The odds have been set for the Syracuse/tOSU's East Regional.

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

I'm pretty confident the zone would cause problems for OSU.....I just don't know if Syracuse can get that far. Kansas State is a decent team if they can win their first game, and I don't know how Syracuse would deal with Wisconsin's boring as shit slow down offense.

 

[LitlBuck]

Don't know if it is my Ohio State bias or not but I think a number of teams have a chance to win this Region. Teams will have problems with Syracuse's zone if they have not faced it before but I can also see Ohio State and a couple other teams winning this Region.

BREAKING: #Syracuse center Fab Melo will miss the NCAA Tournament due to an eligibility issue, per @Cuse

IF osu gets to the elite 8, they're chances just went up

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

Well fuck

 

[Bucknut24]

time to change ALL my brackets

 

[OHSportsFan]

Already had them losing to a good-shooting Vanderbilt team.

Damn, so did I. Thought I might sneak some points there. Guess not.

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

I can see Wisconsin playing the same kind of game that ND did to beat them without Melo way back when.

 

[LitlBuck]

It would be interesting to know what their record was when Melo did not play.

 

[OhioState001]

It would be interesting to know what their record was when Melo did not play.

They lost at Notre Dame, beat Cincinnati by 7 and beat WVU by 3.

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

All 3 games were terribly played, also.

All 3 games were terribly played, also.

My thoughts were that the FSU game would be as bad as the Syracuse game. So that part remains, but if tOSU clears FSU, then today's news should help the Bucks.

 

[Bucknut24]

am I the only one that's not scared of FSU at all?

When they were announcing the bracket, I was hoping FSU would be the 3 seed in our bracket because I think they are overrated, yes they destroyed UNC once and beat them in the ACC tourny, and beat Duke...but over the past 4-5 years they have ALWAYS played those 2 teams very tough, and give them fits, it's like playing @Purdue in football for us.

But get outside the ACC, and I don't believe they are a good team, they lost to Harvard, Connecticut, got slaughtered by Sparty, Lost to fucking Princeton, and got beat bad by UF
