#1 Ohio State 78, Valparaiso 58 (Final)

FWIW, I don't think Oden should be out there. He has a huge brace on his right hand, and basically is playing left handed. I mean, if his wrist isn't healthy enough to be used, should he be out there vs. Valpo?

Yes. The purpose of Greg Oden being out there today is to show him the speed of the game and for the benefit of his lungs. You can run all the sprints and gassers in practice that you want, but nothing equates to running up and down the court in a real game. That's why, I'm guessing, they have started him in a game like today, rather than a national powerhouse like UNC.

He's been cleared by the medical staff. He wouldn't be playing if they thought his wrist wasn't ready.

Oden with a block, rebound and basket. :biggrin:
