I fear right now it is "Hey, let's stand around and watch EJ Liddell play." I know Sueing just came back from an injury and Kyle Young is now back from a vestibular dysfunction but we need a few more people to step up and be a threat.

Was at the game Monday , No wonder they call BGSU a Hockey School because their MBB team is terrible.
Buckeye's have Xavier tomorrow night at 6:30 then Seton Hall and Duke.
Versus Duke the only thing they have going for them is Duke has #1 Gonzaga a day or 2 before. And they might catch them mentally down for the first half.

Wasn't Puke's best player just arrested for DUI with Coach K's grandson? He might be out for your game.

Wait, didn't you post earlier they were supposed to be better than Akron? But since we blew them out, now they're a crao team? You seem awfully negative about this year's team, brutha?
I still see them as a top 10-15 team. At least, they should be, on paper.

I doubt he will sit out Banchero for a big game.

I still see them as a top 10-15 team. At least, they should be, on paper. I was going off MAC Preseason BB predictions. They had Buffalo and Ohio U as both Tier 1 Teams out of 4 Tiers . Then had Akron and BGSU in Tier 2 . First tier NCAA caliber , 2nd Tier NIT bound most likely. Had BGSU #3 in the league overall.Â
Then i watched them personally from about 10 rows up on the main floor. Terrible is being kind. They shot a little over 20% from the field.Â
Suing will probably miss most of the season if not all of it. OSU guard play is suspect from a offensive stand point. Other than Aherns who is a one trick pony they have no real consistent 3pt shooter from beyond the arc.Â
I see their ceiling at 20-10 and could see 18-12 or 19-11.Â
But the Big Ten as a whole is on a off year. Maybe Michigan or Purdue as Elite 8 Teams.Â
They are 0-4 so far in the Big East Challenge as a Conference this week.Â
So i see a lot of up and downs in the Conference season. If the frosh #22 comes on strong and they find some 3 point shooting they could hang in the Top 6 perhaps of the Conference.

I mean they have pretty much their entire roster back from last year, except for DWash, who sucked (very, very low basketball IQ). So projecting them to not at least be as good as last year's team seems odd to me. Almost like a post I would expect from a hater like lrrps. Now Sueing going down would be a big blow. What is his injury?

What is his injury? CJ Walker is also a loss. As is, as you say, Sueing going down, rumors are he's done. And Jallow is a loss, at least on the defensive end.
No longer GroupThink 'woke'. but it was fun while it lasted.

What is his injury? They didn't give all the medical information, but sounds like it might be nerve issues around the groin area. Monday he got to the game around halftime and they said he was at the Cleveland Clinic all day.
They also lost CJ Walker a double figure scorer from the backcourt and 2 transfers off last years team. Musa
Jallow being one who at times showed potential but other times a waste of a scholarship.Â
None of this years transfers bring any Offense.

I doubt he will sit out Banchero for a big game. Agree especially after reading Koach Krooks statement. Never understand why these guys never get a underage drinking charge.
