On this Monday Buckeye Talk, Stephen Means and Doug Lesmerises answer almost 20 questions from text subscribers about the basketball Buckeyes, after a week that included a huge road win at Illinois and a disappointing road loss at Maryland.\n\nWhat's the best and worst the Buckeyes could do in the NCAA Tournament?\n\nWhat should be the starting lineup and rotation?\n\nShould Ced Russell play more minutes?\n\nHow much better will the backcourt be next year?\n\nShould Chris Holtmann try to rest some of his best players down the stretch?\n\nWould it be better for the Buckeyes to lose early in the Big Ten Tournament?\n\nWhat's the level of faith in Holtmann right now?\n\nAre E.J. Liddell and Malaki Branham one of the best duos in the country, and how far can they carry the Buckeyes?\n\n\n\nThis covered a lot of ground, so thanks for listening to another Buckeye Talk from cleveland.com.\n\n See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
