    Look Who's Transferring Now (The Basketball Portal)

    The more I think about OSU adding a guard through the portal, the more I think Meechie might not be the best move. Obviously Meechie has been outstanding for South Carolina and has a lot of talent, the NIL folks are drawn to him for good reason. At first glance it seems like a no-brainer to go...

    Look Who's Transferring Now (The Basketball Portal)

    A bit bizarre, Fran McCaffery's son Patrick is in the portal. Iowa starting PG Tony Perkins also is in the portal.

    Look Who's Transferring Now (The Basketball Portal)

    Colorado's starting big man Eddie Lampkin is in the portal. Lampkin has a big body and is highly skilled, he just is a below the rim type of big man. I'm sure whomever gets him will get a big boost.

    I wouldn't go that far. Basketball is much easier to luck your way into a great year.

    Jake Diebler (Head Coach)

    While the season is over, I feel like this is when the real work begins for Diebler. He’s got to lay the groundwork for the future of the program starting now. There's a lot of work to do between figuring out the coaching staff, conversatiins with the current players, monitoring the portal...

    I will say I don't think May's strategy is a smart one. The B1G historically has been a halfcourt-oriented league. You're not going to win league championships with the up-tempo style unless you recruit like Duke or Kentucky, and I highly doubt May can recruit like that.

    Georgia at Ohio State (NIT QFs), Tuesday, Mar 26, 2024, 7 PM, ESPN

    I keep thinking how much they missed Scotty not playing today. Not only did they need his shooting ability, but some of those OSU regulars (esp Roddy) were gassed down the stretch & one more good reserve getting some minutes could've made a real difference. Just kind of one of those games...

    Dusty May said today he wants his team to "be easy on the eyes." He also said he'll be "speed dating" to add talent with the transfer portal. Never heard those ones before. So I guess no homely looking dudes are gonna make the cut in UM recruiting...

    SF Jamison Battle (Official Thread)

    Helluva finish to the season for Jamison. You can tell he gave it his all out there. Unfortunately he can't come back to OSU, and I'm gonna miss his leadership, confidence & ability. He should be able to play hoops somewhere as a pro for a while. Best of luck to the young man.

    Georgia at Ohio State (NIT QFs), Tuesday, Mar 26, 2024, 7 PM, ESPN

    Disappointed in the result but not the effort. Obviously need to get better shooting as a team, and its a glaring problem area with Battle leaving. Other than him most of these guys aren't very good at the 3 point shot & miss too many open ones. Missing Scotty Middleton today was huge - he...

    Georgia at Ohio State (NIT QFs), Tuesday, Mar 26, 2024, 7 PM, ESPN

    OSU has only ever played UGA in men's hoops once previously, in 1977. I do expect OSU to have a relatively decent crowd. The lower bowl is mostly sold out, basically the baseline area seats are the ones still unsold at the moment. As a side note, if I were doing scheduling for OSU men's...

    2024 NIT discussion

    Interestingly there are 8 different conferences represented by the 8 NIT quarterfinal teams. Seton Hall/Big East UNLV/Mountain West Georgia/SEC OSU/B1G Indiana St/MVC Cincinnati/Big 12 Utah/Pac-12 VCU/A10

    Look Who's Transferring Now (The Basketball Portal)

    I'd definitely love to see Meechie come back, but I'm sure he's trying to maximize his NIL as well. I could definitely see Bruce-Meechie-Roddy working great as the 1-3 starters.

    Look Who's Transferring Now (The Basketball Portal)

    Former Buckeye Meechie Johnson, now a star for the Gamecocks, is in the portal.

    ttun basketball (Juwan out, Dusty May in)

    I am gonna say they'll fire him (or he leaves under some pressure) within 5 years. He had some outstanding players this season & a team that had the talent to beat Arizona, but lost a handful of games against lesser teams. Alijah Martin & Johnell Davis is a better guard duo than he's gonna...
