I'm not worried. We're still in good shape. Knew they would make some kind of run. They benefitted a lot from the free throw line.

Good half of ball! Not worried.
Need to play some defense and Georgi needs to show up.
Sloppy ending and Kellogg will be giddy in the studio.
Need to start going back inside to Kofi. Can’t let Washington get hot because that boy can fill it up
Feed the 7 footer. Not rocket science especially with a 17 point lead.
I think 99% of you are forgetting this is a top 10 team.. lol We split with them this year.. They weren't going to miss all of their shots.. Geesh

I would play poor defense too if every time I tried to put in some effort I was called for a soft foul
Ayo has to play better..hiw many tirnovers does he have?

We were pretty lucky the way OSU shot from the floor in the first 14 minutes. Not sure it was our defense.
Up 5 is acceptable. Not ideal, but acceptable.

Not Dos but three.
That was a BRUTAL end of the half. Ayo needs to decide that he wants to participate today.
3-10 from the field, 2 assists and 3(bad and untimely) turnovers.....that won't fly.
Hard to be tough on the guy for all he does do, but he needs to show up because this is going to be a dogfight.

Yep. It's basketball. I'd think most of here have watched enough to not overreact.
He was barking going off the court, expect us to come out with a purpose in the second half and put the game away early
A generous 3

Everyone needs to relax. We had such a big lead because OSU had one made basket through the first 10 minutes.
They were going to make shots while we missed some and here we are. I think you all would have taken a 5 point lead at half.

I mean Liddell did hammer fist Ayo on the top of the head and there was no review of it. Ayo may need to sit.
Like others have said, they need to keep feeding Kofi. tOSU doesn't have anyone who can stop him and it's hard to have a long scoring drought when you're getting dunks and lay-ups

Time to bring out some zone- we can’t let them blow by us all game with slow rotating help
Outscored them by 12 from 3 and only up 5. The 3 is OSU's game. They start hitting their average and we don't get the basket, we are in trouble.

Per usual like we're going to blow out this team. You rarely do that in this conference. We played a very good first half. They got some help with the fouls but I feel good about this game. Ohio St going to have to play like they did the last 5 minutes of this half for the rest of the game.
This is also very good experience for us with the quick turnaround between games and the quality of opponents.
