blah blah blah blah blah


ET gets himself double-teamed as OSU tries for a final shot, ends up in a deflection and Turner gets away with a bit of a shove on the loose ball.

Siena is much quicker and I dare say more physical than OSU. They are working like hell and playing with a lot more energy than OSU.

Have to take better care of the ball in the 2nd half, make better decisions shooting the ball, and get on the defensive glass. I hope Matta rips into them a bit about the effort out there.

I am really surprised OSU is up at 5 at the half. They have been out hustled and out rebounded by a smaller team. I think if they can attack that half court trap in the second half, they can get some easy baskets and make a bit of a run. We really missed Buford the second part of the first half as a second outside shooter against Sienna's zone. They sagged off of everyone outside except for Diebs. If OSU can keep up the active hands in their zone and ramp up the rebounding intensity, they should be fine in the second half.

Is the cbs player not working for anyone else? I just turned it on in indiana only to learn they're showing MSU... and the online feed keeps saying the video file is not available :(

You?re kidding right? Siena will pressure Ohio State's guards like there is no tomorrow. Siena will press and try to run to explicit Siena?s advantage in team speed

Wrong. If that's what you guys did all year, you aren't doing it tonight. Some half-court oressure and traps, but I haven't seen any full-court oresure with exception to a few made free throws.

And it is awesome, because that is the type of defense that would give us fits.

Can the REAL Buckeyes please stand up? I'm in South Florida and got to watch about first 8 minutes then they switched it to Wisky FSU so now I'm home watching it via CBS feed online. Seriously they need to grow a pair on the boards. I think they are getting some good looks I'd like to see PJ "spider monkey" Hill take a few more shots on the perimeter they are laying way off him and keying on Diebs and ET. Hopefully Thad will make some good adjustments at half. We are in a good position right now.

on another note do we all go to hell for wishing a beat own on a bunch of saints?

SNAPPY

Hill's shots haven't been close thus far. Siena is probably fine with him taking them, even if he does knock down 1 or 2.

Nobody on OSU has more that 1 rebound, except for Turner, who has 7 (!!). Nobody for OSU has an assist except for Turner, who has 5. With his 6 points, he's on pace for a triple-double.

11 offensive boards for the Saints. :sick1:
19-13 overall advantage on the boards and 9 more shot attempts than OSU (32-23). That's how you can shoot 28% from the field while your opponent shoots 48% and only be down 5 at the half.
