#5 Ohio State 93, #10 Florida 75 (Final)

sibert got a minute or two, so we effectively went 7-deep. maybe our weak non-conference schedule will be a plus. sibert, weatherspoon, and smith should get a lot of first half minutes against the sub-par opposition. we will need their minutes if the buckeyes are going to be a march threat.

55 to 34 in the second half, we shot over 60 %.

Florida shot 61.2% for the game and lost by nearly 20. :cheers:

Seriously, cut in for womens Basketball? I don't care about winning streak.

But...but...if they win 8 more it'll be just as impressive as UCLA's streak. Sure there are only about 15 good women's teams, but that doesn't matter.

 

[OSU_Buckguy]

how scary would we be with turner? okay, forget that dream. now think about how scary we would be with adreian payne, who would be the perfect 4/5 for our team.

Matta for President.

that was the most enjoyable game of basketball I have seen in a LONG time

I think the rotation will get to 8-9 deep later in the season. That lineup in the second half was on a roll and Matta loves to go with the hot lineup.

Craft with the play of the game in the backcourt against Boynton

 

[BuckFan38]

Finally we whip Florida's A$$.

Way to go Bucks! What a great game to watch!

Craft is a beast. He fought those backcourt traps all game long and didnt even look tired. We have some impressive freshmen.

AHAHAHA what an end. This is why no one watches womens BBall. Ucon up 1, 7 seconds left, 2 sec on shot clock for UCON and there is a TO. Baylor sees who ucon puts out and blows their last TO. Ucon airballs a 15 footer, Baylor slow to dribble up court, girl sets up for a 3 8 feet behind the line and shes short by about 8 feet.

I had already changed over to play Call of Duty

hell of a game...sullinger is obviously a beast but the way craft handled the press and the point is the most impressive part of this game...the kid is a stud...i dont care if he shoots less then 5 times a game...as long as he is penetrating defenses like conley did just leaves so many open shots for this team...and whatever thad said to the team at halftime worked...we rebounded so much better 2nd half...wow this team is really really good which is scary to think that we have only played 2 games so far...i cant imagine how good we will be with 3 more games under our belt...great win for the bucks :osu:

 

[Buckeneye]

E.T. again, cannot overstate how much I miss him, but I love Matta and how our young(er) Bucks came to play.

Starting #5 is a testament to his recruiting and coaching.

 

[utgrad73]

Matta on the radio next

florida pressed the whole game, but the buckeyes committed only 8 turnovers. that is very impressive. kudos to craft, lighty, buford, and diebler for facing their pressure. major kudos to freshman craft for committing only one turnover while facing the press, which was horrible call anyway (offensive foul in spite of being hand-checked).

i think sibert will definitely secure meaningful minutes by season's end. if weatherspoon shows out on the boards and plays smart defense, he will, too. i worry that smith's time off may hinder him from getting enough minutes.
