I agree. But the committee hasn't exactly been kind to OSU in the recent past when it comes to seeding. Hence my saying I wouldnt be surprised with a 3.

Hopefully that dude Gene Smith isn't on the committee.....he screws osu over every time he's the chairman.

Just finished watching the game, and man, what a performance by Craft in the 2nd half! DVRing the game again tomorrow, but I'll get to watch it much earlier than tonight.

IIRC, it's not the seeding that is the problem, it's the draw. Last year was actually somewhat fortunate, and that team deserved a 2 seed. Yet the year before they got Kentucky as a 4 seed while being the overall #1. Kentucky as a 4 was enough of a joke, but putting them in the overall #1 seed's bracket was a slap in the face. I suppose the year before that getting the worst #2 seed kind of sucked, but they deserved a 2. The bracket worked out in OSU's favor with Kansas and GTown going down early, but then of course they lost to Tennessee.

I suppose in 08 and 09 they could have gotten a better seed or actually in the tournament, but in 06 and 07 they got good seeds.

Yeah, but guess who he was replaced with...MSU's AD Mark Hollis. He was probably the drunk MSU fan at the hotel. It's payback time for all those conference conspiracies against MSU.

Just watched the replay...so I want a fathead of Craft...can I be sure it won't steal from my house guests? But seriously, Craft is my favorite player of any OSU team regardless of sport. It will be damn near impossible for me to watch a game when he leaves, so I will just enjoy every second while he is here.

Other notes...Thompson is getting hot. Ross is too. Less of Lenzelle (love his effort but the guy cannot shoot), more of the others. Great job guys, now lets beat Wisky and the Grinch!

My worst nightmare is a weak ref from a non-physical conference who chalks up two quick ones on Craft before we get out of the blocks.

This is my fear as well. :(

Glad to see someone else has been paying attention.

Hopefully Gene's on the committee...there's no way OSU could ever get the short end as long as he's there--they'll get the best seeding and matchups in the tournament every time he's the chairman.
