What kinda info you want buddy?

I'm not doing a spread on this game, it's straight up win for OSU or Indiana.

That help?? You want more prop bets?

Usually you do some kind of breakdown on the game, I know this is kinda of a revenge game plus should be a bounce back from last night.

Well, we already saw this match-up on the road. It was New Years Eve so my memory is a bit groggy on the game but I think we were the better team then and I think we're the better team now.


The refs didn't let them play in the first game and made it a battle of the bench players.


Remember last season, after the losses to Wisconsin and Purdue, we got revenge big-time in the 2nd game.


I think we'll see the same thing with Indiana. I like us at home where we've won about 35 straight.


We will see Sully go off against Zeller inside, big-time. If he stays out of foul trouble and the game is fairly tight, I could see Sully going 35+ minutes and putting up a 25/15 game.


We need Shannon Scott and Sam Thompson to come off of the bench and give us a spark. It doesn't necessarily have to be scoring, but hella energy on both ends of the floor. I really want to see Scott get more minutes. He's proven to me that he's a very good player and has the potential to develop into a great player.


At home, I think Matta will go deeper on the bench than he has shown on the road (not counting foul trouble).


Indiana native Deshaun Thomas will look to revenge his underwhelming performance in the first match-up due to foul trouble and poor shooting.


Overall, I like our chances to win by double digits.


Payback is a mother ****er.....


Ohio State 76 | Indiana 65

I would assume we will be sporting these on Sunday since it's such a big game....





.....We've only wore the Gray's for the Florida and Duke games. This game is on that level. Matta and Deshaun are Indiana natives, we'll see how big Matta feels this game is. If we bust out the Gray's, we'll know pay back is coming...

I'm thinking a prop bet on whether or not the grays are worn is in order as well... agreed?

And I say this being about 99.99% damn sure, we see grays and we beat the crap out of Indiana on our court. No "we barely squeaked this out mostly on account of getting some crazily over-active officiating" night for the Hwhoosiers this time around.

Has basketball been huge since Matta has come on board...feel like I miss out on so much not living in Ohio.
