I just hate our zone defense

Towns at this point is only a shooter (OAS). Johns should have stayed with him, or if they run Ahrens baseline on the Zone.

Obviously happy to be winning but just feel like we should be up like 10. Oh well

Itā€™s so weird to me how we play great man to man D all half and for whatever reason think to go back to zone there

Yeah, when I saw that their whole starting lineup was juniors and a sophomore Liddell I was not happy.

I think they went zone so that OSU couldnā€™t go 2-for-1 back.

Yeah, did the same last game. It worked. This time it didnā€™t, no biggie!

He must have played in Germany at some point.

OSU going zone out of timeouts giving us taste of our own medicine

Was far from the aesthetic thing of beauty that the first game was, but equally close and tense. No one can get any breathing room in this rivalry.

This is like playing Rutgers or PSU. Brown and Smith shots will start falling next half.

I was thinking that he might as well declare. Heā€™s not a top prospect but canā€™t really do anything about his main weakness (height). Heā€™s basically topped out as a college player.

When you play an alternate zone defense the way we roll it out, itā€™s only there for ā€œelement of surpriseā€. But why even switch when youā€™re an elite M2M team or arenā€™t having problems guarding Liddell with Hunter? Donā€™t get it

First half without Livers since last season. Went about how I expected but I think it was a good sign for how this team will compete without him.

Iā€™m satisfied with the 1 point lead after shooting 33%.

I think Juwan should continue to go with Johns down low. OSU canā€™t handle him down there. This is where they missed Kyle Young in that spot.

The 1st half has been kind of ugly and itā€™s a defensive struggle unlike the first matchup where the offense was flowing with teams making shot after shot.

We need to run through Franz even more.

Liddell is clearly ready for the NBA game. I saw his draft stock on the outside of the lottery

Crazy game. Johnā€™s gets every call and is 5/6 from the stripe. UM 90% and OSU 0/4. We are winning at the line against OSU?
