+/- for the Obliteration of an Ohio State school

Player	Minutes	NU Pts	OSU Pts	Raw +/-	Player Impact	Game +/-
Buie	32	72	42	+30	+3.45	+9.45
Langborg	35	73	53	+20	+2.28	+6.28
Barnhizer	35	70	55	+15	+1.31	+4.31
Berry	20	41	18	+23	-0.50	+4.10
Martinelli	27	64	42	+22	-0.49	+3.91
Hunger	21	48	33	+15	-1.35	+1.65
Preston	2	5	5	+0	+0.38	+0.38
Nicholson	15	30	18	+12	-2.58	-0.18
Clayton	7	12	14	-2	-2.50	-2.90

Total annihilation of the Buckeyes. I expected much more from them.
The game ball goes to Boo Buie... Buie fouled out with 3:31 to go with NU holding a 81-48 lead.
I kept the next 2 minute segment in the stats because Clayton was in for Buie.
We lost that segment 8-2, so Martinelli, Hunger, Barnhizer and Langborg also got dinged there.
When Collins put in Gus and Mullins with 1:14 to play, it was garbage time. The garbage man showed up awfully late!
Missed a golden opportunity to try Preston at the 5 with Hunger at the 4.... but at least Clayton got a few extra minutes and Collins was trying Hunger with various combinations.
We still need a plan for any scenario in which Buie, Martinelli, Langborg, Barnhizer or Berry can't play.

Ryan Langborg had a nice game - one of his better efforts. In fact the 5 "non-centers" all played well.
There was no single lineup that punished the Buckeyes. Almost all of them worked.
The starters (Nicholson/Barnhizer/Berry/Langborg/Buie) outscored OSU 13-7 in over 7 minutes.
The golden lineup (Nicholson/Martinelli/Barnhizer/Berry/Buie) got a brief opportunity in the 2nd half and won 5-0 in 1:49.
We went on an 18-1 run in the 2nd half, using 5 different lineups over 6.5 minutes.

When Barnhizer was on the bench, we outscored OSU 13-1.
However, when Buie was on the bench, we were outscored 16-11, due to the last 3:31.

Any way you look at it, it was a total shellacking. And even KenPom noticed!

When Barnhizer was on the bench, we outscored OSU 13-1.

Don't know what to make of this (SMALL SAMPLE SIZE ALERT). While he wasn't nearly as good as he has been the last couple weeks, he still seemed to play pretty well.

Will be interesting to see the healthy Barnhizer on Wednesday in his hometown.

If I am CCC, Boo is playing until we are 20 up, 20 down, or he is down on one knee! A got a little Ray Meyer in me.

Sometimes I just notice weird little anomalies.
I'd put this in that category.
Although I do think that it is interesting to keep track of "Points Scored / Allowed" while a guys is sitting on the bench.
Call it Bench +/-.
It helps point out which guys are most difficult to replace.

Right now, for the season, Buie's "Bench +/-" is -40. We've been outscored 107-147 over 18 games when Buie sits.
When Buie is on the court we are +130. 1197-1067.

I like the idea of the bench +/-, but then again, I like all the numbers. They don't always have to mean anything, but I like just looking at them and trying to figure things out. I'd say we're cut from the same cloth in that sense.

Paradoxically, I'm also an emotional guy, especially when it comes to the sports teams I follow. Even with data staring me in the face, I still let the emotions overtake that. I guess that makes me a fan?
