I have to ask this question....did you not expect that?

Another question.....do you not think that's going to happen in EVERY road game left on the schedule?

Yes, it's messed up, but this is just beginning for him. He has to play through it and not try to do too much.

Fair enough… imagine 3,500 people chanting at you about the worst moment of your life on live TV. I’m not arguing whether it’s right or wrong. Honestly it doesn’t matter. I’m just saying let’s not act like any of us could shrug that off. TJ didn’t play great, and I can understand why.

It will be 15,000 plus yelling worse things coming up... This was an appetizer to the crap sandwich that other big ten road teams will serve up.

Such an ugly game. Was waiting for us to take over and it just never really happened. Thought OT would do us good since the superior team should win, right?!

And I’m sorry, but what the hell was the call at the end of regulation? Domask to back someone down? We were tied!! Why wasn’t the call for TSJ to drive and draw the foul?? Make one and win the game.

I like Domask there over TSJ. TSJ still working the rust off.

Brad went to that 5 man switching defense ...

You start having guys do ISO stuff and not what Brad wants ... You get what we had last year ...

Brad needs to take the blame for the defense and make an adjustment going forward ...

He took the blame in the presser. Should be better moving forward … as we all hope. Still, a highly entertaining game.

For the most part I think the staff has made the right moves all year. But tonight, and it's happened a couple of times in other games, it was frustrating clearly seeing Bouie looking for MD or LG to switch to him and then scoring. That happened several times in the first half and there was no adjustment to stick with TJ or Ty on him. Hell, CH probably played the best D against him of anyone all night. Hopefully a learning experience for our team, but we struggle with quick guards like him mightily.

We did pretty well to stay in the game with what we endured throughout this game. I still hate losing. I would rather see our coaching staff get a technical than to just sit back and watch the moving screens all game. You know the assistant coaches are telling him. You can’t tell me Brad doesn’t see it. All coaches see it and he obviously just wanted our players to deal with it. That will wear on you as a defender too. You try to fight through 100 moving screens and see if you have any legs left at the end of the game.

Northwestern @ home against OSU on Saturday.. 30% from 3, 41% from 2 and a close game that ends in a loss.. I bet my beach house on it... And we watch the game thinking, what the heck is this trash, how did we lose to them?
