My favorite country band is Ohio-Indiana Line, but they only sing songs about Tom Raper RVs.

@PPLaRaul @meshconcept Shot 3s better than Jon Diebler did as a freshman.

@meshconcept @TonyGerdeman He can’t shoot.

I will judge the Ohio State season as a success as long as Amare Bynum is retained.

@SherryStorm22 That's gonna be a situation.

@TonyGerdeman I’d say Mobley, Chatman, Royal are also crucial but can’t see both Royal and Bynum coming back if both split time with Thompson

@troydoseck_08 What do you consider "significantly?" He'll get better, but as a freshman this year he shot threes better than Jon Diebler did as a freshman.

@TonyGerdeman 3pt % needs to be improved significantly

@meshconcept 32% from three this year, so he has the ability.

@TonyGerdeman can’t say i watched much osu hoops this year (for good reason) but can he shoot? or is his game limited to dunks and layups?

@ahanes1 I don't think you ask too much.

@TonyGerdeman Just making the tournament not good enough with the resources available to tOSU. Diebler earns one more year for making the tourney, but he gone (and should be) without a real NCAA tourney run next season

Was this a successful season for Ohio State men's basketball?

@howser2936 @TedBuckeye1 Ohio State has made the tourney 22 times in the 42 years since it expanded to 64 teams. Based on that fact alone, any year with a tourney bid is a positive spin. But there's no reason to be satisfied with it.

@TonyGerdeman @TedBuckeye1 And Michigan won it all a few years ago. Being bad recently don’t mean you just lower expectation and except it. Fuck right on off. There is no positive spin to this unless Diebler gets fired, which I know won’t happen, so we will have a shutty season next year as well.

@TedBuckeye1 Have they made any of those final fours recently or consistently? This is no different than Michigan touting all of their football NCs. That being said, Ohio State should make the tournament regularly and what is the ceiling this year should not be the ceiling next year.

@TonyGerdeman 6th most final fours of all time! And you are asking if losing to a school like TCU in round one is a success??? Come on man, this whole Buckeye beat is so fucking soft.

@history_oh61180 @FormerPaigeBFan Would Tyson/Wal-Mart/Jerry Jones write checks for Cal if he was at OSU?

@TonyGerdeman @FormerPaigeBFan Well they just won their first SEC championship in 26 years. So yes, that’s a good improvement. And tOSU has five Big Titles and are average at best. You tell me genius?

@history_oh61180 @FormerPaigeBFan You tell me.

@TonyGerdeman @FormerPaigeBFan Did Arkansas improve more than tOSU?

@FormerPaigeBFan Such is life for a program that makes the tourney about 50% of the time throughout history.

@TonyGerdeman Risky path to make marginal improvement from well below accepted standards be considered success

@OSUUnleashed Fans' standards are generally unattainable, so best to stay in reality.

@TonyGerdeman For what should be Ohio States standards or for this team specifically? Think that changes the answer

@FormerPaigeBFan Is an improvement a success?

@TonyGerdeman If this is a successful season for them we’ve fallen a long long way

My Final Four picks are still alive.

4.3 seconds remaining should never lead to a half-court heave.

Ouch.
