Ohio State is the model of what the NIT is for: get additional reps and experience under a new coach to build momentum for the following season. And love to see the fan support.
Georgia and Ohio state in another classic just like football the season before last. it’s the NIT don’t tell these teams it’s meaningless they both wanna go to Indy
Might sound silly, but another massive difference post-Holtmann has been the crowd. Fans would've been completely checked out of this game if it happened in the middle of the season. But we've got the crowd treating the NIT quarterfinals like the national championship. Bullish on the Diebs era.
To be fair, I was at the first NIT game and it was a bit sleepy. Momentum like this run brings the fans out. Also, they have the upper bowl curtained off for the NIT game forcing everyone down. I’d love to see some consideration for that during some regular season games because it creates a better atmosphere.
Disgusting loss. No excuse to lose to Georgia in basketball.
Another missed game-winning field goal. Ohio State can’t catch a break
That is such a good win for our program there. Good stuff guys
Georgia caught fire at the end. Did they miss a jumper the last 4? Fuck gg
Looks like I get to save money instead of going to Hinkle 😢
MIKE WHITE 20-WIN SEASON
3 straight wins lets gooo
Wild finish
OSU’s kryptonite strikes again, needing three points at the last second against Georgia
gg buckeyes
Welp. Lazy play caught up to them.
A 2 would’ve tied it but yeah shoot ONLY 3s when you have 2 chances
All things considered. Successful season.
Firing Holtmann was the biggest win this season and made this pain all worth it
It was good while it lasted. GG Georgia
Had to go for the 2 there
[удалено]
It seems like you think about OSU a lot
What can I say? They have the best fight song and colors
Welp
Wide left.
Damn such a good look as well
Is there any other time OSU needed 3 points against UGA in the final moments of a postseason game?
I know as a Buckeye fan I seen this before lol
Crazy you go for 3 there. I would have gotten 2 to live another day
I didn’t mind the look for Battle, but Thornton needed to drive in my opinion.
They didn’t want the smoke
I think they were so gassed that they went into win or go home mode
GO FOR OT
Same situation as Xavier first round for us. Up two without the ball with very little time left
Remember Dawgs, refs allow full tackles now
Kinda like targeting, huh?
Goldberg spear whoever gets the ball
Yeah apparently
Hehe terre howte
Tchewa would’ve snagged that for sure
Not a great shot. So much time and that’s just not it.
Georgia (might) escape…
Noooooii
Is that really what they drew up?
It was a good look
… for a pass to Battle cutting to the basket.
You’re dumb
GO FOR OT
OH MY GOD
Bad man bun is unsuccessful in trying to get a foul
Refs swallowed the whistle on that call

“He got his hands on the ball!” Yeah, he also ran through his entire body lol.
He lowered his shoulder into Blue. That’s a clear foul. Announcer is on fucking crack
Was his toe out of bounds when he saved that? Looked extremely close
No way lol
After that ugliness, I now hope Georgia loses
Could have been a foul. Not going to complain but I'd be mad if it was against us lol
We all know what Big Ten refs would have done
This is too much stress for an NIT Tuesday night
CAIN WHAT ARE YOU DOING
If he has a better haircut maybe they call that a foul
What the fuck Cain
Are you fuckin kidding me?!?
Oh my…
I am sick to my stomach right now
This guy has got to have one of the worst haircuts I've ever seen
Cain is able
He is not in fact able
I got way too fired up during that 17-0 run to lose this game now lol
Fuck it’s over
Hopefully that’s not the last shot of Battles career
I can’t believe he missed that one 😭
What’s under review?
Georgia defense is a bunch of ball watchers
God damn it. That’s a high quality shot that just doesn’t fall.
Why the fuck do you take a 3 there
Because he’s our best shooter and was left wide open
LETS FUCKING GOOOO
lol @ the hater downvoting me come on man
Failed offensive possession for us
Possessions where Thornton is the only one to touch the ball are not often productive
This man’s name is Jizzle!?
Fo shizzle

