@SWeir1023 I think they heard ya, Coach

@GPetitOSU It’s 90/10 split on the blame pie of who’s at fault on (players 90). Watched 6’2”” score in the paint against our “defensive stoppers” of Mobley and Allen.

Come on Prime. Critical play in the game was the out of bounds call with 11 seconds left in a tie game. No replay? What are we doing?

@SWeir1023 I completely agree! That’s a complete effort thing. Doesn’t that fall on the players? Kenny can yell/scream all he wants. He can draw up whatever he wants. Wade and Harden and Mitchell ain’t playing any harder because of it. It’s all on the player’s effort. TOR way more effort.

Just not good enough when it counts. Poor decision making. Poor execution. Questionable (at best) ATOs. ISO ball on way to many possessions down the stretch. Passing the ball to your worst free throw shooter with bad hands at the end of the game when you have a lead. Pure Panic.

@SWeir1023 If I’ve learned anything, it’s that players execute. Doesn’t matter what the coaches draw up. Did you watch the last couple timeouts? Coaches weren’t even in there. Players make all the money. It’s their game. Same in college. Haha

@GPetitOSU Pure panic move. Coaching failure when he saw it was hectic. All leads to throwing to someone without great hands who also happens to be your worst free throw shooter. Horrendous execution by the guys in quarter zips and the guys in black jerseys.

@SWeir1023 Come on! The 4th quarter was the best quarter they’ve played ALL series. Down 11 to start the quarter. I’d say that’s showing up when it counted.

@SteveHelwagen Did they get the guy they wanted anyway??

We dropped 3 spots and got a 3rd and a 5th I’ll allow it

For the first time in a while @OhioStateHoops has lots of optimism heading into next season. @JakeDiebler spoke to me and @TheAndyKatz for Hoops HQ on the state of the program heading into 26-27 @hhqsports hoopshq.com/ncaa/jake-dieb…

"We wanted to come to a team that is ready to compete for a national championship... the comfort of being around Diebler" Scottie Pippen loved the atmosphere at the Shoe. He said he's looking forward to his son being a part of the Buckeye family, and what Diebler is building.

Ohio State updated Bruce Thornton's bio on the team website after the season. After all of the stats and accolades, they added "An all-time great dude" at the very end.

Jerry Emig (@BuckeyeNotes), Ohio State University (@OhioState / @OhioStAthletics) Associate Athletics Director of Communications, will be inducted into the CSC Hall of Fame AND receive his Lifetime Achievement Award this June at the #CSCUnite26 convention in Las Vegas! "I am thrilled, appreciative and humbled to be recognized as a CSC Hall of Fame member.

@_Pat_Murphy I’d co-sign for that

Appeal for another year?

Some are better than others. This guy also made others better. It’s been a privilege. Thank you Bruce! ✌️ #2

The 1st points of the NCAA Tournament go to Bruce Thornton. No one better.

This looks like a staged photo -- "everyone look like you're working while Red, you watch TV and fill out your bracket". But trust me, these guys put in work taking care of EVERYONE!

"...and we get to see Thornton have his own iconic highlights in March this season. Regardless of whether that happens or not, Thornton will forever be one of the ultimate Buckeyes, something that hopefully people are able to recognize as being as meaningful as it is."

You sure did, 2.

Bruce Thornton is now the all-time leading scorer in Ohio State men’s basketball history 🏀🔥 Point No. 2,097 puts him past Dennis Hopson (1983-87) for the record 👏

This dude!

Even if you don’t get one of these tomorrow, you still have to come support this dude in his final home game. Bruce is a rare. You won’t see another do what he’s done.

The 15 made 3-pointers from Ohio State tonight is the program's most in a Big Ten game since Jan. 2, 2022, an overtime win over Nebraska.
