2 made baskets at the 2 minute mark.
OSU demonstrates our over guarding leads to easy threes whenever they want them.

OSU is setting a back screen whenn they skip the ball. It's good offense.
NU cannot make an open shot.

It doesn’t help that the refs aren’t calling OSU for charging and gives them fouls when they leap into standing defenders.
But hey, 3 minutes left and we might break 14.

The 34-10 still in the 1st half made me blink to see that it was an OSU-NU basketball
game score, not football 1st half score.
Learn a lot about fans, players and coaches in these kind of games. Every team goes through them.
NU did not quit and go through the motions like last year.
It's only an 8 possession game.

85-15 NU crowd here. They’ve been waiting to explode but have had no opportunity to do so. Man, this place would be an incredible home court if we were ever any good.
We can't keep missing shots at this rate, can we? And duhOSU is making everything. We need to flip the script second half.
Cats tightened up on d a bit and stopped the overhelp that was killing us. We’ll see how it goes.
We will be very offensively challenged all season. It’s not scoring the 80’s in two games that changes that. Audige and Buie are going to be hounded all season. We are not an above 60-a-game team in the conference.
I think they stopped "making everything" after 6 to 8 minutes. I was actually impressed with our defensive effort after that. Along with their inability to find solutions if they were not being able to roll off picks and beat us off the dribble.