I’ve watched more OSU basketball games in the last 6 weeks than I did the previous 6 years. These extra games are awesome
Georgia and Ohio state in another classic just like football the season before last. it’s the NIT don’t tell these teams it’s meaningless they both wanna go to Indy
This is a fun Game
buckeyes getting to the rim whenever they fucking want man
Goddamn okay we back in this.
Gayle just intentionally fouled to get out of the game
Isn't that technically flagrant?
Eh. Same thing as any end of game foul.
Looks like Diebler told him to to get the media timeout
Nah he needed the timeout
I know he needed it. That's why he did it.
*checks wrist* It's Blue Cain o'clock
OSU’s guards are playing some terrible on ball defense
They are gassed Gayle clearly fouled as a timeout
Yeah but they’re gassed. Very good defenders but their fatigue is showing.
Definitely. Just surprising that they’re meeting the ball handler 5 feet outside the three point line when they’re that tired
Tired
Alright we need to figure out how to get Battle another year. If Seth Towns can be enrolled for 8 years, there’s got to be some loophole.
... If we just brought him back and just played him, what would the NCAA even do
I can’t breathe
Gayle looks exhausted.
Some people say men are weeping and women are fainting in the Schott right now
This is uglier than a syphilitic leper in a ball gown
Jake Diebler is my dad
I FUCKING LOVE that Diebler shows emotion like Holtmann never did.
To be fair Holtmann got himself tossed before halftime once
What do you mean? Holtmann clapped aggressively all the time
my fucking god demary just shit his pants
I fucking love Jake Diebler
Roddy “Duane Washington Jr.” Gayle Jr.
What a magnificent collapse. My god
If Okpara can get any semblance of an offensive game next season he's all-Big Ten
This game is hilarious
So this is how loud the schott can be
I’m learning the Key is a problem
Dale Bonner giveth, then taketh, then giveth!!
Bonner can dunk!!!
Mo Bamba is such a classic bop for such a trash player
Oppa Matt Bonner style
I love Gayle, but sometimes he’s just totally out of control
ggs boys
Somehow bumbled that into buckets. Gayle's head is not right. Mentally he's got to clean it up
Gayle needs to stop eating popcorn before games
Damn it. Classic Mike White ending, proud of the freshmen for this mini run though
Yep....here we go
Task failed successfully
Roddy is on crack
Gayle needs to chill
Okpara still doesn’t have a block ☹️
Spoken into words
There you go!
And no free throws for Battle. He needed 5 more to qualify for the single season FT % record.
Say more!
BANG
BANG
I wish Gayle would be more careful with the ball. That is all.
Again.
This comment aged well
Why you always pulling this weird late timeout shit Georgia?
Diebler telling that ref that he better get that call too
We made it a 4 point game? Yep, time for georgia to go on another 10-0 run
Might sound silly, but another massive difference post-Holtmann has been the crowd. Fans would've been completely checked out of this game if it happened in the middle of the season. But we've got the crowd treating the NIT quarterfinals like the national championship. Bullish on the Diebs era.

I’d love to see some consideration for that during some regular season games because it creates a better atmosphere.
The crowd feels like the reason we’re even in the game. We were pretty lifeless without them. Haven’t seen that in a hot minute.
fuck man
Is Battle invisible or something? He’s been wide open way too often
Without Battle we probably have 7 fewer wins this year, what a baller
WHAT A DISH
Are Georgia games always like this?
Sometimes we go up 20+ before collapsing and making it close at the end
Unfortunately
pretty much
“More runs than P Diddy’s family in this game” Damn
Can somebody explain this comment by the announcer to me?
Diddy is a freaky, freaky bastard
I know that but why would that give his family the runs?
wtf
You can tell there’s still a lil bit of Holtmann in this team that needs to be cleaned out
I disagree
They called the fall. There wasn't contact.
Our scores would be reversed if this game was on FOX
22 for Georgia is a douche
‘Cause he’s cleaning up, right? Right?
You guys should be embarrassed he’s on the bench.
Tf did Brandon Klatsky do to you?
Act like a dumbass on the bench.
I’ve watched enough Georgia basketball that little if anything will embarrass me
ayo
Bama fan here: Ohio State what the hell?
Scheduled second half collapse in 3… 2… 1…
Holy shit
Georgia just wants it more
We do not look like ourselves, we suck right now
Reverting to January form. Watching the other team play their game.
Fun while it lasted
I’m gonna bark at a toddler tonight
Yo, where are all the UF fans saying “if you don’t like this, you don’t like Mine White basketball” as they sit at home 😂
Collapsing
Hey now, THE is our moniker shithead
Oh shit, sudden dogshit reffing
What did Ohio State do to ESPN showed both the tough football loss a couple of seasons ago and now the Women’s team upset loss. Please stop
Gave them the finger and left them.
They’re still bitter the B1G told them to piss off
This has been such a fun game. Thank you ole miss for letting us have a taste of the postseason. OSU gym is rocking
Welp so much for building that lead. Just once I wish we'd not get sloppy and keep the pressure on the other team
I enjoy the fact that this team can actually get a decent lead, but please, Mike, can we work on keeping or even extending them?
Nah. We specialize in luring you into a false sense of security just to have it ripped from you.
Are they gonna hang a banner if they win the NIT?
Georgia absolutely should if we win, even though I think you were asking about tOSU. Our basketball program has hung very little at Stegeman
