0:10
Speaker 1: and ninety nine days. Yes, under three hundred days, just

Speaker 1: around the corner. If you're planning your next event, you

0:25
Speaker 1: All right, we're going to be changing things up today
0:27
Speaker 1: a little bit after I don't know what feels like
0:30
Speaker 1: about two hundred and fifty seven straight shows talking about
0:33
Speaker 1: the football team. We're talking a little bit of Ohio State
0:36
Speaker 1: men's basketball today. Buckeyes had a pretty good January at
0:41
Speaker 1: a near miss on Sunday on the road against Illinois,
0:45
Speaker 1: losing eighty seven to seventy nine. Still Jake Diebler's first
0:49
Speaker 1: full season, Buckeyes in pretty decent shape to make the
0:52
Speaker 1: NCAA tournament if they've got a hold. Serve now through
0:55
Speaker 1: the months of February and March. I'm going to talk
0:57
Speaker 1: a little bit about that lost to Illinois, but a
0:59
Speaker 1: little bit more on the season on the whole, talk
1:02
Speaker 1: through some of the players who maybe some new faces
1:05
Speaker 1: and much more. We're gonna be doing that with their buddy,
1:07
Speaker 1: Tony Gerdiman, fuck Huddle dot com Tony. That game on Sunday,
1:12
Speaker 1: Buckeyes at the under eight time out, had the lead,
1:15
Speaker 1: looked like, oh man, if they win this one, they
1:17
Speaker 1: are really in pretty good shape for an NCAA Trump bid,
1:20
Speaker 1: and then forgot how to put the basketball in the
1:22
Speaker 1: basket for about six minutes or so. Illinois ended up
1:26
Speaker 1: coming out with a win. But you know, this is
1:28
Speaker 1: still one of those performances where you look at it
1:31
Speaker 1: and you're like, this is that's a pretty good, gritty
1:34
Speaker 1: road performance for a team that was playing shorthanded.
1:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were playing short handed. They were without Sean
1:39
Speaker 2: Stewart and even Devin Royle was listed as questionable in
1:42
Speaker 2: this game, and he scored nineteen in the first half
1:44
Speaker 2: and twenty nine in the game overall. And you watched
1:48
Speaker 2: this game and Wyo State led forty two to thirty
1:51
Speaker 2: six and a half, but throughout the second half they
1:54
Speaker 2: were getting good looks. They just weren't making them like
1:58
Speaker 2: John Mobley Junior. He was getting in the paint and
2:01
Speaker 2: threw up a couple of avari balls, threw up some
2:03
Speaker 2: off the back of the iron. Bruce Thornton wasn't necessarily
2:07
Speaker 2: connecting on some of his good looks. And it wasn't
2:12
Speaker 2: just that four minute stretch that you're talking about. They
2:15
Speaker 2: shot thirty percent in the second half and Illinois shot
2:18
Speaker 2: sixty four percent in the second half. So the trajectory
2:21
Speaker 2: is eventually crossed and Illinois goes out for the wind.
2:25
Speaker 2: But you kind of look at it and Ohio State
2:28
Speaker 2: was whistled for twenty five personal fouls. Illinois's worse whistled
2:32
Speaker 2: for fourteen. Is that a home home court advantage in there?
2:35
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe not, But make the shots that you have
2:37
Speaker 2: because they had some good looks and they just didn't
2:39
Speaker 2: make them. And you know, they were eleven of twenty three.
2:42
Speaker 2: Ohio State was from three. That's good enough, But when
2:45
Speaker 2: you are sixteen of fifty from two, that's that's a
2:50
Speaker 2: telling stat And they just weren't making shots that they
2:53
Speaker 2: normally make or that they should have made made.
