MBB: Nebraska 68, (17) Ohio State 62

[FerryFor50]

Buckeye free fall continues. Nebraska shot 51% against OSU's supposedly vaunted defense. OSU shot 39%.

What is up with OSU? Feel like something is going on there--locker room issues? Chemistry?

[Kfanarmy]

They don't seem to be bringing it every game, as a team.

[Ichabod Drain]

OSU offense is, in the words of sir Barkley, Tuuuurrrrible.

It is not like they played a murderer's row in their preseason schedule.

[Wander]

Ohio State's nonconference schedule was pathetic. There may not be a tournament team on there. Their best win might be North Dakota State. I still don't think they're awful, but they were never that good - it's just a classic case of a team being "exposed."

I would start with...
Morgan State, Ohio, Marquette, American University, Wyoming, North Florida, Maryland, Central Connecticut State, Bryant University, North Dakota State, Delaware, Notre Dame, Louisiana-Monroe, Purdue, Nebraska. They didn't play a team higher than #64 in Kenpom's ratings before losing to Michigan State.

Surprise surprise, the media falls in love with the "-0" next to the team name, and doesn't bother to look into who those wins were against.

But.... But.... Aaron Craft!

Dan Dakich said it best when he said their non-conference schedule was bad even for a MAC team.

If only Ohio State had a gritty leader with the intangibles to will them to victory.

Even better, if only he had rosy red cheeks.

[NYBri]

So glad that K changed up his rotation.

The fact that a ton of teams that started so strong now find themselves in a total funk is testament to scouting and being predictable.

We need to stay loose and surprising. Switch things up and keep them off guard.

[hurleyfor3]

Pitt hasn't played anyone either. Pitt never plays anyone. Just keep this in mind for the next week.

I really like Tim Miles. I hope he can somehow find some success at Nebraska.

They did have a good showing against Syracuse.

[Dukehky]

OSU can't score, like the rest of the B1G teams.

[Indoor66]

Try the coach?

[CDu]

Syracuse, who also hardly ever plays anyone in the preseason, and never plays anyone on the road.

[Kfanarmy]

Try the coach? I'm not sure. I watched a game they played (ND or Purdue) before the new year, and the only two people from OSU who were into the game at all were Thad Matta and Aaron Craft. There just was no fire at all from anyone else on the team. Last night nebraska had 19 second half points with less than 2 minutes to go in the game and still led by 4. OSU's offense is atrocious at the moment. Maybe they don't have a go-to guy on offense, but they aren't cutting as a team on O.
