Something to be said for how easily Washington got to the basket against Michigan. Should not have happened. So far today seeing none of that from Washington. Until just now of course

Like to see M win three this week then not play top 8 players in BTT

I like that all good outlet passes require a Wes Unseld reference. Never saw him play but he must have thrown one mean pass

Iowa is the perfectly wrong matchup for tOsu. Super-skilled high useage big man with dead-eye 3-point shooters.
Me too, if OSU loses this game they could go from a Number 2 seed in the BN1G to a number FIVE seed! HUGE game for them.

The trick with Iowa is to play both sides so you always have a correct take you can quote back
(yes, the Ellerbe thing was a joke)

Every big man growing up thru the 90s knew who Wes Unseld was for his outlet passes. No doubt Kevin Love made that a part of his game as an under-sized big.

Anyone else think Iowa’s loss to Michigan motivated them to REALLY come to play today?!?

Yup. I bet Fran chewed on these guys based on that classless press conference.

In retrospect I feel incredibly stupid for thinking a team with a bunch of 6’8” centers that is statistically pretty similar to Iowa defensively could hang with this Iowa team

Also Liddell might be slightly gimpy from that ankle he rolled against us.
They’ve never really played defense this year and now their offensive execution has slipped a notch.
I don’t want to overreact, but this game basically confirms that Iowa is better than Michigan.

That was a routine shot for Washington when he played us

This is pretty much the OSU team AND the Iowa team I envisioned at the start of the year. Seriously. OK, I had the Buckeyes a little better than this but I thought Iowa, and Illinois, were the class of the B1G. Actually, I’m REALLY happy with the way the season has unfolded…well, except for the “pause.”

No doubt - and it seems to be working. Which is why he’ll continue to do it (it’s why abusive coaches stay that way).

We have legit broken teams. Maryland, Wisconsin, and OSU now. Let’s complete the quadfecta next week and send MSU home.

I wish that had worked for Ohio State against Michigan State…
This is definitely Fran’s best team, he’s got 2 kids playing for him, and a huge buyout in his contract. He has every reason to be less of a jerk.
