@PhoenixMaximus2 @_Pat_Murphy Maybe media or Cals agents floated the idea for leverage, but Cal was never coming here. He was going to a school like Arkansas with significant NIL investment. Same reason Dusty went to Michigan and turned it around quickly. OSU was not willing to commit to allocating the funds

@_Pat_Murphy So let's see, do I believe Pat on X, who missed the bigger point ENTIRELY, or Google and all the sources it cites.... This is a tough one... Take a lap.

I hear this a lot with Ohio State basketball. If too many fans are only going to watch when they're good, it's going to be hard for them to become "worth watching." Also, if the expectation is the Thad Matta era, 25% of the #Buckeyes' NCAA Tournament appearances, I think that's setting up for disappointment in an age where talent distribution is more evenly spread.

@JimboHenkeldick @OSUHoopsInsider @MostlyHoopsShow @clubtrillion I went to about 10 games this year, including most of the non-con games. The arena sucks, but the environment would be better if more than 9k people showed up. The point was no one gives a shit or supports until it’s time to shit on the program. Give the admin a reason to invest.

@JimboHenkeldick @OSUHoopsInsider @MostlyHoopsShow @clubtrillion I agree that there needs to be a greater investment of resources. But the administration doesn’t have much incentive when the fan base doesn’t care most of the year. The Schott is the Schott. It sucks, but the university isn’t going to invest the funds to build a new arena.

Titus goes OFF on Ohio State fans “Ohio State Basketball fans are the worst fans in the world… they watch football all year they don’t even pay attention to the basketball program, they parachute in around late January early February” - @clubtrillion

@JimboHenkeldick @OSUHoopsInsider @MostlyHoopsShow @clubtrillion Yet in the other thread you mention being frustrated with the administrations mismanagement of resources. That is valid. The point is no one gives a shit until they come on twitter in February and throw out obtuse arguments like you’re doing right now.

@JimboHenkeldick @OSUHoopsInsider @MostlyHoopsShow @clubtrillion Again, you’re proving the point. I directly address your comment about in the previous tweet about recruits and now you say it’s not about recruits. You say in this tweet we have enough resources to recruit anywhere.

@JimboHenkeldick @OSUHoopsInsider @MostlyHoopsShow @clubtrillion You’re proving his take… you’re a casual. Ohio has been pillaged by prep schools in recent years. Top talent hasn’t even stayed in state for high school. The Bucks also have Anthony Thompson, a top recruit, coming in next year and LJ Smith committed the following.

@OSUHoopsInsider @MostlyHoopsShow @clubtrillion This is goofy as fuck. We used to get top recruits now we’re lucky we keep guys like Devin Royal in the state

@JimboHenkeldick @MostlyHoopsShow @clubtrillion The reason Michigan was able to turn the program around quickly is because they were willing to financially invest. One of Titus main points. That’s why Dusty May went to Michigan. Buckeye fans always say we chose Diebler over May, but in reality I think May wanted the resources

@MostlyHoopsShow @clubtrillion All time lazy take from a Diebler Mouthpiece. Yes Diebler figured it out down the stretch and lives to fight another year but somehow TTUN manages to be competitive every year in football & has built a great basketball program. What’s our excuse? The fans? Cmon now @clubtrillion

@justin_golba You can’t commit a HIPPA violation on yourself…

Sounds like a HIPPA violation

@OSUHoopsInsider I’ll pay you $10 if Gru plays another minute this season.

When Ohio State goes into a scoring drought, that is when you bring in Mathieu Grujicic. He was the Duane Washington Jr. of his team in the U19 FIBA. Gru led the league in scoring.

@youphilmedu @11W He’s 40% from 3…

@11W Oh no who is gonna go 1-8 from 3 now?

Ohio State's backcourt has sustained a major blow in the thick of its NCAA Tournament hunt. 11w.rs/3OiHKDV

@DylanEveryday Oh sorry, I didn’t realize you specifically know. Must be true since you specifically know.

@Hoopswatcher17 Wrong , I know specifically what he wanted here and it was very much in reason Secondly, ill gladly take the guy who doesnt know Xs and Os but has stumbled into 6 final 4s

He wanted to coach at Ohio State. Ohio State said no thanks, we are good.

@UncPecos @OSUHoopsInsider I wouldn’t call floaters in traffic open layups. He’s a guard averaging almost 60% from the field and is forced to play 37 minutes a game. What, you want him to shoot 75% from the field? He has a higher fg% than all of the players on the list.

@OSUHoopsInsider I watched that same guy miss multiple open layups last game… what the fuck are we talking about here?

I will take him over all five players on this list

@meekz_16 @TheSchottPod They were clearly going to foul Mobley if he continued up court. If you call a timeout, they foul before you shoot. Obviously you don’t really want Tilly shooting the shot, but it was an open look that we wouldn’t have gotten in another scenario.

@TheSchottPod So at what point do we allow conversation about clear coaching malpractice? With a timeout, they let that attempt go up with 6 seconds on the clock. Crazy work.

Down by three, Ohio State's last ditch effort to beat Nebraska is a 3-pointer attempted by Christoph Tilly, an 11.8% 3-point shooter this season.

@AdamJardy Second game in a row doubling up the opponent at half time. Sometimes the best defense is a good offensive…. and defense.

#OhioState doubling up Mount St. Mary's at halftime after a 21-3 run to close the first half. #Buckeyes cruising, even as defense has had some issues: dispatch.com/story/sports/c…

@VUp1020 @OSUHoopsInsider Hate to break it to you, but Pitt appears to be ass as well.

@OSUHoopsInsider We look good, but opponent is ass so not really impressive. Im ready for some real competition, bring me Pitt!

OSU 52, MSM 26. Halftime thoughts?
