Our big win out the window?

Obviously the win won't look as good if OSU doesn't end up having a good season. But it is a road win against a team that is in line for the NCAA tournament even if they lose tonight. Also maybe Minnesota is better than most are giving them credit for.

I'll tell you what the Hawks need to do, go out and kill MN on Sunday. I don't care who they are.

Besides from what I gather, MN played bad but OSU played their worst game in a few years now.

I only saw the last 10 minutes. OSU looked absolutely lost on offense and struggled to rebound. Minnesota wasn't impressive either. My only worry about them is getting them on a hot shooting day.
 
Any road wins vs. the top half of the bigten are huge. It is very hard to win away from home against decent teams.
 
This win by the Gophers should certainly get our guys attention and they should realize that they need to show up and get a big home win.

I'm sorry, I can't stand it. If Minny beats us at home, ok, it's a bad loss. If we beat them, we should. Minny beat osu at home. I assume we all know we're playing in the big ten still. Not a surprise. If Minny beats osu on their turf, color me impressed.
 
MN has two big boys in the middle. OSU has been exposed inside. IA will match up well with MN inside but they can't match IA wings. The guard play should favor IA at home. I think IA wins it close but I would rather see a blow out.
 
I'm not too concerned.

If we can win Sunday, we'll have another opportunity to win on the road against mich and the I believe we have another winnable game.

So if we could win the next 3 we'll have another nice road win and 2 more weeks of rankings and will be a top 10 team with maybe not a great win but 2 good road wins.
 
I absolutely wanted Minnesota to win. Ohio State is the better team IMO and has 3 likely wins in their next 3 games putting them at 5-3...rather than 6-2.

This Ohio State team has challenges on offense. Craft has always been able to facilitate due to the talent on Ohio State's roster. They are playing 4 on 5 much of the time and can't get away with it this year IMO.
