That IS a "hot take". You have no idea how the Big Ten would defend Obranor. Every 3-pointer Liddell took in the Big Ten he was wide open, A FACT and he made 33%. Why would Obranor shoot 3-pointers when he was closely defended?? Obranor made 47%. I made no claim on the number of 3-pointers made, just the efficiency. The FACT is when both of them shot 3-pointers Obranor made a MUCH higher % than Liddell. Why is it more difficult to make Free Throws in the Big Ten?? Obranor made 88%, Liddell made 75%. Obranor is more skilled. This is still a hot take by you, claiming they had two players better than anyone on Ohio State’s roster. That’s a hot take based on you watching one game. I did not say anything about free throws being harder in the big ten if you read my post again, I only spoke about 3 pointers. There’s a reason that guy is at OR and Liddell is at Ohio State. NO, this is a no take by you. I prefer to have a 6-8 forward who can make 47% of his 3-pointers and 88% of his Free throws on the SEASON over a 6-6 Forward who makes 33% and 75%. I didn't say it wasn't close, but Obranor is more skilled. I doubt there is anyone in all honestly that would take Walker over Abmas. Abmas is quicker, a MUCH better shooter and runs the show very well for a Soph compared to a 5th year Senior. Who will be better next year at the point, Abmas or Meechie? There is a reason why there are dozens of players in the country every year that are overlooked by power conference schools and end up in the NBA.

NO, you can’t read. THIS is a hot take based on one game. NO one would take the guy from OR over Liddell for a whole season. You’re basing all of this on one game watched and suddenly you’re an expert on them. YOU are wrong on this.
For everyone else, did I do the capitalizing thing right? I figured since WF is always capitalizing random words that maybe I’d try it too.

No, DID NOT make my statement based on one game. I did more than watch one game....did you? Not claiming to be an expert, when one makes that statement it means they feel they are more so. I wondered if what we saw in one game was a mirage or more than that. So I did some research and found there was more to it than one game. Did you bother, to do more than watch one game before claiming "hot takes". That is why I gave SEASON stats for both players. AGAIN it's close, but I have my preference. Is one allowed to have a differing opinion than Ron Burgandy?

Are you really claiming that you watched Oral Roberts play several games this year?
Your original statement was “oral Roberts has two players better than any player on Ohio States roster”. That is a hot take. That is not a true statement in any way. I don’t care what their season averages are, their conference they’re in helps them get those averages.

Ohio State needs an intimidator, an enforcer, a bully under the bucket, with an attitude. A big, physical go to guy on the low block, when you need a critical rebound and putback or bucket. Someone who can neutralize the big, strong 6-10 to 7 footers that everyone else seems to have in this league.

People worry to much what they don’t have than what they do have. Which one of you sent death threats to Liddell?

I just can't get past the shot selection on the last play in regulation with the score tied. Was this the Holtman play call or did DWash do this on his own?
Classic def of settling for a very low % shot for a guy who has been cold as ice from 3 .

I feel like Washington did it on his own. I can’t imagine Holtmann cared for that too much but unfortunately that’s what you have to live with with Washington.

Just read that Thad Matta and Indiana had an agreement for him to be their next coach but he failed their physical. Wow.

Can we get a fact checker on that. Even 25,000 would be incredible. I think it's probably 2,500....now that sounds feasible.

I just read that Indiana “zeroed in” on Chris Holtmann for their opening this week but he turned them down. Why would he leave Ohio State for Indiana? That move doesn’t even make sense.

He told them no. Right now, it's a lateral move at best. UK would be a move up,,regardless of what their record was these past couple years. Like someone else said elsewhere----IND basketball is MICH football in 2021---has beens until they prove otherwise.

Indiana hires Mike Woodson as basketball coach AND Thad Mtta as associate athletic director for the basketball program, Looks like Ron may have been correct on the Matta failing physical story

Just saw that too. I wonder how this will all shake out as Ohio State needs a big man badly.
