I am afraid the BasketBucks will be staking their claim to a NCAA tournament berth on quality losses. Despite having some talent, I have seen little leadership and consistent hustle from Matta's team. The UCLA game score was respectable, but it still wound up in the loss column. Ohio State looks to be at best a middle of the pack in the BIG and a bubble team for the dance in March.

If the Buckeyes finish mid pack of the B1G, they are probably dancing in March. I don't see one team in the B1G that can even remotely be called bad except maybe Nebraska, I could see a large majority of the B1G in the Big Dance.

After facing a tough UCLA team on Saturday in Las Vegas, Ohio State (9-3) was able to get back in the win column tonight at home against in-state foe Youngstown State (6-7), 77-40. The Penguins only managed 14 points in the first half and had more success in the second half but was no match for the Buckeyes in the 37 point difference. The Buckeyes were led by the trio of Jae'Sean Tate, Kam Williams and Keita Bates-Diop who all poured in 15 points a piece. The Penguins were led by Matt Donlan who scored 10 points.

OSU has just one non-conference game remaining, they host UNC Asheville on Thursday before heading into B1G play on New Years Day.

Ohio State (10-3) earned a hard fought win in their game tonight against a very tough UNC Asheville (8-5) team in Columbus, 79-77. Every time it looked like OSU was going to pull away, UNC Asheville came right back. The Buckeyes were assessed two late technical fouls in the 2nd half that kept Asheville in the game, and those were questionable techs (at best). The Buckeyes were led by JaQuan Lyle (17pts) and Asheville was led by MaCio Teague (21pts).

That ends the non-conference schedule for the Buckeyes. They are now off until new year's day when they open B1G play at Illinois.

Last night, Ohio State (10-4) lost their B1G opener at Illinois (11-4), 75-70. Every time Illinois went on a run, the Buckeyes matched that run but could never pull away for good in the conference opening loss. JaQuan Lyle led the Buckeyes with 24 points. The Illini's star, Malcolm Hill led his team in the winning effort with 20.

The Buckeyes have a tough stretch of conference games coming up with their next game coming at home on Thursday against Purdue.

In their second B1G game of the season, Ohio State (10-5) nearly pulled off the upset over #20 Purdue (13-3), but fell short 76-75. Jae'Sean Tate led the way for the Buckeyes with 17 points, for the Boilermakers, their stud, Caleb Swanigan had a double-double with 16points-11rebounds.

If you exclude the UCLA game, which they lost by 13, the Buckeyes other 4 games they have lost have come by a combined total of only 10 points.

The Buckeyes next play on Sunday at Minnesota.

What was the fuss over the clock? Heard it on one of the sports show but didn't catch the first part.

For a third straight game, Ohio State (10-6) dropped a B1G conference battle, this time at the hands of a very good Minnesota team on the road, 78-68. Jae'Sean Tate led the Buckeyes with 20 points and Trevor Thompson threw in a double-double with 15points-15rebounds. For Minnesota, Coffey led the way with 19 points.

The schedule for the Buckeyes doesn't let up any time soon, as they travel to Wisconsin on Thursday.

Buckeyes are hard to watch. Undisciplined, out of control way too much, HORRENDOUS FT shooting - cost em tonight's game.
What is going on with Thad Matta coached Buckeyes? I thought they would be much better this year.

Young team still, horrendous at free throws, they don't want to play as a team it doesn't look like. Bates-Diop is also out for the year now, he missed the first ten games or so, played a couple and now he's out for the year which kills the offense because he can do a lot of different things.

Let me rephrase that to a bottom tier team in the BIG and a bubble team for the NIT. Something is broken with the BasketBucks and as much as I have liked Thad Matta in the past, the house cleaning needs to start with him and his staff.

I agree, something is terribly amiss with the bball Buckeyes.

Matta missed with an entire large recruiting class and is now being hit hard by that. No depth and losing KBD for the year is a killer.

They won't make the postseason and Matta's streak of 20 win seasons is over, however, I think with the graduation of Loving and Lyle leaving, things could definitely look up for the Buckeyes next season.

Buckeyes are 0-3 in the B1G for the first time since 1998 and it looks like they will go to 0-4 tonight.

The Buckeyes (11-7) dropped a 4th straight B1G game to open up conference play by falling to #18 Wisconsin (14-3) on the road, 89-66. This game was even more lopsided than the score indicated. I truly had to turn the game off. The Buckeyes were led by JaQuan Lyle (13 pts). And the Badgers were led by Bronson Koenig (21 pts) who seemingly didn't miss anything. Simply stated, Buckeye basketball is a complete mess!

They are back home on Sunday when they face a battle tested Michigan State squad.

Ohio State (11-7) got their biggest win of the season today at home against Michigan State (12-7), 72-67. In a struggling season up to this point, the Buckeyes got their first B1G win tonight, will this help turn their season around? JaQuan Lyle led the Buckeyes with 22 points. Miles Bridges led the Spartans with 24 points.

The Buckeyes will look to build upon that win with a game at Nebraska on Wednesday.

Ohio State (12-7) got a big road win over conference foe Nebraska (9-9), 67-66. Marc Loving scored the game winning bucket off an inbound pass with just 0.6 seconds to seal the win. Loving led the Buckeyes with a 15 point, 11 rebound double-double. Leading the Huskers was Tai Webster with 18 points. After dropping their first four B1G games, the Buckeyes have now won two in a row, to hopefully, turn around their season.

Their next game is Sunday when they host Northwestern.