2:56
Speaker 1: That's something that's a game where they lose and you
2:58
Speaker 1: kind of go, well, you know, it was a good
3:00
Speaker 1: a good effort and to shot. Sometimes the shots aren't
3:02
Speaker 1: falling and sometimes you don't get the calls, and that's,
3:04
Speaker 1: you know, welcome to college basketball. But I think just
3:07
Speaker 1: that kind of performance on the road is representative of
3:11
Speaker 1: a pretty significant swing for the program. And you know,
3:13
Speaker 1: it was the last couple of years of the Chris
3:15
Speaker 1: Holtman era. It was just deader than disco and there
3:18
Speaker 1: was just there was no life there at all. They
3:20
Speaker 1: had a great stat on the broadcast buck Guys between
3:22
Speaker 1: November thirtieth, twenty twenty two and February twenty second, twenty
3:26
Speaker 1: twenty four, so basically two full seasons and almost almost
3:33
Speaker 1: two full seasons, they were one and eighteen on the road.
3:36
Speaker 1: You know it if you saw a video of Ohiostate
3:38
Speaker 1: basketball players getting on an airplane, something bad was about
3:42
Speaker 1: to happen. Since then, even including the loss on Sunday,
3:46
Speaker 1: they are five and four on the road. So from
3:48
Speaker 1: one eighteen to five and four, it just it feels
3:51
Speaker 1: like this is a little bit of a different vibe
3:54
Speaker 1: under Jake Diebler. They obviously put together a strong close
3:58
Speaker 1: to the season last year and then have been have
4:01
Speaker 1: been relatively solid so far this year, including some really
4:04
Speaker 1: good wins that we can get into in a little bit,
4:05
Speaker 1: but it just it just even you know, I don't
4:09
Speaker 1: want to oversell this. This is not a Final four team,
4:11
Speaker 1: this is not a national championship team. But this is
4:14
Speaker 1: a team where it's like, Okay, this is an interesting
4:17
Speaker 1: Ohio State basketball team, which at this point of the year,
4:20
Speaker 1: for several years it feels like that hasn't really been
4:23
Speaker 1: the case.
4:25
Speaker 2: An interesting team, a team with potential, a team that could,
4:28
Speaker 2: that has the ability to win the rest of their
4:30
Speaker 2: games this season, but being as up and down as
4:33
Speaker 2: they have been here and here and there, you don't
4:36
Speaker 2: expect that to happen. But they can win any of
4:38
Speaker 2: the games left on their schedule, and you mentioned some
4:41
Speaker 2: of the big wins, like if you can win it perdue,
4:43
Speaker 2: which Ohio State did do, Like, that's that's a pretty
4:46
Speaker 2: good sign. Now you have to be able to close.
4:49
Speaker 2: And that's that's kind of on the shoulders of Bruce Thornton,
4:52
Speaker 2: who is the outstanding junior point guard who's been around.
4:56
Speaker 2: It seems crazy that he's only a junior at this point.
4:58
Speaker 2: For as long as he's been ohios starting point guard
5:01
Speaker 2: but he's a veteran and he's a calming influence. And
5:05
Speaker 2: that's as the team gets older and it's run by him,
5:10
Speaker 2: the team gets older through him and they can maybe,
5:13
Speaker 2: like withstand some things. And you know, we've seen games
5:16
Speaker 2: in the past under Holtman where there's a collapse, and
5:20
Speaker 2: I know we can look at the second half like
5:23
Speaker 2: a collapse. They're outscored by fourteen points. But it wasn't
5:26
Speaker 2: like turnovers. Ohio State turned the ball over five times
5:30
Speaker 2: in this game. It was just missed shots. And that's
5:34
Speaker 2: if you want to talk moral victory, I guess we could,
5:36
Speaker 2: but it's a different kind of loss at least. And again,
5:41
Speaker 2: they're still, like you said, they're still in the tournament hunt,
5:44
Speaker 2: and they have the ability. They've got a good core
5:46
Speaker 2: of players, like say the top four group of guys
5:50
Speaker 2: that can you know, any one of them, whether it's
5:52
Speaker 2: Bruce Thornton, Michael Parrish, Devin Royal or John Mobley Junior,
5:57
Speaker 2: any of those guys can go for twenty on any night.
