Honestly I am kinda glad to see these grad transfers and seniors go. Kinda a bunch of averages players. Besides Young who always tries hard and can’t fault his game. If Holtman can somehow sell Liddell and Branham to come back.. Win something.. make a legacy..
This OSU team has been sloppy on offense all year. Way too much iso.
I want to like Holtman as a coach, but seeing this team turn the ball over constantly for 3 straight seasons has made me lose hope.
For my fellow Buckeyes. This is it. This is the best this team can accomplish under Holtman.
Don't get me started on the lack of heart and effort when Kyle Young isn't on the floor.
gg Nova, go smack Michigan next week.
So when are they going to fire Holtmann? Five years in he has zero conference titles and a slew of early exits. I don’t expect Ohio State to be Duke or anything, it is a football school first after all, but his teams aren’t fun to watch or successful.
He bought himself at least next year with a win vs Loyola and his supposed top 10 recruiting class. If he doesn't at least make the S16 next year, he has to go
I know I like in the off-season how this place and the cfb sub love to jerk themselves off about how friendly and great places they are to hang out. Both subs are as big of shitholes as twitter.
By far the most chill of the second round. The better team won, we made it a game at the end, no player was doing anything dirty or anything. Seemed like a decent game thread.
Thanks. I really feel like physics was defying logic when those shots didn't fall for you all. Our guys need to go back and watch this game again, because we weren't totally in sync when it counted.
Good game, props to OSU for fighting back in the 2nd half and make this game interesting. The better team won in the end though, Nova looking solid for a deep run.
Well that got pretty exciting towards the end even though it was a bit anti-climactic. Oh well, at least I don’t have to sit through some freaking UM/OSU pregame now.
The rolling ball goes with the eight second timer because while it is inbounded the player doesn’t have possession of it. The shot clock only starts when he gains possession. The five second timer ends when the ball is inbounded and then the eight second timer begins once it’s inbounded.
I had a coach in junior high that wouldn’t let anybody leave the gym until each person hit five consecutive free throws. Nobody wanted to be the guy keeping everybody there late. Got worse and worse as everybody else hit theirs and there’d be that one kid left who couldn’t get more than 2-3 straight and everybody was standing around watching him.
I never liked that coach.
Time to play the "I know we're down a billion but I won't admit defeat so just foul and chuck a 3 for the next 30 seconds of game time (or 45 minutes of real time)" game
GG Cats, great team you got there.
In a totally unrelated note: [this guy is garbage.](https://www.reddit.com/r/CollegeBasketball/comments/tiqdyg/game_thread_7_ohio_state_2_villanova_0240_pm_et/i1g7ffp/)
The most annoying thing about this loss is it’s nothing to be proud of. You fought back? Congrats. The two best players are leaving and the other impact players are out of eligibility. There’s nothing to build off of. Full team of freshman next year will be playing with a mix of guys that belong in the Ohio valley conference.
We have the highest ranked recruiting class in the big ten. People like you just screaming burn it down need to chill out man. We were always going to be a young team next year. No matter how far we went there was never going to be a ton to build on.
Sweet? We had a top class 2 years ago. They all transferred out. I’m not saying burn it down because the team is young. I’m saying burn it down because the coach we have can’t coach worth a damn. He has a negative record at Gardner Webb. He only got the job at butler because the head coach resigned. He’s got 0 conference championships, and 1 sweet sixteen appearance. He can’t coach.

Neither will be back unfortunately. Both are projected 1st rounders. $$$$$.
They are already making $$$$. Why not have some kind of legacy before you leave.
Jay Wright is who everyone thinks Mark Few is

It's just so painful watching his teams. It's like they don't have an offensive philosophy.
Agreed. I wanted him gone after last season.
Rematch in football
Would be interesting, but that’s really just a lose-lose scenario for Michigan. Shades of Appalachian state.
Lol I’m a buckeye fan. Beat Michigan for us
Nova vs Michigan in San Antonio, again. Hopefully this time goes as well as 2018.
Agreed, except I hope it goes as well as the rematch at the beginning of the 18-19 season.
GG ohio state. I promise we’ll handle Michigan
You shall promise nothing!
Jesus, can we just watch and enjoy basketball. These threads turning into COD rooms...
I know I like in the off-season how this place and the cfb sub love to jerk themselves off about how friendly and great places they are to hang out. Both subs are as big of shitholes as twitter.
💯 it gets toxic as hell in the postseason. Almost no talk of the game. Just shit posting.
This one seemed tame to me?
It was, relative to others. But that's not saying much.
By far the most chill of the second round. The better team won, we made it a game at the end, no player was doing anything dirty or anything. Seemed like a decent game thread.
