Dribbles & Scribbles
-- If he's not already there, Ohio State head coach Jake Diebler is entering "hot seat" territory. The Buckeyes are 0-2 at home in the Big Ten (vs. Illinois, Nebraska) and already have the look of a team headed toward the NCAA Tournament bubble. It would be a shame if four-year standout Buckeyes guard Bruce Thornton never gets the opportunity to play in March Madness.
-- Highly impactful games tonight in the ACC (Duke @ Louisville), SEC (Georgia @ Florida), Atlantic 10 (George Washington @ Dayton), Big XII (Texas Tech @ Houston), and Mountain West (San Diego State @ Nevada). And Minnesota (9-5, 2-1 Big Ten) will try to go to 9-0 at The Barn vs. red-hot Iowa (12-2, 2-1), whose only losses are to Iowa State and Michigan State.

Remember when 6th-year seniors were a rarity? Guys like Northwestern’s Evan Eschmeyer & Iowa’s Jess Settles.
Good times.
Nowadays, that’s nothing. We’ve got grandpas playing major college basketball.
