I'd like to agree but it seems like ever team we have played this year has brought their A game with them. Everyone wants to knock off the Buckeyes.

Ahh, but Amaker is the key. He's by far the most incompetent coach in basketball. I know it's a rivalry game and scUM will be highly motivated but it won't be enough to overcome the home court advantage, coaching advantage, and talent advantage.

I'm not sure that "Sims will be able to get Oden in foul trouble."
I do believe we should win handily even if we don't blow them out

Sorry. I meant to say that Sims has the capability of getting Oden into foul trouble, especially with the game at Chrysler and Big Ten officials being the pussies they are.

If that happens, this game will be "closer than the experts think."

Sims played us pretty well last year if I remember right. However, the games I've seen him play this year (at Indiana comes to mind) he looked like shit. Bucks roll 74-58

It's 6:28 on the east coast, and scUM still sucks!

Well I guess anything is possible... but UM fans think Sims plays way too soft against meager big men, let alone Mr. Oden.

The game is in Columbus, not at Crisler. And, we are going to kill scUM on the glass. Their bigs do tend to play soft and with the way Hunter and Oden crash the offensive glass, they will struggle grabbing rebounds in this one.

Just a note - may wish to update the title, as of today the Buckeye men's squad is back to #3 in AP and USA Today polls.
:biggrin:
And, if I read VR Bryant's piece on BN correctly, they have a decent shot at winning 6, if not all of their remaining 7 games in Big Ten Conference play.
:biggrin:
It begins Tuesday.

Remembering how the Bucks played against UNC, I don't think scUM can match talent with tOSU regardless of Oden in foul trouble or not.

Well the key there is the paly of Twigs and Hunter.

So long as they both continue to play well, Oden doesn't have to worry about foul issues quite as much.
