OSU lost to D-II Findlay

I won't be able to do previews for all of the basketball games this season, but I will put up posts when I get a chance. I missed the exhibition game last night, because of Time Warner (a discussion for another day.) It sounds like Findlay was shooting well. It is funny, because the Dispatch had an article yesterday morning that said OSU could lose. Evidently Findlay was a strong D-II school last year and they almost beat Dayton last week. For comparison purposes, Michigan State also lost an exhibition game to a D-II school, Grand Valley State. Yes, we are are already starting to hear, "The Big Ten is Down..." I am not too worried since it is an exhibition game and Matta is doing a lot of substitutions to find the right combination. This team is not the same as last year, they will lose some games, but they should be competitive in the Big Ten. The success of this team will depend on how well the incoming freshman, namely Diebler and Koufos can adjust to college basketball. There is a lot of talent on the team, but they may be one year off of seeing success similar to last year. I think Lighty will have a great season. OSU is a host for games in the preseason NIT, starting next Monday.
