Buckeye Hoops Thoughts

  • Great Value- This was my first trip to Value City Arena, and it was more than fantastic. Great seats (thanks, Joe!) and a good, if ugly win
  • All About Timing- Not for the Buckeyes (yet), but just a comment on the 6:30 start… tons of empty seats for a Tuesday night game. I know it’s not a weekend match against Michigan, but c’mon, people!!
  • Nuts. Housed.- Couldn’t have been more impressed with the Student Section, some of whom had queued up around 10 or so. Who needs classes, right? While the game was low on energy overall, the Nuthouse certainly didn’t reflect

That was the Florida game, which was a 7 point victory. Today marked the 2nd smallest win on the season at home and it was a 17 point spread.

Here are my thoughts after watching the Indiana game live.

  • After the last game, I told those who would listen that in the Schott with better officiating we would win by 20-30. I was close enough with a 17 pt win.
  • We have won 36 in a row at home which is the third longest streak in the country behind only Duke and Kentucky.

After three straight days of being at the Schott I overheard and saw quite a few things.

Football

  • Football recruiting is turning up and in full force. Positive news coming out about Tommy Schutt, Jordan Diamond, Kyle Dodson, SeVon Pittman. Sounds like all should be Buckeyes!!! Look for updates as the week goes on (ed- Joe wrote this on Sunday… two down, two to go). As of know next weekend should include Cyrus Jones and Noah Spence.
  • Talked to an ex-player who said it has been ratcheted up a few notches in terms of intensity. Meyer has them working like they’ve never seen before. Expect a different looking bunch in the Gator Bowl.

Basketball

  • The chatter wasn’t about being upset about the loss- it went back to

  • Want to start off with congratulating the 4 buckeyes receiving their diplomas-  David, Dallas, Jon, and Nikola.
  • Lighty with the 7 threes! Everytime he hit one, the place exploded. Wonder of Diebler was worried for his record?
  • You think Craft’s 15 assists were better than DLights 7 3′s? Arguable, if you ask me…
  • Sullinger, Buford, Diebler all with solid games to compliment Lighty’s night.
  • The substitution pattern?  I liked it, but was something that we hadn’t seen all year.  Didn’t quite match Marquette substitution pattern in game two.  I felt like I was watching a hockey game with all the line changes.
  • How about that 50-15 run after being down 11-2?

  • Its over! You could see GMason talking quite a bit, and we just let our

In case you missed it, here’s video that kicked it off


  • 28 pt win, scoring over 90+ points and 14-15, 3 point range,   That is dealing with it!!!!
  • Finished the season 20-0 at home, which puts us at 37-1 over the last two seasons.  Ohio State has strung together 22 consecutive home wins.
  • Really starting to get a big time atmosphere at the Schott.  Putting the students on the sidelines was still the best decision we have made in the history of the building.
  • The game marked the 5th sell out of the season and easily the most intense crowd of the season.  The crowd was up all game long, with lots to cheer about- Matta described it as “40 minutes

  • Are the women back on track?  They are sure playing like it after the smackdown of Wisky.  They must fill the hatred that the men’s team is feeling toward the Wisconsin Buzzcuts.
  • We are 36-1 in our last 37 home games over the past 2 years.  And 19-0 this year is our best home record ever!  We will go for 20-0 next weekend against Wisky.
  • Talk about a big time atmosphere for the men’s game.  Another sold out game, AJ Hawk, Bobby Carpenter and others in the house!

You should click this and 

  • Big football recruiting day…The ones I saw, Ifeadi Odenigbo, Tom Strobel (Offered yesterday, Fickel was really talking him up), Alex Pace, Sean Draper, Devon Bogard, Terry Richardson (Offered yesterday), James Ross.  We will have more on the 2012 class later in the week!

  • The Schott was rockin!  Lots of faces in the crowd:  Mike Doss, Brian Brown, Bill Hoskett,  controversial ESPN talking head Kirk Herbstreit, were the ones that I saw.  Snookie and Miley Cyrus as well.  Well, their big poster heads.
  • I’m hearing that JD Weatherspoon should be back come Big Ten Conference time frame.  He was in attendance tonight.
  • Diebler is one three-ball away from tying the conference career record, and two from breaking it. West Lafayette, anyone?
  • Nice bounce back after the loss to Wisky.  Wisky is really becoming our most hated team.  It wasn’t the fact that we lost a regular season game but moreso who we lost to.  But I loved the point that was made, in that they are so happy about beating the #1 team in both

  • Another sell out!  Man it is a great scene when the Schott is sold out and rockin! Parking was a mess, but it’s worth it for the crowd we had.
  • Craft is such a sweet player.  He looks like he is 10 years old, according to a couple fans I talked to at the game.  They photoshopped Justin Bieber’s haircut on him during one of the timeouts on the big screen.
  • Matta didn’t know that he didn’t sub in the second half?  From a coaching standpoint that is unacceptable.
  • Free Throws.  They are called free for a reason, but if you miss them, then the defense can consider that a stop while not playing good defense.
  • Undefeated season?  That
