OSU and Loyola both look like they’ve never played offense before to start this off

This OSU/Loyola game is a lot of sliding and colliding…travels or fouls on every play.

Drew Valentine playing his big with two fouls just 8 minutes into the game - will he be Eric’s new favorite coach?

CBS’s broadcast made a mistake showing him with 2, box score only says 1

Interesting (and smart!) that Loyola is replicating our defensive strategy.

it’s a whole thread of examples of how the offense doesn’t fit very well vs. the simple actions St. Peter’s runs that take advantage of modern O. i think it’s probably hyperbolic bc obvi they were a good basketball team like you say. doesn’t make it not hilarious.

Does Justin Ahrens wear a shock collar when he goes below the 3 point line on offense?

Loving how manic this LUC-OSU game is. But they’re one of my few bullets left in the ol’ Calcutta after both SDSU and USF (brutal) went down so I also don’t love it.

RE: Coach Cal convo above. He hooked Michigan up with Phil Martelli so I have no animosity. But always love seeing a blue blood go down.

They way they scramble off the double is super impressive. They load to the ball and give up the guy farthest from the ball, I think, and then the doubler’s responsibility is to go find that guy.

Looked like OSU trying to set up a cross court hammer three there if the double came.

Drew Valentine on the sidelines looks like what I was doing standing in front of my couch yesterday during our game.
