Hopefully we will know the answer to that at the half....

The Buckeyes need to show no love to Penn State on Valentine's Day.

I'm hoping to see the Buckeyes start making their threes again. Penn State has the worst defense in the Big Ten, and they're the worst in the Big Ten at defending the outside shot. So far the occasional off night from Butler or Harris (and the somewhat more frequent off nights from Lewis) haven't hurt the team, but come tournament time, I think they will. This is a great opportunity for the shooters to get some confidence and get the ball rolling again.
Oh, and hi. I'm Sean, and I'm new (more accurately, I've decided to stop lurking and start reading and participating more regularly). I'll try not to make an idiot of myself.

Although I don't really think Cook holds the key to success, I am a bit disappointed that he hasn't found more consistency. Maybe he struggles coming off the bench... I don't know. All I know is I love his post-up move and he uses the glass as well as anyone I've ever seen. He also leads the team with 47% behind the arc. The dude is an offensive power-house, but needs to show it every game.
And then there's his defense...

I think Cook's offense sputters at times and lacks confidence because he knows his defense is a liability. Just my two cents. It's hard to be full-go when you know that you might be hurting the team on the other end of the court. He's not the worst defender ever, it's just the polarity between his o-game and his d-game is extremely obvious.

We are at the point in the season where this team needs to maintain their focus and intensity each trip down the court. They have learned how to win close games and play on the road, now its time to keep the intensity for the whole game. If they can do that, they will make a run in the tourney. All the pieces are there.

I agree, I have no clue what happened to Ivans and Rons shot, earlier this year they were automatic from downtown. Maybe they are suffering from tired legs, I donno but hopefully they get it figured out soon, becuse we will need to hit threes down the stretch. Its also ironic that these two are seniors and this should be the part of the season that they step up and lead this team, but I have not seen it yet.

In spite of our slump shooting the ball from the perimeter, we are still finding ways to win games, that is the mark of a good team.
