    make a shot !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is a joke .. how about we put someone in the game who can shoot

    robkellyfan

  • This shit is pathetic! How do you have a basketball team and nobody can shoot on it? Buford needs to stop shooting already too cause he's taken some god awful shots early on. This team turns the ball over too much. I'm wondering when they're gonna figure out how to stop charging

  • Shooting the ball is the great equalizer in basketball....you can be the greatest athlete in the world but if you can't put the ball in the hole it does you no good. Easy Matta's worst shooting team in his time here and I don't see it getting any better next season.

  • Everybody bitched about Diebs being one-dimenional last year. I bet all of those people wish we still had him on the roster.

  • can someone explain to me why we recruited shannon scott over trey burke?

    shep777

  • I have not had a chance to watch a lot of the games this year but i remember there being something about scott not getting a lot of time. This being the first time i have seen him play im not impressed and see why his time is minimal. Can someone on here please provide me with some insight on this kid. He does not look very good. I know the whole team is looking like crap right now but he is getting beat off the dribble and missed both foul shots. He does look pretty good with the ball though. Is he normally better than this?

    That's exactly what i wondered! Trey Burke is way better than Scott. Scott couldn't hit a 3 if you told him it was worth $1,000,000

  • Why aren't they going inside; they can't make anything outside. What about Sullinger? This is just pathetic. And three charging fouls!

    buckeyelouey

  • Ya, no question, this is a painful one to watch. Nobody can shoot, and we have no offense. Just everybody stand around and someone eventually put up a brick from 3-point land.

  • I think that Matta is just hoping and praying that at some point in the season we are going to start knocking down shots. He and his staff don't appear to do anything motion wise or whatever to get easier shots for this team. His response going into halftime says it all. We have to start making some shots. That's all he's hanging his hat on this season. I believe he's going to be sorely disappointed.

    Agree. Especially with your last sentence -- with the talent differential between our roster and theirs, Matta is just giving the game away by having us stand around just passing the ball around the perimeter trying to get a 3-point shot.

    matta doesn't coach .. he recruits and chews gum

  • Better get it together in the 2nd half make the easy ones an the damn free throws!Down 5 after what I saw is a victory in itself.This team has got to play smarter as well way too many mental breakdowns an turnovers cmon guys get it together

    ckmtigers98

  • This team is not gettig any better, 26 games into the season whats going on. the offense sucks .this team does not put fear to any team, teams picking up how to defend this team and march maddness is around the corner. have they peek to early? lets go bucks

    hammerbuck

  • Cant wait till Marc Loving is here.

    Craft
    Smith Jr
    Ross
    Loving
    Williams

    assuming DT leaves and Sully

    DougHeffernan

  • Matta's gonna have to just cut the string and let Amir and Laquinton play more cause this team needs a shake up cause there's no way they're beating a Kentucky or Syracuse playing like this and this has become to consistent from this team. Buford jacking bad shots, too many turnovers from this team, alot of stand around on offense. This team needs to find someone who can hit a shot and i'm sure its Ross

    They peaked early against Duke and Florida. Now they couldn't beat the scUM women's team.

    A little bit of logic: Basketball is a rhythm sport, when players are in a comfortable rhythm they tend to knock down shots from outside. Second half we need to get a better rhythm offensively

    Let's get it!!!

    Bill needs to make some points

  • I heard someone describe, it might have been Matta, as Ross being the best 3 point shooter he's seen at the high school level, including Diebler...WTF??? Then play him! Ross is really upset as he let a tweet fly last week saying this was Bull shit, we need someone who can shoot. He'll probably transfer. We run NO offense, we run a Rec league offense. Its sad. And we play no bench, why not play the guys early on before league play, OSU plays all these small colleges, he doesn't even play guys then. It's sad. He's a great recruiter, the best OSU has ever had in bball, but he can't coach them and run a good offense. He needs to hire an Offensive Coordinator and run some motion. I'm sick of the standing around.

  • Im 100% convinced that bufford has carried his horrible game in the tourney loss last year to this whole season. He is taking the most rediculous shots.

    That rhythm hasn't been with this team for awhile and don't give me Purdue. They need to work the ball inside with Sullinger and work from there
