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

[AuTX Buckeye]

Interesting perspective from Frank Martin a moment ago on his line of thinking after hanging with Syracuse in the first half last week.

Can you summarize? I changed channels when they started slurpin Gordon Gecko

RT @rushthecourt Asked John Adams, NCAA Coord of Officiating, about the first half. He said "No comment". That's what I would have said too.

Somewhat happy about this half but there's going to come a time when Syracuse is going to start hitting their jump shots. Hopefully Thomas and Sully get going in the second half.

I like the idea of Sully and Williams for short stretches to try and keep them out of the lane, but that might be too big with Sully, Williams, and DT without a strong outside presence. Their zone would probably collapse to the inside unless we can make a bit more than the odd 3.

It's important for tOSU to keep the turnovers down to prevent 'Cuse from getting easy baskets and getting the crowd jacked up. Keep getting it to Diesel inside the elbow and let him shoot or feed Sully.

He said they felt pretty good about where they were... then Scoop Jardine took over. Pretty much said "that's what he does."

Buckeyes can't come out lacking in focus and intensity like they did to start the second half on Thursday.

2ND Half we need

TOUGH SHUT DOWN D!!

On Offense more movement away from the ball. Be patient. Work for the good shot.

We need DT and BUFORD to get hot and get a good rhythm on Offense.

Great D by Sully - and no foul.