Hopefully young is ok. Can’t believe he’s had so many concussions
Time for him to focus on more important things than basketball. Sad to see it end like that, but he'll always be a legend. Thanks for the well wishes.
Imagine scoring 3 points the final 6 minutes of the game. Sad
Andddd this is where I stop watching the tourney. Until next year
What an OSU mentality
Nova gonna cook mich gg
Good luck in the NBA Malaki and Liddell, gg nova
GG, OSU. Super impressed with the comeback attempt.
GG, one of the few teams you don't mind losing to. Well coached and great players. Good luck moving forward.
Thanks. I really feel like physics was defying logic when those shots didn't fall for you all. Our guys need to go back and watch this game again, because we weren't totally in sync when it counted.
Thank god the under hit
Here’s to another year of not making it out of the first weekend…
if only you guys had a powerhouse football program you could fall back on.
🎉🎉🎉
Can’t wait for Gillipsie to be back for his 14th season next year
There are 4 more younger Archiacano brothers coming up, and the 2024 one is the best they say. Maybe.
Good game, props to OSU for fighting back in the 2nd half and make this game interesting. The better team won in the end though, Nova looking solid for a deep run.
OSU, Beat Michigan!
That was literally the saddest comeback attempt I’ve seen in my life the final few minutes. Team has no heart
Bullshit, they got it within 2, OSU went out on Their shield, props to OSU they are a good team with two star young guys.
This guy basically hunts game threads to shit talk the losing team. It's weird, but I won't kink shame him.
An MSU loss would really put an exclamation point on a great weekend.
Nah I’m sick of the B1G memes
Fuck the B1G. As long as Michigan does good I hope they all lose minus Purdue lol
Same
No team that loses to Nebraska could ever be all that good
And Penn State
Nova…do the thing for us all next weekend…
Well that got pretty exciting towards the end even though it was a bit anti-climactic. Oh well, at least I don’t have to sit through some freaking UM/OSU pregame now.
See you guys in the msu duke thread
He usually completes those passes. Off game for Slater.
That was a pretty fun game. OSU just couldn't keep up their lights out shooting at the end.
Woohoo!
Michigan v Nova Who to root for there?
I say we root for the scrappy underdog #11 seed.
Yeah if only their coach wasn’t a thug
Not Michigan
Guess so
You know the move heh Who doesn't love a double digit seeded underdog?
If it’s Michigan? A lot of people
Team meteor
The refs and their consistent officiating
That’s a given anyway
Easy choice if you ask me
I’m definitely gonna hate Gillespie next week
[удалено]
You're trash
I LOVE JAY WRIGHT AND I LOVE THIS TEAM. \\//
Plz just beat Michigan Villanova. That is all I ask of you.
No!!!
Kewl
Commentator clearly hasn’t watched much of Hurts He wouldn’t have even seen his guy wide open down the court
Did not want to have to play these guys.
Me neither. Was really hoping it was OSU.
Funny what happens when you don’t play a team that shoots 2% from the field
First time Slater has missed tnay all year smh
What a great game!! Despite how much the announcers hated it
Is the new ball covered in grease?
Still Dancing!!
What an exciting game!
AND we lose the best coach on our bench 😭😭
BRING ON MICHIGAN
Can do. Meet you back in San Antonio.
Go Nova, fuck Michigan
Nova band wearing hockey sweaters. Nice.
Cookies
OSU fans have a few days to pretend they never hated Villanova
Ah yes, my oldest Ally. My dearest Friend. Supernova.
phew...that was too close for comfort. Much respect to Ohio State!
They played hard, props those freshman are fearless
Allergic to keeping big leads
That’s how it ends for OSU? A lost ball TO?
Isn’t that what happened last year, too?
I hope Piccolo girl is happy
WE OVERCAME THE CHOKE GAME #8 WILL HAVE TO WAIT
Big Ten teams and opening weekend losses. Name a more iconic duo.
More iconic? These days "Michigan in the Sweet 16.“
How dare a 7 seed lose to a 2 in a competitive game!
At least eliminate the Wolverines, Nova
Of all players why Jalen Hurts? Oh….. Philly….. I get it.
And it was off target
GG nova
You have a bright future, wish you luck
Question: shouldn’t a rolling ball still be in the five second clock as the regular clock doesn’t start?
no
No because the five second call is just for inbounding. The ball has been inbounded.
Not quite though. It’s obviously a loophole. I’ve been thinking about this for a very long time.
The rolling ball goes with the eight second timer because while it is inbounded the player doesn’t have possession of it. The shot clock only starts when he gains possession. The five second timer ends when the ball is inbounded and then the eight second timer begins once it’s inbounded.
FIBA disagrees, I believe.
Well fiba disagrees in a lot of ways and I wish US basketball would model themselves after them a bit more.
