Hoosiers shouldn't score many points at all if the Buckeyes come out and play pressure D. Bucks should force a lot of turnovers- IU doesn't take care of the ball.

I expect a 12-17 pt win, could be more depending on how the D plays.

Safe to say we gotta have this win. Hopefully, it'll be another confidence builder before the schedule gets tougher, again.

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
OHIO STATE VS. INDIANA
7 tonight

? Where: Value City Arena
? TV: ESPN
? Radio: WBNS (1460 AM, 97.1 FM)
? Records: Ohio State 11-3 overall, 1-2 Big Ten; Indiana 5-10, 0-3

? Matchup to watch: Ohio State targeted 7-foot B.J. Mullens with the ball more last week, and Indiana's middling size inside could make that likely to continue. Mullens had 21 shots from the field and scored 28 points in games against Michigan State and Houston Baptist and played more minutes off the bench in each game than starter Dallas Lauderdale.

? Notable: Indiana's leading scorer, Devan Dumes, is questionable because of an ankle injury he suffered Saturday against Illinois. Mullens ranks third in the Big Ten in field-goal percentage (.557). Indiana forward Tom Pritchard of Westlake, Ohio (Lakewood St. Edward), is the Big Ten's top freshman scorer (12.2 points per game) and rebounder (7.3). Watkins Memorial graduate Eric Arnett, a pitcher for the IU baseball team, has practiced and traveled with the team but not played in a game.

? Next: at Michigan, 8 p.m. Saturday.

excited to watch these guys tonight. When is Lighty due back again?

June 31.

The real answer is still 6-12 weeks after 12/17. As posts in his thread mention the best guess at this time is mid to late February. It all depends on how his leg heals.

The problem is that IU and HBU are such dreadful teams, how do you really know if you're seeing improvement or just games against air?

I just look for flow on both sides of the ball, a well oiled machine.
I sure can tell when they aren't in sync.:tongue2:

:oh:
