Good season everyone going to miss Liddell and Young the most. Hope to have Branham back.

Isn’t he a one and done? Probably maxed out as a team.

Twenty win season and a tournament win. Extension? Illinois fans not as satisfied as the OSU fans.

Well, Illinois fans have to watch Bert football, so...

Besides, last I checked fans don't make contract decisions.

 

[RB07OSU]

Not gonna foul our way to victory. Just stop already. It's over.

Yep, quit delaying the inevitable. Oh well, ended up like I thought it would. Good effort boys to come back and make it a game. All I ever ask for is effort and we had it today. Gotta do better next season but in this moment, I don't think anyone can complain about this team today.

 

[Wells4Heisman]

Damn. Would be nice to have some actual tourney success. Meanwhile those assholes up north are going to their 5th straight sweet 16. Makes me sick

Seriously, just goes to show how incredible the Matta era was. Even with a few letdowns those teams were a joy to watch.

Basketball to people from Illinois as football is to OSU. Unreal expectations ..by the fanatics in the fan bases.

This game played out exactly as I expected. And I’m still pissed.

Hopefully he comes back and a couple of these guys will be immediate impact players:

Brice Sensabaugh

Felix Okpara

Bruce Thornton

Roddy Gayle Jr.

Bowen Hardman

and/or they strike gold in the transfer portal.

At least 2 of those guys will be the real deal. I'm hoping all of them of course but if 2 come in and start with Branham and Key, it'll be interesting for sure

Were it not for COVID and its aftereffects, this would have been a Final Four team or at least Elite 8. Simply no gas in the tank in the final five minutes. Played their hearts out and Buckeye fans should be proud of them.

 

[Don Muenz]

Preach, Steve!

 

[Mike80]

For next season...

• Extend Holtmann
  • Ensures he's not recuiting as a "dead man" contractually
  • Shows any potential replacements that Ohio State's AD won't hang you out to dry
• Find a true PG in the transfer portal
  • It was obvious that missing CJ Walker was a gaping hole all year long
• Pray every night Branham comes back

 

[Jake]

OSU's guards (Meechie, Wheeler, Brown, Russell) combined for 4 assists and 11 points. That won't get it done in March.

Going to miss EJ. I just hope Branham gives us one more year.

Seuing could return, too?

 

[Arch2H]

Feel for Kyle Young. Feel so bad for him after all he's given to this team. Dude just have it his all out there, but he should not come back in.

Chronic concussion issues: Why no protective headgear?

Don't really think it would do much aside from wearing a football helmet. I feel bad for him, he just plays so hard that I'm not sure much could have been done. Kyle is a dammed legend and I hope the best for him in whatever he does moving forward.
