Buckeyes' last 5 visits to Williams Arena

[SelectionSunday]

2009-10: Gophers 73-62
2008-09: Gophers 68-59
2007-08: Gophers 71-57
2006-07: Buckeyes 85-67
2004-05: Gophers 52-50

In fairness, the only loss was the Oden-Conley national runner-up season, but then again 2006-07 was one of the worst teams in Gopher history.

Good point. Let's do it. I want to see That Matta actually turn purple on Sunday.

We have played them well at the Barn recently, and part of the reason I think we have a good shot. Man I wish we had Nolen, I'd feel really good about our chances. This is gonna have to be a grind it out game I think. I don't think we'll have to worry about them coming out flat for this one at least.

BUT TURNER DIDN'T PLAY LAST YEAR AT THE BARN!!!!!

It's possible, but I hope not. The 49-possession Northwestern game is about all I can handle watching this year.

Then tell your boys to tone down the smothering defense a bit so that the teams can get a little running and gunning in!

Not sure what the sarcasm refers to, but Evan Turner did play at the Barn last year. He wasn't 100 percent yet, but he played quite well.

 

[SelectionSunday]

I believe Nort is referring to the fact that Clark Kellogg said on national TV that Turner didn't play in the game in Minneapolis, when in fact it was Turner's second game back.

 

[Ope3]

Oh yeah, during BTT Title game.

 

[Nort73]

Yup, and I was also referring to many OSU fans who I've seen post on forums saying he didn't play in that game.

I remember fondly Turner playing because his emotions got the better of him, and I think the taunting from the students got to him a bit. Didn't have a great game IIRC.

He seemed to be VERY bothered by Al. He lost his contacts at least 3 times. Al was being as physical as the refs would allow with him and it was driving Turner insane.

He put up 19 pts on 56% shooting, 8 Reb, 7 Assists, 4 Steals and 2 blocks. Some 'off' game.

Haha, I remember his whole losing his contacts bit. How many times can that seriously happen?

Not saying he didn't play well, but he was clearly getting very frustrated with how MN was playing him on defense. He was getting beat up out there.
