the first time Lunardi doesn't have us in any of his first/last/next four categories. We're solidly in as a 9 seed.

We’re pretty solidly in most brackets on bracket matrix after that NW win.  Believe it or not, beating other bubbly teams allows you to move up and them to move down.

 

Highest seed was an 8

Lowest seed was “out” in two of 76 brackets.

one of my old army buddies is a buckeye, so i guess it's time to make the annual Bet of Doom. 

 

I think this year I'll hold out for some ribs.

If he can go, that would be great but I trust he/they won't push it.

I agree, however, Kent just said on pregame he looked okay.  Not sure what okay means.  My guess is he might play in an emergency situation.  Define emergency...

I tried my best on Oglesby.  Couldn't find anything I recognized.   

[Faux Mike Peltz]

I don’t like Terry O.

Blaise is a long ways from coming back, watched him in warmups. Had a limp and doesn’t look like he can run at his full speed
