??? OSU finished 8-12 in the Big Ten. If we're a 6, this is the best possible 11 we could possibly get...

My wife just issued a dictate: "Destroy Ohio State". Please do this so I have a happy household. Please!
Conditt showed he can give good minutes.
Do the same thing to Wesson as to Lawson, and we're fine.
Also, have THT/Wigginton drive a ton, and Wesson will be in foul trouble.
Why is it that teams in the Big 10 need to practice spelling their state names? Heck, Iowa has to use flags to help them do it...
You need to go to Tulsa and drink, heavily. Worked out pretty well for the Big 12 Tournament.
You damn kids and your made up words.
I could see also doing what Prohm did in the late stages of the Purdue game with Burton and putting Shayok on him and forcing him to guard all the way to the perimeter. Sure fire way to get him in early foul trouble.
I’ve been struggling with typing today. I’m thinking I may have had a stroke.
That is a great question. Have no idea why, just remember being taught OH-IO at a very young age. Does other teams do it also?
Run his ass off the court. Looking over season results they don't seem to be able to slow teams with an offense.
Or just look at it the other way around. In 30 games played this year, Kaleb Wesson has fouled out 6 times and has gotten to 4 fouls another 8 times. In other words, he's been in foul trouble at a minimum nearly half of all games this year. Their game plan should be getting him out of the game. Ohio State is 3-7 in Big 10 play when Wesson had 4 fouls or fouled out. They also got smoked by Northwestern when he didn't play - losing by 18.
If ISU can get penetration inside and can get him into early foul trouble, this game should be very winnable.
And yet, he's only gotten into double digits rebounding in 5 of his 30 games this year. And yet, he only got 4 rebounds against High Point when he was matched up with a guy 2 inches shorter and 55 pounds lighter than him. That same guy for High Point got 8 rebounds against him. Rebounding has to do with more than just height. Position, timing, ability to box out, etc is everything. Also, if ISU plays good enough D and forces OSU to take a lot of outside shots, then there could be a lot of long rebounds where he's not even a factor.
Comparing to Lawson is ridiculous. Lawson was in double digits for rebounding 20 times this year versus 5 for Wesson.

Announcers will have a hell of a time. "Iohia State versus Ohwa State" Brace yourself.
You're making my blood boil a little.
