Excited for college hoops.

I believe that this is the first time ever that I've been more excited for Buckeyes men's hoops team than I have been for the football team.

Pre-season rank #3.
The first game is against Wright State on Nov. 11th then host Florida on the 15th.
Can't wait!!!

Ohio State is the forgotten championship contender

don't you guys return just about everyone, sir???

yet the media seems to forget that Ohio State dominated the season right up until the tournament.

I hope Ohio State has a good year, as long as they dont eliminate us. I read Mark Titus' blogs and its been hard to root against them since.

They lost their 3-pt. specialist in Diebler but they do return a bunch of talent. Buford is their only senior this season. He and Sullinger will definitely be the leaders of this team.

I like Aaron Craft too. An excellent former QB turned PG. Only entering his SO season.

I was thinking you lost one good player, not sure though.

yeah Ohio State is much more of a championship contender then people seem to think, this might just be Matta's best team based on talent and experience.

Those should never be in the same sentence. I kid, actually, but I do think they had the best team in the country last year and found a way to fuck it up. This year they're probably second best, and it'll be interesting to see if they can play like it in March.

I fully expect them to run away with the B1G. We're considered the #2 team and we have no depth. OSU has one of the conference's two superstars (Sullinger, the other being JT), but they're also deep. I won't be stunned at all if they run the table during the regular season (I honestly don't see anyone on that schedule beating them outside of us at the Kohl Center).

Im looking forward to the Wisconsin-UNC game. If Wisconsin can slow the pace down and get get looks they have a great chance of pulling the upset. I hope we get a good game out of it.

Agree. Diebler was the man we could count on for the 3 pointer. This team is still loaded and ready to roll the Big 10.
