Summary

On this Monday Buckeye Talk, Stephen Means and Doug Lesmerises use Ohio State's last-second loss at Purdue on Sunday to try to put the basketball Buckeyes in context this season. And Nathan Baird, a former Purdue basketball beat writer, joins for a bit to help use the Boilermakers to put the Buckeyes in context. Also covered: Is Ohio State or Purdue the better team, and better program, right now? Eugene Brown III played maybe his best game Sunday -- is he showing signs of making a leap? Why doesn't Ohio State have more big guys? Both E.J. Liddell and Malachi Branham showed again they're big-time scorers down the stretch. And finally, should Ohio State be viewed as an underdog program right now? Thanks for listening to Buckeye Talk from cleveland.com. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
