Eleven Dubcast: Ohio State Limps Into the Postseason Having Lost Three of Its Final Four Regular Season Games

After Ohio State's men's basketball team upended Illinois in Champaign, gaining a game toward a possible regular season Big Ten championship, the same team tanked hard on the road at Maryland.

Fueled by an explosion from Joey Brunk in just his third start of the season, Ohio State throttled Michigan State at the Schott, and then days later looked absolutely hapless in the second half against the hated Wolverines in the regular season finale.

Having lost three of their final four games of the regular season (including an ignoble loss to Nebraska of all teams), the Buckeyes enter the postseason with absolutely no momentum and lots of questions about the team's toughness, about the coaching staff's second-half decision making, and about the program's future under Chris Holtmann.

This week The Dubcast has some frank discussions about the situation, and what's comes next for the Buckeye hoops program. We'll also discuss the NFL Combine and how Ohio State's entrants performed in Indianapolis last week.

Plus, Ask Us Anything (which, as always, you can do by emailing us at dubcast@elevenwarriors.com) talks about some really strange 1994 movies involving children and older women, as well as how adolescent Johnny and Andy would have spent a million bucks.
