#5 Ohio State (25-8) vs #4 Gonzaga (31-4) - Saturday, March 17 @ ~7:45 ET (CBS)

I certainly don't expect us to win this game but it's not unthinkable that we could win. That's gonna be the story for any game we play from here on out. We probably aren't going to be more talented than any team the rest of the way but hey we did beat MSU and Purdue so anything is possible

If you want to relive the first game here is the thread link. We did not have Potter for that game :biggrin2:

In reviewing the game thread from November, most people went to bed and really did not care about the game. Those that watched it blamed Matta for his lack of recruiting and others said that Gonzaga was just too powerful for Ohio State. Others realized it was early in the season and were willing to give Holtmann and the team a little slack.

You didn't say anything in that thread until 3 days after the game, yet you're critiquing it now. Are you sure you don't want any trouble? :lol:

I will bet Gonzaga ML. If Bucks win, then OSU has a statement win. If Zags win, well at least i get a consolation prize. But realistically I think the spread should be higher by a couple points at least.
torvik and haslam have gonzaga as being merely 0.7 to 1.6 favorites. kenpom is probably slightly more. i don't see it, though. sure, we are a different team than what gonzaga faced the first time around, but their dribble-penetration game is just something we'd rather not face. they also have the length and athleticism to limit kbd... again. for us to have a shot, i think we need to be hitting from deep and we need gonzaga to be cold from deep.

so, yeah, if i'm bettor, i'm loading up on gonzaga -3.5. osu's recent play has not been inspiring.
