You should adopt Ohio State for the tourney

Aaron Craft, the point guard for OSU is responsible for getting Bruce Pearl tossed at Tennessee. He's from Findlay, OH and committed to Tennessee. While on a visit, Pearl had Craft and his father (who is a coach) over to his house for a BBQ. Craft's father knew this was a violation and had a dilemma on his hands. In order to protect his son he had to report Pearl. Craft then decommitted from UT and went to Ohio State. I know it's the chunky Big 10 and not the high flying soon-to-be-dissolved Big East, but they've got some good players. Additionally, if you're a fan of the women's team, Craft dumped all over Tennessee, which makes supporting OSU all the sweeter.

I think your trolling but...

Why would I root for the kid who couldn't keep his mouth shut and enjoy free ribs? ill root for the kid that gets Syracuse shut down but Tennessee is irrelevant now. Even in women's hopes they are no longer elite.

Motta's not a likable guy so no thanks on Ohio State...........maybe Hoiberg though and his Cyclones! Their fun to watch........

 

[phillionaire]

the only school i hate more than syracuse is ohio state. not just the college either. the entire state of ohio.

 

[husky99]

Motta is a dick. Osu fans are pricks, so no... the lobos where my team and they had a bit of a slip up

 

[mcs333]

Go FGCU!!

 

[auggie22]

I like OSU. And I like the way that Craft plays. I can get onboard with this.

 

[huskyblooz]

any school that refers to themselves as THEE Ohio State University is too pompous for my blood.
I'm just rooting for all the mid-majors.

I've always hated that.

 

[housekeys]

How about Nooooooooo. (Unless it is coming with a B1G invite )

 

[TRest]

Motta appears to be a tool from where I sit. OSU cheats like an SEC school. No thanks.

 

[Bryan Lord]

I don't root for cheaters. No SEC school or Rick Pitino Coached teams for me

 

[Rico444]

Aaron Craft is the most overrated player in college hoops. Don't see what's so likeable about him.

You guys are harsh. Usually the becomes thee in front of a vowel - you know, thee earth is round. You hate the whole state, wow. You do realize that Ohio is the Western Reserve of Connecticut right? FYI Bryon Lord, I've been around since 99.

 

[conn man]

Please....Phyuck the Suckeyes!

No, we don't hate the whole state of Ohio. We just hate people who can't say Ohio State. Why THEE? It's University of Connecticut or UCONN. Not THEE University of Connecticut.

Just like I hate The U!

All they way back to 99?

 

[Robertelamin]

No

 

[huskyniner]

We don't really care about hating Tennessee here. You probably should've posted this on the women's board.

it doesnt even have anything to do with the tennessee womens team to begin with, its the most bizarre reason to route for a team.

 

[NHUConnfan]

To me, Aaron Craft is the biggest to be part of college basketball since Greg Paulus and Devendorf.

 

[Huskybass]

My favorite thing about Ohio State is that UConn beat them in 88 to win the NIT title...

 

[Senore]

Good Lord, you go all the way back to '88?

 

[RichZ]

My favorite thing about Ohio is that there's a town and a state forest that share my name. Unfortunately, the town apparently consists of 3 trailers and a feed store, but hell, how many of us have a town named after a direct ancestor? Of course he never even visited it. Just funded the foundation of the town as an investment, so they named it after him.
