Noon ET Saturday on Big Ten Network.
Buckeye coach Chris Holtmann:
"Ten days (between games) is a long time,†he said. “We play a very good Bucknell team that won 25 games last year and almost beat Michigan State the year before. Been to the NCAA Tournament in back-to-back years. They’re very good.
"You’re always concerned about this layoff and bringing your kids back. Conditioning, how sharp will you be; there will be some rust we’ll have to shake off. (Tuesday) we’re going to play an extended scrimmage, because we’re off on Wednesday. Try to get our guys back sharper. We were a little bit better (Monday) than we were (Sunday). We were not very good (Sunday). Some of it is the fatigue with finals and studying – at least I hope that was the reason. We try to give them adequate rest but at the same time keep them sharp and ready to go for noon on Saturday."

With both teams coming off a long break, both teams should be a bit rusty.

Pretty nice. It is the 1-3 record at home with an ugly loss and several ugly performances that balance out that good work on the road.

Coach Davis made his first appearance of the season on the Stave Jones Show yesterday
http://stevejonesshow.com/podcast-new/
Meeks likely to be ready for some minutes against OSU, a bit ahead of earlier expectations
asked about the slow starts, said they have a few theories, have changed the way they are practicing hoping that will help get them off to better starts.
other than Fairfield game, thinks the team has showed improvement each game.

Looks like the Buckeye fans are completely dismissing the Bison. They are focused on UCLA which I guess is their next game. They are expecting a 20+ point win over the Bison.

In fact the Bucknell thread on their board does not even mention us by name, and there was no discussion of the game other than the “ should win by 20†comment at least as of last night. We can only hope the players feel the same way.

63, I could not agree more.
Let's hope that Sestina can stay out of foul trouble and that our guards are hitting 3-pointers.

Great 1st half. Thought OSU would have to cool off at some point.

Always nice seeing brw, no matter whether in arena or on the screen as I watch from home.
Good 1st half.

Sorry, but Nate commits a lot of dumb fouls. Just got his 5th on a horrible screen where he obviously turned his body. Not smart. And a minute later a dumb reach in foul 27’ from the basket by Moore.

Proud of the way the team fought until the end, disappointing we couldn’t get a clean shot off at the end.

In response to Bucknellbisonfan21
Yes it was a valiant effort. I knew the hot 3-pt shooting wouldn’t last in the second half, but the Bison almost pulled it off anyway. Ohio State made mistakes as well and both teams looked a little ragged at times, but overall a good showing by Bucknell. The last possession was disappointing, once Sotos, I believe, started driving the right side to nowhere, I knew it wouldn’t end well. Nice to see Meeks back out there. I would’ve liked to see how things played out of Nate was able to stay on the floor more often. It’s just something he’ll have to figure out.

Hell of an effort. This should build some nice confidence for the younger guys on the team.
