Joe Lunardi now has #OhioState as his final team to avoid playing in Dayton after last night's win at Penn State. #Buckeyes are playing themselves off the bubble. Here are my postgame takeaways from last night: www.dispatch.com/story/sports...
There certainly weren't 6K like the box score says.
Thoroughly rocked out to this episode on my drive to Penn State today. Then listened to "Permission to Land" and might have damaged my vocal cords.

Hey #OhioState fans...thinking about this Purdue win today and how #Buckeyes fans haven't had joy like this in a while. Curious: Where were you for this game? Who did you watch with? I'll try to share some of your stories on the BuckeyeXtra podcast tonight.
In interviews today before practice, #OhioState coach Jake Diebler said Christoph Tilly "wasnβt really able to do much yesterday (Friday)" in leadup to Purdue game.
Sorry I haven't been as active on here, #OhioState hoops fans. I'll try to be better. Here's my takeaways from that #Buckeyes loss at Iowa last night, with more to come: www.dispatch.com/story/sports...
Agreed.
We don't see daily practice so I withhold some judgement in such situations, but in my eyes not playing him going forward would be some version of malpractice.
He's lived in Chile, Germany, Columbus and Cali, as he calls it. Christoph Tilly is a world traveler, and he's brought those experiences with him to his senior season at #OhioState.
βI like to see how different the world is,β he told me.
Feature story: www.dispatch.com/story/sports...
Tilly's injury happened so close to gametime that they had little time to prepare. It had a significant impact on how that game played out.
I think the position change has come with positives and minuses. I don't think regression is the right word for it.
Tegan and Sara rule. HUGE fan.

#OhioState has struggled with home attendance this men's basketball season. I talked with #Buckeyes AD Ross Bjork for his thoughts on what's going on and how OSU can draw bigger crowds.
"It's not just one thing," he told me.
