Why the offense was run through Sullinger who had NOTHING for Withey is beyond me. You're going to let your senior go out like that? Buford was on FIRE and needed to have the ball every possession. I CRAVE better in game adjustments, but I think it's time to accept that a NC will never happen in this sport at this school under this regime.

This is beyond ridiculous. Ohio State basketball is averaging nearly 28 wins a year under Matta. The school record for wins when Matta showed up was 27...and this isn't good enough for you? Wow, I'm embarassed we have fans like this. Do people not realize how hard it is to win a title in basketball? We should thank our lucky stars everyday we have a coach like Thad Matta.

I hope Bill Self enjoys his Kentucky assfucking, because I have the feeling they're going to get it. In my opinion we lost this game in the first half as much as the second, because we didn't take full advantage of when Kansas was playing like shitsalad. If that had been Kentucky they might have had a 30 point lead in the first half if they were playing well...if Kansas starts slow Monday, they're dead meat.

He is a fantastic recruiter. 80% of being a great coach is getting great players. Note that I did not criticize that. It's widely known throughout the fan base that he struggles to make adjustments.

The gameplan is to work through Sullinger and DT. Yes. They take 33 shots and make 8... Your senior, one of the greatest scorers in OSU history, is on fire and shooting 60% from the field and from the 3 point line. You're allowed to change the offensive strategy.

I don't blindly support everything that happens with the team. You're allowed to be critical as a fan, it means you care. I'm embarrassed we have fans that call fellow fans out for providing their take on what we all just watched.

Final 4s between 1969 and 1998 with players like Jim Jackson: 0

Final 4s under Thad Matta: 2

And this is what you come up with? Seriously dude, stick to the ESPN boards for basketball...

god bless...I gotta tell you though, I am handling this one better than last years loss to UK.

I thought this team would get there. 13 point lead but the let up once again, this time to a team too good to take the foot off their throat. I will miss a lot of these guys, the team has been a gem to watch the last 2 years. Best of luck to all those who move on.

As always, Go BUCKS!
