Proud2BAHoosier Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Could be a good game today between the Spartans and the Buckeyes. Interesting to see how the Buckeyes new coach does. So far it seems they're doing pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michigan State is looking pretty mediocre in my opinion. 33% shooting and 9 turnovers thus far in the first half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosrnight Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 41-29 OSU at the half. MSU melted down at the end of the half! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKIM01 Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 If MSU is #1, we can officially crown 2018 as the year of college basketball mediocrity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CauseThatsMyDJ Posted January 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 OSU taking MSU to the woodshed. Chris Holtmann setting himself up as B1G COTY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iufaninand Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 I think Holtmann was a huge get for OSU. That being said, I think that Archie Miller would have done just as well there. Holtmann just had to change some terminology to his own, but those players were used to playing that type of system already. Archie has had to completely revamp the system at IU and run the old system through the shredder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matta was struggling but the primary factor in his firing was his health. I am speculating here, but under those circumstances, I think it was easier for the returning players to rationalize that a change needed to be made... making the buy in to Holtmann's regime much easier. I really think that some of our kids were torn when Crean was fired ... at least one couldn't adapt and chose to leave. Not only has Archie had to instill his systems, but I think that he has had an ongoing challenge in getting his players to forget Crean and accept that there is a new sheriff in town. I am excited for the future with CAM. Glad that we hired him and confident that we will be happy he is our coach as the future plays out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud2BAHoosier Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Interesting bit of trivia.... When Holtman was with Butler last year, they beat then #1 Nova. Fast forward to this year and he has done it again against #1 MSU. The only other coach to do that in back to back years with different schools???

bstall76 Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Bates-Diop is also one hell of a player, he was top 30 coming out of high school and is playing like, he is front runner for B1G POY right now. Matta may still be at OSU if Bates-Diop had not gotten hurt last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was fortunate that we were able to get CAM before the OSU job came open. I'm thinking we will be consistently in the national scene in a few more years.

milehiiu Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 The overrated chant went up in Columbus with just over two minutes left in the game. But did not last. And despite beating the currently number one ranked team in the nation, there was no court storming....... OSU fans acting and behaving like they have been there before.

Two questions...how many people were there? Did students have tickets, they don't start back from break until tomorrow so they may not have student tickets for the game?

However, the place looked packed to me. However.... you do raise a good point about classes not being in attendance. I will offer that students have not returned officially to classes at Colorado either..... yet they stormed the court twice since Thursday, and Saturday. Not saying Colorado was wrong, in storming the court twice, beating top 15 teams. Nor OSU wrong in not storming the court in beating a number one rated team. Just stating what I observed over this past weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
