Traber sums it up best about Okie Lite Basketball

This is a BAD loss!!!! OSU B-ball becoming a joke. Think alot of the fans are gonna come back?? A Shame!

Ouch!!!

First loss of the year for OSU that I think they should have won. Losing Brown and Olukemi to injury for the entire 2nd half killed them. Played essentially 5 guys the last 15 minutes or so.

After losing 2 PG's in a week, Ford is going to have to work miracles not to finish 10-20 and lose his job.

I hope they don't fire him. He blows.

 

[CarlWeathers]

its rare someone gets fired after one bad season, especially when your picked 7th preseason. Definitely setting records in terribleness though.

His teams have gotten worse every year.

In this article http://newsok.com/osu-mens-basketball-cowboys-fall-to-virginia-tech-67-61/article/3636662, ford says that va tech is a team that could win the big 12. Now I'm not a b-ball expert, but I watched some of that game and I didn' think va tech was THAT good.

You're right, that's what he said. :facepalm Had to read it to make myself believe it.

Here's the quote:

“Virginia Tech is a team that could win our league, no question about it,” Ford said.

Ford is just trying to make their loss more palatable for OSU fans. I watched the game. V-Tech is a decent team, but there is no way they could win the Big 12. Middle of the pack at best.

Well, JT sure would know a joke! He's the poster child!!!

What were their injuries?

 

[HoHum]

Brown hurt his hip, and Olukemi messed up his knee pretty good, from the looks of it.

It is lucky that osu doesn't have L's to USA and smu

So as of right now, these are the guys Ford will be throwing out there.

PG - Guerrero - Freshman
SG - Page - Senior
SF - Williams - Freshman
SF - Nash - Freshman
C - Jurrick - Junior

Bench

Cobbins
7-foot European

Thats it. They were bad before the two PG's left and the two wings got injured, but at least they had depth. They better hope they get Brown/Olukemi back for their home opener against Tech or they could be looking at a 2-16 type season. Home against Tech is their easiest game.
