Pretty surprising that with all the recruiting advantages dOSU has, the NU bench played 62 minutes to the Bucks 38 and outscored them 23-12. NU played all 8 scholarship players healthy and still outplayed 'em Good stuff.

Barnhizer was terrific. He was our third scorer tonight that we needed. He just knows how to play the game. Getting great experience this year. Martinelli comes in and has a knack for making a couple of baskets. Also playing this year out of necessity with the injuries to Roper and Hunger. The time #2 is getting on the court this year will pay great dividends next year.
TV is playing much better lately and actually played more minutes than Big Matt tonight. Just a great team win.

We have a lot of talent in our 9 man rotation.
Martinelli seems like he has exceptional talent and is held back only by inexperience.
Barnhizer is outplaying Beran and proving the doubters wrong.
Our bench is better than most.

Berry is in the lineup out of habit. Martinelli and Barnhizer are both more deserving of rotation time.

Something missing in his game right now. Not really sure what it is. He was number 2 rebounder on team and now not so much. And then he also had that midrange jumper when his 3 was not falling, After his big output a couple weeks ago against NEB, he has scored all of about 3.5 pts and 3 rebounds a game

What was the height and weight differential between OSU’s 1-3 positions and ours? Might have something to do with it. They have a really athletic group they put on the court…

I agree Barnhizer is playing better the Berry right now as Berry is not shooting well. I do give Berry credit as he still plays good solid D when his offense is struggling. I do love the energy Barnhizer brings coming off the bench.

While Barnhizer played a phenomenal game he didn’t have the height to bother Sueing. Beran was extremely important in defending him. I think keeping Beran out there for his defense and subbing Barnhizer in for Berry when Sueing is out would be ideal.

Off the switches, when left guarding him, Beran created more problems for Sueing than Audige or Barnhizer. I think that's because Sueing was really playing the midrange game. Quickiness on closing out was not as important as making it harder for him to pull up

Yeah he's really dropped off. No idea - maybe hardest hit by COVID. he was really good earlier
