Where are all the Patrick McCaffery double digit scorer haters now? The robot Rothstein is never wrong!

It is truly remarkable how awful Iowa’s zone looks

Who needs CJ Fredrick when you have Jack Nunge?

Can you really even call it a “zone”?

I get from a standings viewpoint it’s good for Iowa to lose and drop back to 4 losses, but man I can’t stand OSU in any capacity, including basketball. It irks me to no end that they’re good right now, I desperately need them to start losing games soon for my own sanity.

How do you just let Justin Ahrens get up 3-point attempts? You have to make him do anything else.

I really think OSU might only lose 1 more game this season. I think they have as good a chance at a split as anyone else. This is equally surprising and upsetting to me.

Edit: they have all three remaining contenders at home and don’t have to play at any senior nights for other teams this season.

Has anyone ever seen a 5 man defensive line shift before?

Why step out on a 50% 3 point shooter when you could ineffectively help off for no reason?

Their remaining schedule is still pretty difficult.

I don’t know that I’d go that far. They’ve shown they can lose to anyone (NW, Purdue x2) and with how strong the B1G is every game they have left except for @ MSU seems losable. They still have to play us, Iowa and Illinois one more time.

They will have beaten both Illinois and Iowa on the road already if they hang on. I think they will definitely lose one but I don’t know that I would bet on two losses.

Iowa really gonna waste an all time offense because Fran hasn’t figured out how to field even an average defense. Not sure how he didn’t take a page from Beilein’s book and get someone to just take over that end of the floor.

All of their remaining games are KenPom Tier A games. They still have 3 games against UM/Iowa/Illinois. I would probably set the OU at 2.5 more losses.

Iowa peaked too early, Ohio State is getting a lot of momentum but I don’t think that they can maintain it towards the end.

Just need to have like the 60th defense lol.