5:59
Speaker 2: That's not something that everybody has. So they've got four
6:03
Speaker 2: guys that can score and be a pain. But when
6:08
Speaker 2: two of those guys, Bruce Thornton and John Mobley Junior
6:10
Speaker 2: go quiet or go cold. They were thirteen for thirty
6:14
Speaker 2: nine in this game. So when one year two guards
6:18
Speaker 2: are shooting thirty three percent from the field and better
6:22
Speaker 2: than fifty percent from three, like, these are bizarre numbers
6:27
Speaker 2: when they are Mobiley was two for thirteen from two
6:30
Speaker 2: and Thornton was three for eleven from two. Like, make
6:34
Speaker 2: this make sense, Tom.
6:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's some days, like you said, the shots just
6:38
Speaker 1: aren't falling, and you mentioned, you know guys who can
6:41
Speaker 1: go for twenty every game or in any game. Mobley
6:44
Speaker 1: had eighteen, Thornton had twenty two. Devin Royal had twenty
6:47
Speaker 1: nine against Illinois. These are you know, these are numbers
6:50
Speaker 1: that are going to win an awful lot of games.
6:54
Speaker 1: The fact that you've got the backcourt that you do,
6:57
Speaker 1: Thornton and Mobley together, those are you know, as you said,
7:01
Speaker 1: Thornton feels like he's about a sixty year senior. I
7:03
Speaker 1: can't believe he's got another year after this one. Potentially
7:06
Speaker 1: Mobly as a freshman. This is the time of year
7:10
Speaker 1: when you start looking at when you're evaluating matchups, you're
7:12
Speaker 1: looking at, Okay, what does the backcourt look like? And
7:15
Speaker 1: it may not be the most consistent, but it's certainly
7:18
Speaker 1: a on any given day, that's a backcourt that's good
7:21
Speaker 1: enough to beat just about anyone in the country. And
7:24
Speaker 1: you know, add into Devon Royal, add in a Mica Parrish,
7:27
Speaker 1: well we'll get into Parish in a minute. We'll get
7:29
Speaker 1: into some transfers. But you know, just the backcourt on
7:32
Speaker 1: the whole, Thornton and Mobley together, that's that's something that
7:36
Speaker 1: is at least sort of intriguing. And it's one of
7:39
Speaker 1: those things where you know, you get to selection Sunday,
7:41
Speaker 1: assuming they're in the field, that's something that when they
7:44
Speaker 1: put you know, the Ohio State versus whoever in the
7:46
Speaker 1: seven to ten game or six eleven game or eight
7:49
Speaker 1: nine game, whatever it is, that's something that you're going
7:52
Speaker 1: to hear Seth Davis say, listen, when you got a
7:54
Speaker 1: backcourt like Ohio State that can present some issues for
7:57
Speaker 1: the opponent.
7:59
Speaker 2: Yep, that's one thing You're always looking and what do
8:01
Speaker 2: the guards do? What can they do? And you've got
8:04
Speaker 2: two guys, and Thornton and Mobley who can both run
8:06
Speaker 2: the point, can both play two, they can play off
8:09
Speaker 2: of each other, they can spot up and catch and shoot.
8:12
Speaker 2: So if they were to get hot at the right time,
8:15
Speaker 2: then you know, I don't know what does a run
8:17
Speaker 2: look like, But in terms of the the end of
8:20
Speaker 2: this regular season, Mobiles only only going to get better.
8:24
Speaker 2: You know. The freshman Wall, I don't know if it
8:27
Speaker 2: really applies because he's he's very aggressive and he is
8:32
Speaker 2: frankly very talented and can score scored eighteen in this one,
8:37
Speaker 2: nineteen in his previous game, twelve before that, nine before that,
8:40
Speaker 2: twenty two before that. Like he's he's going to put
8:44
Speaker 2: up some numbers and has the freedom to do so. Now,
8:48
Speaker 2: did he take some of that freedom, too much of
8:50
Speaker 2: that freedom in this one? Maybe, But like I said,
8:53
Speaker 2: he was getting some good looks. And as long as
8:55
Speaker 2: he's getting good looks, whether it's him or Bruce Thornton,
8:57
Speaker 2: because they can both get into the paint, if those
9:01
Speaker 2: shots are falling, then this team can get pretty dangerous.
