5pm tOSU against Cal

[Bill Lucas]

Lauderdale banks in the front side of a one and one and makes the second as well.

38-25 Buckeyes with :36 left in the half.

Bob Knight is so right about that 6 point swing at the end of the half last night. IMO that cost us the game. I knew it was trouble when it happened. Gotta close out the half. Can't fall asleep.

38-25. Halftime.

Amazing what can happen when you actually hit the open 3's.

Edit: "Coach Knight"?

Nice first half for the Bucks! Up 38-25 at the half.

Stupid sideline reporter calls Matta "Coach Knight" and he gets a good chuckle out of it.

 

[Bill Lucas]

38-25 at the half.

Lauderdale with 6 points and 4 blocks. Turner with 4 points, 7 boards and 4 assists with 0 turnovers. Buford with 10 points on 3-7 from the field and 2-2 from the line.

Cal is winning the boards 16-14 but it seems like the Buckeyes are getting the important rebounds if that makes sense.

I don't think the Bucks have won on the boards since Oden, so I'm pleased when they keep it respectable, especially on the offensive glass.

Like how we played man last night and came out zone tonight. I don't like the idea only playing the same defense all the time, but rather adapting to what is more apt to work against a particular opponent.

Let's play another strong 20, get a win, and fly home in time for THE GAME. :osu:

Quick thoughts...

- The Bucks look more patient on offense than they did yesterday
- For the seemingly bad shots that Buford took he's still 5-10 from the field (3-7 FG, 2-3 3pt)
- Defense overall looks good... some of Cal's threes were really deep.
- Knight is infinitely better to listen to than ACC Vitale

My wife is happy she can stay in the room tonight. She said she couldn't have taken another 2 hours of Dicky V. I was pleased with the amount of love he showed the Bucks last night.

Since they have three guys missing including their best player I don't think we can make that leap.

Robertson, Kamp and ???
If this is the Pac-10's best team it's going to be long year for them out of conference. Most of their teams are young though.

The boys looked good in the 1st half. They were hitting shots that they were missing last night. Also playing good D.

Hopefully, we'll see more of the same in the 2nd half.

:osu:

My wife makes me mute the TV when he's on which I gladly do.

Listening to someone scratch their fingernails on a blackboard is better than listening Vitale.
