If by "A-Game" you mean "Amaker", they will...and will lose badly.OCBucksFan;740923; said:

sandgk;741302; said: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.
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.
It begins Tuesday.
I think that this game is more likely 82-60.
Ken Pomeroy has us with a greater than 90% probability of winning all but two of our games remaining. His predictions have been very accurate so far, especially his predictions of winning margin. His model has tended to slightly under-predict our winning margins, which is to be expected in a team that didn't have Oden early and which continues to improve.
How many wins going into the NCAA?
Tue Feb 6Ohio St. vs. (55) Michigan Home W, 72-57[65] (93%)
Sat Feb 10Ohio St. vs. (44) Purdue Home W, 75-61[66] (92%)
Wed Feb 14Ohio St. vs. (114) Penn St. Away W, 76-60[64] (94%)
Sun Feb 18Ohio St. vs. (141) Minnesota Away W, 73-56[65] (96%)
Wed Feb 21Ohio St. vs. (114) Penn St. (Home W, 80-57[64] (98%)
Sun Feb 25Ohio St. vs. (6) Wisconsin Home W, 69-64[65] (69%)
Sat Mar 3Ohio St. vs. (55) Michigan Away W, 68-61[65] (78%)
His projected record** of 26-4 (14-2) assumes that on a fluke we lose one we shouldn't lose.

A forgotten hero
When you go to bed tonight, take a second to pray for this man. He has quietly been bringing joy to your life for years, with very little recognition from you. He is Bill Martin, Athletic Director at the University of Michigan. He is responsible for keeping Voyd and Amaker on the payroll.
Few Buckeyes have made a greater contribution to our happiness.

Amaker's answers offer insight into U-M's woes
Tuesday, February 06, 2007
The best freshman class in America plays for Ohio State.
Center Greg Oden will only be there a year before he leaves for the NBA, point guard Mike Conley Jr. and shooting guard Daequan Cook will eventually join Oden in pro ball. Even swingman David Lighty looks like a promising prospect.
In three seasons, Thad Matta has propelled Ohio State from mediocre to the national basketball stage.

Amaker: OSU's Oden a big talent
February 6, 2007
BY MARK SNYDER
FREE PRESS SPORTS WRITER
Tommy Amaker has seen Greg Oden's type.
Though that might seem unusual for a once-in-a-generation player like the Ohio State freshman center, Amaker had a close look at a number of Oden's big-man predecessors.
Growing up in Falls Church, Va., in the early 1980s, he spent his high school years watching Ralph Sampson at Virginia, his early college years at Duke crossing paths with Georgetown's Patrick Ewing, and then his assistant coaching time at Duke trying to scheme for Wake Forest's Tim Duncan.

Harris on U-M: We're not tough
Senior guard says this team's woes are a reflection of the players, not Amaker or staff.
Eric Lacy / The Detroit News
Michigan at Ohio State
Tip-off: 7 tonight at Value City Arena, Columbus, Ohio
TV/radio: ESPN/WWJ 950
Records: Michigan 16-7, 4-4; Ohio State 20-3, 8-1
Notable: The Wolverines have lost their past three games.
ANN ARBOR -- Since last Wednesday's loss at home to Iowa, it's been open season for criticism of the Michigan basketball team.
With three straight losses and a game at No. 4 Ohio State tonight, this stretch has been less than promising for the Wolverines' NCAA Tournament hopes.

Incredible that he is comparing his team to all the other D1 schools out there. Since when have head coaches settled for mediocracy?
