2012 Elite Eight: #2 tOSU 77, #1 Syracuse 70 (Final!)

[Fungo Squiggly]

You rarely don't when you play like an out of control buffoon.

They would be bailouts a lot of times, but he almost never gets them even when he's clobbered.

That was an NBA travel.

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Very nice play by Waiters there.

 

[Jake]

Sully sat most of it and we're tied at the half.

Go Bucks! :osu:

 

[jlb1705]

That's a winning half to hang in there without Sullinger. Go get 'em in the second!

 

[Wells4Heisman]

Good half without Sullinger.

Williams could murder someone and not get called but Sullinger gets so many ticky tack fouls.

Amir all and all Great Job..WB we need you..don't go turtle

Williams could murder someone and not get called but Sullinger gets so many ticky tack fouls.

Can it even be considered "ticky tack" when there is literally no contact?

Gotta try for at least a little dribble penetration in the second half. Not sure why Buford never even tries to use his midrange game any more. I would expect Sully to shoot a ton of FTs in the second half, but I suspect that this officiating clown squad will decide that it's been the show for long enough and call almost nothing on either team for the rest of the game.

 

[Bill Lucas]

I know Buford isn't playing well but can we please follow forum rules? I'm tired of the bashing.

This crap isn't allowed in football threads and the same rules apply here. Keep it to yourselves.

 

[Magua]

For as frustrated and angry as I have been watching this first half...we're tied without our best player. I will take it I guess.

 

[FlyerBuck]

Sully is going to come out of halftime as man possessed

 

[OhioState001]

Can it even considered "ticky tack" when then is literally no contact?

I was giving them the benefit of the doubt.

Amir was the MVP that half...huge minutes to get us to the half tied.

The reason William doesn't get any calls is because he plays to get calls. If he were more aggressive and tried to actually finish vs. trying to draw contact he'd be a lot more successful at getting calls.

Rough game for Will so far...hope he can make a bigger impact in the second half.

Wish DeShawn had a better shooting rhythm but he's making good decisions at the top of the key. Even if he makes a bad pass, it's the right read. Having Sully back in the second half will be huge.

And lastly, I hope that terrible call against Syracuse on the charge, doesn't somehow equal the awful call on Sully in their (referees) minds. We missed Jared for an entire half. That call cost Syracuse a point. These officials better damn-sure let Jared play in the second half....

Go Bucks!!!
