This very well can be a basketball rivalry such as the football one.
Anyway my prediction is OSU by 16. Like MSU, UM can't win on the road.

Flat out ugly game. Michigan was handing over the ball like it was their job, plus bricked every shot in sight. For some reason it is impossible to win on the road in the Big Ten this year.
On another note, OSU is legit, and they're going to be SCARY good [smilie=jaw-droppin: next year.

I'm a Jamar Butler fan. He plays some solid ball for the Buckeyes and also is from my area.

They don't return anybody, they may be scary, but not in any way related to this year. Also, they should start slow, then start rolling over people later in the season.

I know they may not be returning any players, but if they're doing what they're doing with those players, think about what Thad is going to do with blue chip talent.

Are you sure they aren't returning anyone? Lewis and Butler both have remaining eligibility and would seem likely to stick around. They both average double-figures in scoring and probably realize they'll get a good chance to elevate their draft potential if they stay. Lewis will want to stay because who is going to draft a 6'3" forward, and Butler because he'll have a chance to prove his point skills by averaging 9 assists per game throwing lobs. I think Thaddeus would like to have some upper-class leadership for his youngsters and would assure them of their PT to keep them around.

Sylvester, Dials, and Foster are definitely gone, and that is their 2 best players, and a player who won a couple games by being clutch for them.
Hell, Sullinger gets 12 and 6, and will be gone.
I think that their starting lineup will be:
Conley
Butler
Cook
Lighty
Oden
Go 4 smalls. They return very little.
