An incredible 11-14 from three kept MHerd's team in it before the seven footer took over in the second half. I hope that Howard heads to the NBA and takes Dickinson with him, but know that Howard won't want to leave the No. 1 recruiting class behind.
Props to MHerd's Team

That's a classy post.
Thought the game could go either way, right up until the final 90 seconds or so.
I just kept thinking that win or lose, neither team was going to hurt themselves on the national level, due to the way they both play.
Dickenson is always a 2nd half player, as I said last week. Just seems to put it into another gear in the 2nd half. Will be interesting to see how he performs against Garza on Thursday. Hopefully Michigan just lets him get his, and shuts down their 3 point shooters.
Illinois seems to be playing extremely well so that should be another tough game next week.

What was most impressive to me was Dickinson's touch at the charity stripe. You almost never see a seven-foot freshman swish free throw after free throw. If it were 2010, then you'd be watching Dickinson's only college season, as he undoubtedly would have been a high lottery pick. In today's NBA, even seven footers are expected to shoot from distance, so me might return to school to work on his perimeter game. The two transfers killed Ohio State in the First Half, as Ohio State played great offensively for the first 20 minutes, but those guys' unconscious shooting from distance prevented the Buckeyes from building a nice lead.
dont you think that the refs took "let them play" really literally today....both ways?..what I watched in the second half was a war
a war? That's just B1G basketball. I think officials called a good game, and there really wasn't many fouls, except for in the closing minute when OSU was forced to do so.
Game could have gone either way, but unfortunately for OSU, that bad turnover in crunch time ended up a difference maker. Think they were down three or four, and not only turned it over, but also fouled Livers on the layup. That was a 5-6 point swing in basically a one possession game.
I personally agree with the let them play thing......I also think the Big 12 has the worst officials in football and basketball......I feel sorry for the bowl participants whose games are officiated by them...terribly inconsistent
Literally!he mad because Ott and the herd got mauled last time they met
You're right, Coach. However, whenever crying about officiating is brought up in a thread, minds understandably wander toward the "Hall of Fame Coach" who blames officials after most losses, and says that WVU never gets a favorable whistle. It's one reason that I don't like the guy.
Hall of Fame Coach?
I don’t follow Ohio State or Michigan, but I don’t remember any former HOF Wolverine or Buckeye coach mentioned.

if you'll notice this year he is not doing a lot of official blaming (other than during the game, when every coach does it)...most of the time he blames the piss poor defense, especially on drives
it's called big boy basketball...unlike the league that marshla plays in
That's why I put quotation marks around the words, Hall of Fame Coach. As you know, many WVU fans and media fan boys refer to tHuggs as a "Hall of Fame Coach," even though he's not been enshrined in the Hall of Fame to date. I put this in the same category as, "undefeated season," which many of the same people say when describing the 1988-1989 and 1993-94 WVU football teams, each of which lost its last, and most meaningful, game of the season.
Technically, you leave off 89 and they were.
The previous season was a 2 point loss in the Sun Bowl on Christmas Day 87. So all games played in 88, WVU was undefeated.
Too bad it doesn’t work that way.

A couple of his favorite things to do is cry about poor Derek Culver's getting beaten up under the basket, but the officials doing nothing about it, and allegedly not knowing what a foul is, which is code for that he's been told what will get called as a foul, but the officials aren't calling the game consistently with what he has been told. He still cries about the zebras, but you've likely heard it so often that you're immune to it at this point. The free throw disparity that WVU has enjoyed for much of this season should serve to shut his mouth, but it hasn't done so.
The media fan boys and delusional fans (not you), love to say, "the undefeated 1988 team," but most of us living in the real world know that the WVU team that played in the 1988 season also played on 1/1/89, and that loss counts "bigly" in its record. I wouldn't quibble with the homers saying, "the 1988 team that was undefeated during the regular season," as this would be factually true--albeit hollow--but true old gold and blue homers don't add the necessary qualifier because they are delusional.
For the love of God you morons would whine about anything. You know why? From top to bottom your program and fanbase are born losers.
