It's funny, this years Ohio State reminds me a lot of Wisconsin of a couple of years ago when we had Jordan Taylor running point. I'd never count Ohio State out because I think very highly of Thad Matta, but the comparisons are there, to me, at least.
I'm not sure where you are going with this. Jordan Taylor was our point guard for two years. In the first year, we had the #3 offense in America based on efficiency. In the second year, we lost had a shot at the buzzer to beat a #1 seed in the Sweet 16, and our offense was ranked #19.
We never had trouble when he was here. Last year, we did when he left. We were #108 on offense and #1 on defense. Maybe that's what you are thinking of?
I'm not trying to nitpick. I'm just saying OSU could actually use someone like Jordan Taylor who was offensively aggressive and could shoot his way out of a slump.
