I am a huge OSU fan for the next 2 hours

[husky99]

Haha. Only helps us if they win

 

[BUHusky]

This game is atrocious.

 

[UConn4ever]

Big 3 to end the half for the Buckeyes! Not that it matters but I don't know how UK can be ranked so high.

 

[nomar]

OSU up 12 at the break! Which means they'll only lose by 15!

 

[UConnMike04]

Up 16 right now! Does that mean we'd be up 36 on Kentucky? Ha

 

[Huskybass]

Up 16 now. Go OSU !!!

 

[husky99]

Love it...

 

[Matrim55]

OSU's gonna lose this.

 

[superjohn]

Can't believe OSU keeps leaving Murray open, he's the only guy on the team who can shoot and he's making everything. Really can't believe Poythress just made a three, dude has trouble making layups.

 

[Minicoop69]

Refs are gonna find a way to give this game to Kentucky.

 

[BUConn10]

Calipari's strategy:

Recruit uber athletic and NBA ready one and dones, overwhelm your opponents who have roster of actual college students, and when you need to score simply jump over your opponents.

If you win: credit coaching, superior talent, make a few pitches to some GMs, and thank BBN of course.

If you lose: downplay your opponent, call it their "super bowl". Blame the loss on the inexperience of the team that you hand selected and formed.

Getting down to the wire. C'mon Buckeyes!!

 

[Silk31]

Skal and Briscoe seem like a classic over hype example - especially Skal who was supposed to be the top big man in next year's draft...no shot that happens now

 

[huskyniner]

How the hell did we beat this team by 20?

 

[FfldCntyFan]

One additional downside (for college hoops) of the current Kentucky model (I noticed this when they fouled Gibbons a couple of minutes ago), late in games they can foul the opponent at will and not worry about running out of players. Big deal if their top four all foul out of a game, they still will have more talent on the floor than anyone.

On that note its over! Great game buckeyes!

Skal is painfully unimpressive, yet you will still probably find him in the Top 3 of any analysts "big man rankings".

 

[MexicoHusky]

Big WIN. Helps our cause.

 

[I Bleed Blue]

74-67 Final. Buckeyes win!!

F Kensucky

Ohio State looked like the better team, they have a lot of young athletes and a few shot makers, they never deviated from what they wanted to do. For Kentucky Ulis is really good, Murray is really good and then it's just a bunch of athletes who can't shoot and have no touch, hard to be a great team when you have only one guy on the team who can shoot. Calipari will blame it all on inexperience. Great day of bball with Duke and Kentucky losing!

 

[BearJWS]

Yes, a fine day of basketball when both Kentucky & Duke go down.

 

[BUConn10]

Imagine if Cal didn't steal Jamal Murray at the last second. This team would be absolutely lost, but probably still top 5.

 

[Matrim55]

No shot he'll be the top big man in the draft because he had a no-show against Ohio State in mid-December?

I'd call that a classic Boneyard over-reaction example...

 

[Hankster]

Great job Ohio State. Cannot wait for Monday to see how much they both drop. We may move up after defeating L-Mass. Who knows.

 

[superjohn]

Imagine if Cal didn't steal Jamal Murray at the last second. This team would be absolutely lost, but probably still top 5.

He is so lucky he got Murray, without him they are mediocre at best.

Our blowout wins over Michigan and Ohio State are no joke and will only get stronger once the B1G conference games start.
