The Buckeye Hoopsters take on Houston Baptist tonight at Value City Arena. Click Below to see the live game blog and hit refresh to get live updates.Enjoy the game and Go Bucks!

7:06 Here we go….game couldn’t have come at a better time…William Buford aggressive move to start the game…..

7:09 Houston Baptist has a lot of former big-time school players…..Gordon Watt who played at BC and Purdue is one of them and is averaging about 18 and 9…..impressive…….I like the way the Bucks have come out….looking hungry…..

7:11 Simmons big 3 and we go up 6-1…..Baptist turnover turns into a Buford 3….he has 6 of 9…i love this kid…..if the Lighty injury has any positives it’s more PT for Buford…..

7:13 Lauderdale is much improved but still picks up stupid fouls…I wish either Dallas or BJ would be consistent this year…..Buford for 3 in the corner he has 9 of 12 and we lead 12-5…..Buford has started hot like this before, but fades in the second half….need to keep up the scoring….

7:15 Huskies can’t break our zone…….charge on Simmons…we lead 14-5…I like what I’m seeing as the offense looks as fluid as ever…once again no better time for this game to be scheduled…..Sweet little hook by Dallas and we lead 16-5….WOW Buford tries to throw down a massive dunk which clangs but he was fouled….under 16 time-out and looking good for OSU…..Buford to the line when we return….

7:19 Bucks back here, up 18-7……Turnerout BJ in…don’t see 52 and 32 in together too often….

7:22 Clumsy BJ turns the ball over….clearly trying to use our size….we can use speed, shooting, or skills too!…..BJ with a nice play but goal tending 18-9….let’s pull away here….

7:24 This is like high school for Mullens as he dominates his man….Baptist hits a 3 and now trails by 8, 20-12……Hoskett wants more time for BJ—I agree some days…..How can BJ look so good from line at times and so bad at others…he hits both here and we’re up 10…..

7:26 Turner silky smooth and Baptist answers once again….up 24-15….we need to cut off their 3-point shooting…..they have hit 3 tonight…..Diebler answers with 2 and we’re back up 11…..

7:28 BJ WITH A HUGE BLOCK!!!!…..PJ Hill for 3 from Mullens….who needs Crater now?…..another time-out on the floor…we’ll be back soon….send your comments to alex@dottingthei.com if you have something to say, want to correct me, or just want to see your name on the internet…..

7:30 If anyone caught that commercial of all the Big Ten basketball coaches—nice try, but will never live up to Joe Pa’s “COME TO PENN STATE”—that one gets me every time……what’s your opinions of Mullens’ tattoos…one arm says B the other arm says J….Not a fan here or of his crust-ache……

7:32 Under 10 minutes left and we lead 29-15…make that 31-15 after a Mullens basket…..dropping into the 2-3 match-up zone here….Diebler for 3 and we now lead 34-15….we need to keep this up…..

7:34 Buckeyes now lead 36-18…..under 8 minutes left….another jumper by Turner and we lead by 20….Everyone sharing the wealth tonight and it’s lead to success….if only it was this easy….

Comment from ChiBuck88: “Mullens is becoming a great player before our eyes…..He needs to bring it every night…I hope he plays more…..”

7:36 Under 8 time out here….I agree about Mullens becoming a player….you can tell he is becoming more comfortable in college, but he needs to be more consistent….We need an identity for this team….When Lighty comes back it will only help if the younger guys are more developed…..

7:38 Some compare Diebler to JJ Reddick….Diebler has shown more of a initiative to take the ball inside off the pump fake earlier than Reddick ever did (if he ever did)….Reddick was a better (more consistent) shooter and better from the foul line as well….

7:40 Walter Offutt getting into the action and we’re up 40-21…….5:38 left in the first half….Club Trillion hero Mark Titus looking smooth on the bench….

7:42 Buckeyes up by 20, 41-21…Baptist getting boards without our bigs in…we need to continue to put this one away…..Shout out to Ben Kweller who told me “IT SUCKS TO HAVE A LIVE BLOG GOING”……

7:44 Game getting boring at this point…Dallas hits both free throws….Bucks up 43-22…..Big guys back in and Thad means business…43-22 at the under 4 minute time out….we’ll be back…once again send comments to alex@dottingthei.com and they will be posted for discussion live….

7:47 Simmons for three right out of the gates here and we lead 46-22…wow 6-11 from three….

7:50 Wow….great behind the back move and lay-in for the basket and one for ET….phone home Evan…..first time we get to see transfer #24 Nikola Kecman…….interested to see what we got here in this 6′9″ forward…..

7:52 Evan Turner palms often…got called last game…got away with it here…….KECMAN FIRST BASKET ON A NICE POST MOVE…..the Serbian makin’ moves…..

7:53 Halftime here….Bucks lead 55-26….be back at the start of the second……

8:03 Halftime needs to be cut-down in college basketball…I feel like it’s shorter in football…what is up with this……

8:05 Nice to see Lighty in high spirits…glad to see he’s still being a great captain figure for these guys….DL is a great kid and will make this team a force to be reckoned with come his return….I have the shirt he’s wearing in white and blue too, which is a cool side-note…..

8:08 Back here for the second half…..

8:10 I’ll probably cut the blog off when this game gets REALLY out of hand…..I’ll let you know but we’ll see……I love William Buford…3 pointer puts us up 58-26….

8:12 I can’t wait to read Titus’s Blog after this game…the game is so out of hand he must have a ton of things to do…….Big 3 pointer again and we’re up 61-26……

8:15 Gordon Watt the only bright spot on this team….we’re up 32 and this is getting out of hand fast…..our inbound play works again and Dallas with a top-in…that play has been successful for 3 years now….

8:17 I don’t know how much longer I can find nonsense to talk about in this blow out…8:30 might be it for me…..15:58 left and we’re up 34 points….any suggestions????

8:20 Glad to see Buford tie his career high with 17 points…..i’m sure he’ll add another point or two and there it is…19 points after a tip-in……

8:22 I love the Nuthouse but some of those kids are mad weird…..for real….Ron Cottrell (HC-Houston Baptist) friends with Mike Conley Sr. in college…interesting

8:25 I take back my BJ crust-ache comment…he apparently shaved it…finally……

8:30 I’ve officially had enough…this game is a joke…I will continue watching, but I’m just unable to write about how we are blowing this team out any longer….BUCKS WIN….if I jinx them Iapologize, but that’s just pathetic….

Have a good night guys and we’ll be back tomorrow…GO BUCKS!