9:04
Speaker 2: It's almost kind of bizarre. It's like the opposite thing
9:08
Speaker 2: where generally, if if your guards get hot from three,
9:11
Speaker 2: they can carry you through a tournament. Like these two guys,
9:14
Speaker 2: the threes are are what they are. They'll shoot forty
9:17
Speaker 2: or fifty percent for three it's just what about the
9:19
Speaker 2: stuff inside the line? Are they can they convert sixty
9:23
Speaker 2: or sixty percent of those? And I Thornton for the
9:26
Speaker 2: seasons shooting better than fifty percent, which is pretty pretty
9:29
Speaker 2: incredible for a point guard because you don't normally get that.
9:32
Speaker 2: But overall, like those two guys, that's a great place
9:36
Speaker 2: to start because they're both pretty dynamic.
9:39
Speaker 1: Someone else who's pretty dynamic, as Devin Royle mintioned, he
9:42
Speaker 1: had twenty nine points against Illinois, and I don't want to,
9:44
Speaker 1: you know, get anyone thinking that this is like the
9:46
Speaker 1: norm from him. This is the second highest point total
9:49
Speaker 1: for him all year, and the highest was against Valparaiso
9:52
Speaker 1: in back in December, So this was a little bit
9:54
Speaker 1: of an outlier for him in terms of total production,
9:57
Speaker 1: in terms of terms of scoring, but he's someone who
10:00
Speaker 1: does a lot of the other stuff. Consistent rebounder, just
10:03
Speaker 1: kind of consistently between six and nine rebounds a game,
10:07
Speaker 1: gets to the line, barely consistent shooter can hit the
10:11
Speaker 1: three every once in a while. He doesn't take many,
10:12
Speaker 1: but when he's out there, he can hit him sometimes.
10:15
Speaker 1: He's someone who I think is outside of Thornton, maybe
10:19
Speaker 1: the single biggest or most crucial player for this team
10:22
Speaker 1: in terms of just being able to do a lot
10:24
Speaker 1: of different stuff at a relatively high level.
10:28
Speaker 2: To me, he's like EJ. Ladell, where he's not the
10:31
Speaker 2: biggest guy. He is sixty six sixty seven, but he
10:34
Speaker 2: plays bigger and he's really smart around the basket. He's
10:37
Speaker 2: got really good post moves, but has developed an ability
10:41
Speaker 2: to drive and finish and developed his jumper, and so
10:45
Speaker 2: he has the ability to score. He's a born scorer.
10:48
Speaker 2: It's just a matter of him getting more shots. He
10:50
Speaker 2: took eighteen in this one, and you're thinking in that
10:53
Speaker 2: second half maybe they could have gone to him a
10:55
Speaker 2: little bit more. He was ten of eighteen. But he's
10:58
Speaker 2: a guy that is just a tough matchup and you know,
11:02
Speaker 2: maybe he will struggle against somebody with size, but if
11:05
Speaker 2: he gets them out on the three point line, he
11:08
Speaker 2: can go around them. He's like you said, he's a
11:09
Speaker 2: good rebound. He's good at putting, putting bad shots back
11:12
Speaker 2: up and in on the offensive glass. And he's only
11:16
Speaker 2: going to get better and better. And I think the
11:20
Speaker 2: the what he becomes down the road, like you can
11:23
Speaker 2: see glimpses of it now, and he's just really effective
11:27
Speaker 2: score and then he's perfectly fine doing all the dirty
11:31
Speaker 2: work where it's like, if you want points, go get
11:33
Speaker 2: rebounds and that sort of thing.
11:36
Speaker 1: So those are guys who you've probably at least hurt
11:38
Speaker 1: a little bit mobily a freshman this year. But Thornton
11:40
Speaker 1: and Royal obviously guys who you've you've seen on previous
11:43
Speaker 1: Ohio State teams. This is also in the highest eight
11:45
Speaker 1: team that's a little more veteran than you might think
11:48
Speaker 1: because they have they brought in a bunch of transfers
11:50
Speaker 1: this year. John Stewart came in from Duke, Michah Parrish
11:53
Speaker 1: came in from San Diego State, Aaron Bradshaw came in
11:56
Speaker 1: from Hockey, And those are all guys Parish, you know,
11:58
Speaker 1: as you said earlier, probably play the biggest of those
12:00
Speaker 1: three roles. But those are three guys that I think
12:03
Speaker 1: give them a little bit more of a veteran presence
12:06
Speaker 1: than you might think just looking in terms of like
12:08
Speaker 1: how many guys are returning, Not that many, but you
12:11
Speaker 1: got you got veteran guys coming in from outside.
12:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Michael Parris is a guy that you know
12:17
Speaker 2: can grab a rebound and lead the break or you
12:20
Speaker 2: just lead the offense and get the offensive set going
12:23
Speaker 2: on the other end. And he did not have a
12:26
Speaker 2: great game against Illinois, but has been pretty consistent with
12:30
Speaker 2: the shot. And you know, he's another guy that can
12:33
Speaker 2: throw in four to eight rebounds and it can defend
12:35
Speaker 2: a little, He'll get some steals, gets his hands on
12:38
Speaker 2: the basketball. So he's he's just a guy that maybe
12:45
Speaker 2: the opponent doesn't always account for, and when they don't,
12:47
Speaker 2: that's bad news for them because he can he can
12:50
Speaker 2: put it on the court, and he can drive, and
12:53
Speaker 2: he can catch and shoot as well. So he's a
12:55
Speaker 2: good one. Like I would like to see more for
12:57
Speaker 2: Ohio State out of Aaron Bradshaw and Seawan Stewart. Bradshaw
13:02
Speaker 2: was missing for a while, we know, and Stuart hasn't
13:05
Speaker 2: quite become what the in what he was promised as
13:10
Speaker 2: as a pro high profile recruit at Duke. And he
13:15
Speaker 2: rebounds a little bit, but like the consistency is a
13:19
Speaker 2: bit of a concern, and like there's very little scoring
13:21
Speaker 2: that comes from him. Last he scored double figures once
13:27
Speaker 2: in the last about sixteen games or so, and that
13:29
Speaker 2: was fourteen points where he was four or five from
13:31
Speaker 2: the field. And six of eight from the free throw
13:33
Speaker 2: line against Oregon. So like the offensive, he's a guy
13:37
Speaker 2: that if you want points, go find them at the
13:40
Speaker 2: rebound because there's not a lot that they can drop
13:43
Speaker 2: for him. And Aaron Bradshaw kind of gets lost at times.
13:46
Speaker 2: But they both have a ton of athletic potential. But
13:49
Speaker 2: I think they the physicality is still something that Aaron
13:54
Speaker 2: Bradshaw is getting accustomed to. And then hey, you know
13:59
Speaker 2: that physicality. Once they get out of the Big Ten
14:00
Speaker 2: to get into the NCAA tournament, things might become a
14:02
Speaker 2: little bit easier for.
14:04
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they still have quite a bit of Big
14:06
Speaker 1: Ten between here and there. But it is definitely a
14:09
Speaker 1: team that could present some interesting matchups in March. Just
14:12
Speaker 1: to sort of give you a sense for what's left
14:14
Speaker 1: on the schedule, you heard Tony say they could win
14:16
Speaker 1: every game or any game moving out from here on out.
14:20
Speaker 1: Next game is home against Maryland on Thursday. That's one
14:22
Speaker 1: of a very few, really, you know, potentially challenging games
14:26
Speaker 1: left on the schedule. They have three games left Maryland
14:29
Speaker 1: at home, Michigan at home, and UCLA on the road,
14:32
Speaker 1: with teams ranked kind of around where they are in
14:34
Speaker 1: the net rankings or in Ken Palm. Blackys are twenty
14:37
Speaker 1: six in both of those. Other than that, once they
14:40
Speaker 1: get through Maryland, six of the last eight games are
14:43
Speaker 1: against teams ranked lower than fifty in the net rankings.
14:46
Speaker 1: Those are all games you should win. Doesn't mean you're
14:48
Speaker 1: going to win, but there are all games you should win.