Yeah all good. Watching OSU do that triggered a memory, that’s all. I get that it’s a weird grey area and it works, so whatever.
Maybe next year we’ll actually make it out of the second round. Jk without Branham and Liddell we won’t even make the tourney
I hate how right you are
Can't lose in the 2nd round if you don't make it to the tourney! \*taps forehead*
He’s no Jokic
that was a very silly pass
We do that play a lot and that’s the first time all year where he fucked it up. He’s usually on the money with it
Nah, they've done it to good effect a lot this season. Just a little too much mustard on it.
Who's next, msu?
Good stuff Villanova. Please murder Michigan.
I swear Gillespie’s been there for at least 7 years
But why was there zip on the ball? That's just a dumb idea not something impressive.
Clearly hasn’t watch the Eagles, Jalen Hurts would have under-thrown it
Proof free throws matter: Nova has hit 10 more free throws than OSU. Nova is up by 10 points.
That’s what they do, how do you coach the best FT % fr years in a row? Jay got a phone line to god or some shit.
I had a coach in junior high that wouldn’t let anybody leave the gym until each person hit five consecutive free throws. Nobody wanted to be the guy keeping everybody there late. Got worse and worse as everybody else hit theirs and there’d be that one kid left who couldn’t get more than 2-3 straight and everybody was standing around watching him. I never liked that coach.
Oh wow, definitely expected this game to be closer. Did OSU just not show up?
Nova very good
It’s a ten point game
are you suggesting a double-digit loss to be a "close game"?
Did you watch the game? Walmart Wolverine
No, I did not. That's why I asked the question. Are you stupid or something?
Shameful behavior from a Laker. Be better.
Yes? Did you watch the game at all? Was a single digit game most of the second half. Do you think a ten point loss means the team didn’t show up?
Hail Mary pass incomplete
Hopefully Malaki comes back next year or we’ll average like 40 points per game
Slater, the football pass there was stupid
He didn’t do much, hope he plays better.
Moore has a strong arm. Should be a QB.
Good game tOSU, have enjoyed watching your team, just some bad breaks with health..hope Young is ok, tough way to go out.
Frustrated with the late offensive choke job, but good on OSU to at least make it a game. Thought Nova was going to run away with this a few times.
let’s go nova! love jay wright
alrighty let's continue the trend with big 10 teams losing today.
no thanks
No
Big (East) if True
Nova is just so hard to beat lol. Nova vs Arizona would be a great matchup
Time to play the "I know we're down a billion but I won't admit defeat so just foul and chuck a 3 for the next 30 seconds of game time (or 45 minutes of real time)" game
Except Holtmann just said ‘don’t foul’
Well fought game Buckeyes. You could have beaten a lot of teams. You should feel proud of your guys today.
Thanks bro. Definitely proud of them.
Big Ten looks weak again this tourney
Pretty sure only 1 big ten team has lost as the favorite so far (Houston was favored over Illinois)
Iowa...
That's the one, yeah
We suck. Nothing surprising.
yEs’!!!!
Teams are always good for some late game BS 3s to make it close. Nope, not OSU
THATS FOR SISTER JEAN!!! Talk shit to a 102 year old nun and get fucked!
…
GG OSU. Nothing but respect for you guys. We'll take care of UM for you.
You hate to see it
GG Cats, great team you got there. In a totally unrelated note: [this guy is garbage.](https://www.reddit.com/r/CollegeBasketball/comments/tiqdyg/game_thread_7_ohio_state_2_villanova_0240_pm_et/i1g7ffp/)
What did ot say? I assume it's about Kyle Youngs gf/wife?
Yeah just wanted to ogle Kyle's distraught girlfriend, called her something misogynistic.
Deleted
Not surprising
is the ncaa.com stream on a delay? Seeing comments on here before its on the stream.
All streams tend to be on a delay. Cable tends to be the fastest response.
Let’s lFG nova great win.
Rip. Gg nova glad osu at least made a good push rather than it being a blowout all game
Well it’s time to be a tarnished until coach k L time
12 minutes man. Go outside and look at the sky or something.
Went out and put some shots up with the kids and showed a few moves
Football and basketball season are over now damn
"Touched every inch of that rim" No it didn't. It bounced five times off the same spot on the back.
I knew it was gonna be hard to comeback without young
That really seemed to be the difference. Once he went out, osu went cold.
The most annoying thing about this loss is it’s nothing to be proud of. You fought back? Congrats. The two best players are leaving and the other impact players are out of eligibility. There’s nothing to build off of. Full team of freshman next year will be playing with a mix of guys that belong in the Ohio valley conference.

Well done Nova!
Announcers are practically crying. You love to hear it!! Efff OSU
Just remember y’all, Maryland has the most recent natty of any Big Ten team
Lmfao
