We were covering the spread when the subs were made. Is that part of the issue?

I had us covering the +18.5 and felt good until we cleared our bench. Personally didn’t have an issue with going to the bench because the way the game was called there was no coming back. Too many whistles on contested shots.

No, I don't give two shits about my bets. Yes, I had us with the points, but that has absolutely zero to do with my opinion. I just felt like the guys played too hard to take away any chance with that amount of time left....and it's obvious I'm in the minority on that. It's okay, I've never been one to be most popular, I wear that well.

You’re not in the minority… Literally, ITF and someone else had the same or similar take.

Just take a break. You’re fuming and that’s okay.

Didn't say I was alone.....seems more people were okay with the decision, which put me in the minority. You are damn right I'm fuming.....just tired of shitty results to life right now, but that's a me problem not anyone here, so my apologies. I'll be back Wednesday.

It’s all good man. Hope things get better for you. A win vs Bradley would be huge!!

Probably should stop hanging joy in life on Sycamore basketball.....but what's a Diehard to do?

Definitely hang some joy on it, but I wouldn’t hang anger and frustration on them… Especially on the road at Ohio State the margin for error was razor thin and we weren’t good enough.

But continue to fan hard man - we all do.

Side note. We had Harding and Daughtry out there together at the same time. It wasn’t terrible. Offensively it creates an open 3 for Harding on the perimeter or allows JD to go 1 on 1. Probably need to create some high/low action off of it. Defensively it worked bc JD didn’t have to guard a shooter. I wouldn’t play that combo if either has to guard a shooter.
 
Have we experimented with Alderink at the hub with a 5 out in practice? I know he's behind a lot of people but I can let him keep watching vorst and gray get in before him.

Not worth posting the long post game OSU video, but Ohio State's coach had complimentary things to say about our team, believes we will be a force in the Valley. Not quite the love fest that Tom Izzo gave last year, but still nice to hear.

In the same interview, Ohio State's coach neither confirmed or denied the allegation that OSU boosters paid the refs to provide a crazy home whistle. 😃

25 against a big 10 team is pretty impressive. I would say he is exceeding expectations.

Far & away. He was a bright spot today and has been for the last month.

Now… We had him inbounding the ball midway through the second half as I recall. Instant steal and 2 or 3pts on the other end whatever. That is a non-negotiable for me. Zero chance this guy should ever be inbounding the ball for us. Points like this are where Graves needs examined - of all the guys you want throwing it in JD bottom third of the roster all time - in history.

is that the one that was inbounded to Harding in the backcourt and stolen? The pass should go to someone quick enough to create space.
