I would think so.

We need to stay focused on the road though.

Nebraska isn't really a hostile environment, but they still need to play hard on both ends of the floor.

Ohio State 83 | Nebraska 57

Ohio State Buckeyes basketball P.M. links: What happens when the 5th guy becomes a scoring option?

Drawing up a game plan for Ohio State doesn't seem so hard. The Buckeyes have four starters who can score, and one who can't, or at least hasn't. You take your five and play their four. You double-team Jared Sullinger close to the basket, you stay in the faces of William Buford, Aaron Craft and Deshaun Thomas. You hope it works out.

What happens when the fifth guy starts scoring?

Indiana found out Sunday. "Lenzelle was averaging four shots a game," Indiana coach Tom Crean said. "You could look it up.''

That's a fact. That Lenzelle Smith Jr. picked Sunday afternoon to take 12 shots, make 10 of them, score 28 points and absolutely wreck the Hoosiers said less about the shortcomings of Indiana than it did about the potential of Ohio State.

Daugherty's story includes this quote:

"They could win the national championship with that," Crean declared. "That's what they had last year. Five guys that could score."

Ohio State is 16-3, 4-2 in the Big Ten after Sunday's win. OSU dropped from fifth to sixth in the AP and USA Today/ESPN Coaches polls, however, due to its 79-74 road loss to the Illinois Fighting Illini (15-3, 4-1) last Tuesday.

Indiana (15-3, 3-3) has dropped to 11th and 13th, respectively, in the AP and Coaches polls, while Illinois has moved up to 22nd and 25th.

The Buckeyes' next game is*on Saturday, when they visit*Nebraska's Cornhuskers*(9-8, 1-5).
Plain Dealer and cleveland.com Ohio State coverage includes Doug Lesmerises' game story on the*Buckeyes' win over the Hoosiers; his Big Ten Basketball Insider; a column by Bill Livingston on Buckeyes backup point guard Shannon Scott and his father, Charles*Scott, the first scholarship African-American player in the Atlantic Coast Conference and a former NBA star; and more.

Damn PhatTony.... trying to break your own bank? You do realize that a clean sweep of your bets will net you a whopping 31,111,082? You're really trying to be the first to have 50+ million credits aren't you? lol.

I'm going for 100 mil, then 1 bil Dawg...

I placed 16 bets of 777,777 on this game.

By the time the time this game gets here, I'll probably be all-in.

Can Nebraska help me regain my credits once again?

I'm thinking yes

Lol, So I'm finally taking your advice and placing wagers on all the same bets you're taking. Since we had already bet along similar lines anyways I've decided to drop 20k on each of those 16.

I'm in for a total of 1,045,000 with a max poss. payout of a little over 2.5 million... let's hope the Buckeyes tear through the Huskers like they did through George Mason in the Tournament last year
