(5) THE Ohio State vs. (1) TTUN, Sat 3/15 @ 1:40p ET, CBS

At least we get some rest. This may be the best we have been playing all year and it finally seems Q gets exactly what he needs to do each game. Tourney should be exciting next week. Hopefully we get some night games instead of these early tips

Went to Craft and Ross in a two man game on O last two minutes and Craft missed 2 FT and a 3 and Ross split his FT.s One point in 3 possessions Ball Game. Scott would have been my choice today but Craft has been there before.

I hate Craft and Scott being in at the same time. It just minimizes the scoring options that are minimal as is.

I wish I could put Smith's indomitable confidence in his shot into a guy like Jon Diebler...he'd shoot 50 3s a game, but with Deibs skills he'd hit at least 25 of them.

Or even into Ross some games. For as great of a scorer he is, he doesn't demand the ball in crunch times at times.

 

[NFBuck]

I still don't understand how the team raining 3's was in the double bonus yet the team driving had 1 to give at the end of the game.

Yes you do.

This has been the B1G's MO for years now.

 

[Arch2H]

Not the first time he's done that.

In that situation he shouldn't have even been in. We have 6 guys who are better 3 point shooters...Should've been Scott, Smith, Loving, Della Valle, and Ross...

I really feel bad for him, but your right. He comes back in clanks 2 FT's, misses a 3 and can't even get that shot off.

Yeah but what we saw from Ross today is what he should be doing. Get to the rack, mid-range game and every once in a while a 3.

Diebs was the 3 point specialist this team desperately needs LSJr to be.

I kind of
agree but at the end it was all Craft Ross in a two man set up..Craft didnt hit game over.

You know the officiating is bad in this conference when you have nicknames for refs such as "Showtime Eddie" and "TV Ted" and they aren't even the worst refs in the conference.

 

[Steve19]

This team has a lot of moxie. They battle their way back into the game, when things looked bad the first half. it's very difficult to play your best game 3 nights in a row. I agree with others: go home, get rested, and get ready to make a deeper run in the NCAA that you would have if you want tonight. f*** Michigan.

Yeah I love Craft for his effort and all that he gives us but I hate how he tries to take over games in the last minutes even when he is having a bad game. Sometimes he pulls it out but I would of preferred to have Scott run the offense this game in the waning minutes.

Craft running the offense over Scott is fine with me. Craft shooting, other than a layup, is another thing. Distribute, penetrate, distribute.

I just wanted to get to the weekend. Everything after the 18-point comeback win Friday was gravy (even though it was the rival).

So part of me was torn (since it was the rival).

 

[Onebuckfan]

If this team wins more than one game in the NCAAs I will be pleasantly surprised

Then I believe you will be pleasantly surprised. I can honestly see this team winning 2 games and making it to the Sweet 16.

Look, I understand that college athletes don't have a lot of money, but that still doesn't excuse Craft throwing the game in the last 3 minutes like he did
