Did OSU just get called for a foul for going over the back of their own guy?

Gotta respect the box out

At first it was looking like a Sparty football game, but they seem to be rounding into form.  I don't think OSU can sustain enough offense to stay in it though.

Without Langford I'm not convinced MSU has enough offense, but more critically, they are giving OSUs guards too many good looks.

MSU FT shooting is an embarrassment

This would be bigger if OSU's guards could shoot straight

That might have been the awkwardest fast break three I've ever seen

Yeah MSUs backcourt is burned.  You can see one team coming off a bye week, and the other on short rest down their starting shooting guard.  Honestly I'd rather them not continue to try to play Winston and McQuaid extra minutes, just chalk this one up as a loss, and don't let them be too tired to play Purdue on short rest on Tuesday.  Road wins are always stolen, so you can't afford to let this cost you a home win.

36 points is fine.  Figured defense was going to take a hit, but good Lord.  Giving up 43?  Wide open looks almost every possession.  Unguarded threes, uncovered back doors.  Garbage defense.

Wesson and Ward are as advertised

[ELA]

I'm not sure OSU has had to shoot a contested three yet

[MaximumSam]

Ouch

[ELA]

Have to separate ball from man, Day would take that guy as a DB right now.

[ELA]

Wesson scoring like Karl Malone, passing like my 3 year old son, yet we still aren't doubling and forcing him to find the open man.  He looks exactly like Nick Ward last year.

[ELA]

Refs calling all kinds of weak sauce in this second half.  Lame way for Wesson to pick up a 4th
