Looks like Indiana is getting back to what Indiana traditionally has been in hoops, so this should be a nice road test for the Buckeyes.

hahahaha...no.

Is that your insight on this game? You've only made 8 posts and I'm already sick of you.


In other news...unless we just go to crap shooting the ball we will be fine, Indiana can't defend all of our shooters. I think we are going to have a lot of open looks at the basket. Also wouldn't be surprised if we have a 5 to 1 ratio on points off turnovers to them. This will be a game where our speed and athleticism is going to shine.

Indiana can have Cody Zeller...Sully is going to show him how the big boys play basketball.

Cody Zeller is by far the best of the Zeller brothers. He is the Truth.

I hate everything Hoosier, but I have to give credit where it's deserved. It will be very difficult to win in Bloomington. Should be a great game.

The Amir Williams who has recently played more than 10 minutes only in games in which Sullinger was injured?

Even in blowouts, he's only getting 7-8 minutes.

I'd wager real money that, barring an injury to Sullinger, Williams plays < 10 minutes.

Sullinger could also sit due to "foul problems"; however, let's hope that doesn't happen either.

Yeah, and that's why I went with 10 instead of 5.

Barring injury, foul trouble, or a blowout for OSU, I don't see Amir topping 5 minutes.

You don't replace Sully with Williams unless you have to. And you don't, IMO, add Williams with Sully because that is one more man to crowd the lane when Sully has the ball. There are circumstances where I can see throwing him on the court for a minute here or there, but I just can't envision him being used unless it's because Sully or Ravenel can't be out there.

Not gonna lie, kind of nervous for this. I think MSU beating them by 15 (iirc) helps, but I don't like how we've played on the road.

We played Kansas without Sully the entire game and South Carolina without Sully for all but 6 minutes (and won anyway). I think his absence and the opponents were bigger factors than being on the road.

I'll put our team against anyone, anywhere, when we are at full strength. :oh:

Oh no, don't get me wrong. I think Zeller is a great player. My point was how silly it is to be overly worried about the guy, when we have a guy who is more dominant in almost every aspect of the game. Zeller might very well be the second best big man in the B1G...but that still puts him a long way away from the first.

Zeller is a great offenseive post player, and might be the best Zeller (not my opinion but for arguements sake) but he has never faced anyone like sullinger, or his butt. 2010 had post players like sully, fab Melo, Josh Smith, etc. 2011 are more lean longer post players Zeller, Davis, Birch, hell Amir was the number 4 center. Sullinger will score at will in the paint, none of the zellers are shot blockers, and Cody has yet to put on the strength his brothers have had after years of college basketball.

Zeller's speed may be an issue but i think he will have a tougher time getting into a position he is comfortable with in the paint bc sully will defeinetly hold his ground.

With an Injured PG i think Craft will have a field day, and if he gets in foul trouble Scott could be effective like he was today.

We match-up pretty well with all other positions and i see a 15+ pt win for the bucks.
