It's a great time to be a Buckeye fan!

Penn State it is tomorrow as they whalloped the Mildcats 60-42. Penn State is easily the most improved team over the course of the year and will certainly have a shot at pulling the upset like they did a few years back.

But, they will have to play their best game of the year to beat the Bucks.

The Detroit Free Press picked PSU to beat OSU tomorrow.

I don't think that was a stretch prediction at all, and the game has proven them right. Looks like we're gonna pull it out today in the end, now we can bow out gracefully tomorrow and start thinking about the real tournament.

I hear ya. They're going to be a 2-seed no matter what. Might as well get some work in tomorrow and then focus on the big dance.

It's been a very fun season.

Hopefully finally hitting some threes late means the shooting slump is over, though.

They just need to get their legs back under them. The boys can shoot. They'll be ready for next weekend.

1st half stats for IU vs. UW, pretty much guarantees that whoever wins this game won't be able to miss tomorrow against the Bucks.

Neither team had an assist the entire half. How many times has that happened in a college basketball game?

I have watched Jr. high girls and been more entertained. And this is coming from a die hard Hoosier fan.

And here I was trying to find the game on the radio. Inspiring performance thus far.

Gotta like that 1 for 18 from three land between the two teams

Now Indiana has caught fire in the 2nd half.

7 assists already by IU 8 minutes into the 2nd half, and somehow Indiana is shooting 50% from the floor.

[traderumor]

I see that, they are very, very streaky as the Bucks learned the hard way in Bloomington this year.

18% 1st half shooting and 83% 2nd half shooting is probably about as streaky as one team can be.

Alando Tucker is an absolute beast.

Indiana holds on and wins their 5th in a row.

Should be a good game tommorow between IU and OSU.

Honestly, as an OSU fan I pretty much expect IU to win. They have more to play for (OSU has already won the Big Ten, IU needs to keep winning to solidify their tourney standing, the Mike Davis thing...they'll play hard for the outgoing coach).

And I'm okay with that. Let's get some work on and get ready for Thursday (or Friday).
