Should’ve ranked Nova

Step one of Operation: Get Bruce Thorton to March Madness has been completed with a dominant, never in doubt home win over one of the hottest teams in the country

Ohio state should be ranked. After almost beat UVA and now taking down Wisconsin I’ve basically seen enough.

Devin Royal haters gotta be quiet after this one. Nearly a triple-double for Thornton. He wants to go dancing more than anybody in the country. Get 1 on the 2 game swing coming up and they’ll be in position.

Bowling Green, OH

i remember watching this after that msu game pissed me off so much

@underwoodforheisman

Wisconsin, you had one job

@evanlovessports

Typical Wisconsin losing right away when ranked. Honestly pitiful if im being quite honest. Bruce Thornton and Devin Royal we’re amazing for OSU.

This was a bad day for ranked teams

That was fun I guess

Ohio State gets a MASSIVE win at home over #24 Wisconsin, 85-69! Bruce Thornton, the man of the night, with 27 points, 8 rebounds & 9 assists. Devin Royal added 25 points as well. OSU was shooting 54.4% from the field and 52.4% from three, HUGE bubble win.

It certainly wasn’t Wisconsin’s night shooting the ball.

Interesting...right after being ranked, Wisconsin loses by 17 at Ohio State. Another unranked win... Both these teams could be in it in March.

I genuinely believe Ohio State can make a run and win the Big Ten tournament if they play their best ball. Problem is that doesn’t happen often enough. Bruce Thornton is one of the best players in the country, and I won’t be convinced otherwise.

Bruce Thornton put the Buckeyes on his back scoring 27 with 9 and 8 out dueling the Badger guards Ohio State lead by as much as 20 and had Devin Royal go for 25 and 5 as well
