Wednesday night was another difficult game to watch for the Ohio State basketball team. The team seems to be regressing instead of getting better, and Buckeye Nation is not liking what it sees.
In fact, social media was not kind to the Buckeye hoopsters after this last undisciplined, low-energy, and stale showing that resulted in Ohio State losing to one of the worst teams in the league, Nebraska. This comes just a couple of games after losing to last-place Minnesota at home as a part of a stretch that has seen the Buckeyes lose five-straight games — all by single digits.
So yeah, the stream of disgust, depression, and insult-slinging were out in full force on Wednesday night as fans and others took turns treating the Ohio State basketball team like a punching bag.
Here are some of the best rage tweets from the sudden free fall the OSU hoops team finds itself mired in.
Comparing yourself to Nebraska basketball isn't usually a good thing
I mean, it kind of looked like a bad high school game, but the Buckeyes are winning, so…… yea? ¯_(ツ)_/¯ pic.twitter.com/ALmMQr1M1W

A former Buckeye shows his disgust
Just a team that looks totally lost. Lacking confidence all around. Just really sad. Ugh.

We all knew what was coming, another close loss
This is gonna happen again isn't it?

Maybe there's something to this
Here’s the deal, Ohio State hasn’t won a game since I started my diet. I take FULL responsibility. That being said, where should I get dinner from tonight before the game? McDonald’s?

Ouch
I once saw @TorgRadio stab himself in the leg with a ballpoint pen to take his mind off the blinding pain from a kidney stone. I have that same desire as I watch Buckeye basketball.

It was so long ago
Thinking about how my beloved alma mater, The™️ Ohio State University, at one point in my life simultaneously had the No. 1 football and men’s basketball programs in the country.

Time to switch to another team to root for
I would like to remind everyone at this juncture that the 18-0 Ohio State women's basketball team is a joy to watch.

Literally, a historically bad stretch
Ohio State started playing men's basketball in the 1898-99 season. It has never lost five straight games by single digits until now. What to make of that stat, and what is wrong with these #Buckeyes right now? Here's the 1,600-word postgame notebook:https://t.co/3q6eQV8hRz

Welp
Who will be the Ohio State basketball coach next year?

A great movie and an even better quote
There is Ohio State Football &

Then there’s 50 feet of crap

It did indeed happen
Remember when Ohio State used to contend for men’s basketball big ten championships? That was wild

This really tells you where things are
After checking stats and info… Chris Holtmann has taken Ohio State basketball to new lows. Ohio State basketball has never been in 13th place or lower place in the Big Ten since the Conference added Rutgers and Maryland in 2014.@mitchellbiever @clubtrillion @CBB_Central

No other comments needed
Ohio State men’s basketball SUCKS!!!
— Alwayzabuckeye614 (@turbo2point4) January 15, 2023
Yep, appears so
This is rock bottom for the Ohio State basketball team
— Scarlet & Game (@ScarletAndGame) January 19, 2023
I don't know how true this really is, but there are clearly different sets of standards
Half the people in Columbus don’t even know Ohio State has a basketball program. They are just waiting for spring ball. So whoever the coach is really doesn’t matter.

Resignation to irrelevancy from a proud fan base
Ohio State Basketball Is Irrelevant. Coming From An Ohio State Fan.

Well, maybe a little -- but things are definitely heading into the wrong direction
Ohio state might have one of the worst basketball teams I’ve ever seen. Not an exaggeration

It's definitely been a slow slide
I'm not sure what your standard is or where your bar is at for Ohio State basketball, but this can't be it…
— Nick Camino (@NickCaminoWKYC) January 15, 2023
What's beyond that though?
This Ohio State mens basketball team is nothing short of pathetic.
— Bob (@buckeyebob14) January 19, 2023
Honestly, isn't it already there?
Ohio State men's basketball is becoming depression.

Maybe a happy little win can live somewhere in the Schott in the near future
My delayed rage and loss of composure about the Ohio state basketball program has ended. Enjoy your day pic.twitter.com/x07m4Pm1Fq

Now that's a dish best served ...
Ohio state basketball is poop soup

Well, not if you are a fan
Ohio State's men's basketball is the funniest bit in sports. Everything about them is hilarious.