14:51
Speaker 1: And I'm sure right now they're Jake Diebler's looking back
14:54
Speaker 1: at some of the games they probably should have won against,
14:57
Speaker 1: you know, Quad two. They've lost three Quad two games,
15:00
Speaker 1: all by one possession, ninety one to ninety against pitt
15:03
Speaker 1: seventy three to seventy one against Oregon, seventy seven to
15:05
Speaker 1: seventy six against Indiana, all three of those at home. Boyd,
15:09
Speaker 1: is that that overall win loss record look a little different.
15:12
Speaker 1: They're thirteen to nine right now, could be sixteen and
15:14
Speaker 1: six with just those three one possession games, all at
15:17
Speaker 1: home against teams that are kind of lower ranked. But
15:20
Speaker 1: you know, Tony, right now, the most updated bracketology and
15:24
Speaker 1: this is not, you know, as scientific as it ever is.
15:28
Speaker 1: This is also about a week old. But Joe Lenardi
15:31
Speaker 1: bracketology had them as a ten seed. Right now, they're
15:33
Speaker 1: one of the last four not having to play in
15:35
Speaker 1: the first four, So well, that was confusing, you know
15:38
Speaker 1: what I mean. This is a team that seems like,
15:41
Speaker 1: unless something stupid happens, they should make the NCAAs this year.
15:45
Speaker 1: And then at that point you kind of say, all right, well,
15:48
Speaker 1: let's let's see what the matchup looks like. And you
15:51
Speaker 1: know what, what's a successful season for this team? It
15:53
Speaker 1: feels like they've kind of exceeded at least my expectations
15:57
Speaker 1: a little bit already.
15:59
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the tournament is the goal and then
16:03
Speaker 2: whatever happens, they're great. But you want to start building
16:07
Speaker 2: on that. And that's good enough this year? Will it
16:10
Speaker 2: be good enough next year? It shouldn't be, but yeah,
16:13
Speaker 2: I'm with you. Like, losing Illinois is pretty much like understood,
16:19
Speaker 2: Illinois favored, So maybe that's kind of baked in. But
16:22
Speaker 2: as long as you don't do anything dumb at this point,
16:27
Speaker 2: you're gonna get credit for some big wins throughout the
16:29
Speaker 2: course of the season. You don't want to negate those
16:32
Speaker 2: and minimize those with some bad losses. So as long
16:35
Speaker 2: as you do what you should do and win most
16:38
Speaker 2: of these games the vast majority, because you're good enough
16:40
Speaker 2: and you should and if you don't, then I guess
16:42
Speaker 2: you weren't good enough. But they're gonna have the opportunity.
16:45
Speaker 2: And if they can steal a game at UCLA or
16:48
Speaker 2: you know, basically just defend the home court. Most importantly,
16:52
Speaker 2: beat Michigan, beat Maryland, there'll be two more quality wins
16:56
Speaker 2: and then you know, don't lose that at a USC
17:00
Speaker 2: or in Nebraska. That sort of thing, even though road
17:03
Speaker 2: wins are you know, road losses are what they are.
17:06
Speaker 2: But just be smart, don't do anything. Don't do what
17:10
Speaker 2: Donnie don't does. Tom As they say.
17:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, you win the games you're supposed to win. And
17:15
Speaker 1: you you know, like I said, they've got three games
17:18
Speaker 1: against those teams that are sort of around them in
17:19
Speaker 1: the net rankings. Just go one and two in those
17:22
Speaker 1: and win your six games against the teams in the fifties,
17:25
Speaker 1: and you're feeling probably pretty good about life going into
17:28
Speaker 1: the Big Ten tournament, going into Big Internment with twenty
17:30
Speaker 1: wins at that point. So we'll see, we'll see how
17:32
Speaker 1: that all shakes out. That all starts on Thursday against Maryland. Guys,
17:37
Speaker 1: we'll be there at the Shot and Seen Center Thursday
17:40
Speaker 1: for that game. So we will be there as well,
17:43
Speaker 1: covering that for you. We do, in fact, cover things
17:45
Speaker 1: other than football every once in a great while at

17:50
Speaker 1: there as well, as there's plenty of stuff to talk
17:52

17:55
Speaker 1: championship season into the start of a national championship defense
17:58
