Foul mess needs fix
March 21, 2007
In the New York Times, sports writer Joe Drape referred to it as a hard foul. On ESPN Radio's Mike and Mike Morning show, Jay Bilas said the kid flopped.
It? Hard? Flopped? Are you kidding me? Ohio State's Greg Oden fouled Xavier's Justin Cage with 9.3 seconds left in the Buckeyes' 78-71 overtime victory Saturday in a second-round NCAA tournament game. Now, I say hold on.

Todd Jones commentary: Oden will call the shot if he decides to turn pro

By todd jones
My money is on Greg Oden taking the NBA money, and who could blame him? If the freshman hulk leaves Ohio State when this season ends Thursday or later in the NCAA Tournament, he will get at least $15 million guaranteed from an NBA team salivating for the 7-footer's services at center.

Onus is on Oden
Thursday, March 22, 2007Bill Livingston
Plain Dealer Columnist
San Antonio
- When Greg Oden brings the ball down to his waist, gathering himself for a dunk, it often becomes a steal, jump ball, or a foul. It recalls the wisecrack of former Cleveland State coach Kevin Mackey: "Don't put the cheese on the floor. The rats will get it."
Opponents keep devising better mouse traps for Oden.

OSU: Oden no one-man show
Thursday, March 22, 2007
By JAIME ARON
AP Sports Writer
SAN ANTONIO Tennessee's Bruce Pearl is far too good of a talker to frame his team's upcoming game against Ohio State in worn-out coachspeak.
So when he essentially says "it's not Greg Oden, it's the rest of the Buckeyes" that he's focused on containing Thursday night, at least give him the benefit of the doubt and listen to his explanation.
Start with the background.

Oden: One Very Tall Order To Fill Ohio State Freshman Focused On Present As Stardom Awaits
By Mark Blaudschun , The Boston Globe
Published on 3/22/2007
San Antonio AT FIRST IT WAS SIMPLY that he was bigger than everyone. Much bigger. It was that way back when he first played on a basketball team in fourth grade, when everyone who saw him thought, ?He couldn't be only a fourth-grader.?
It was that way when he had grown to 6 feet 4 inches as a sixth-grader, and 6-8 as an eighth-grader. By the time he was a junior in high school he had grown to 7 feet, and people were talking about Greg Oden and how one day he would be a star.

Leave as soon as you can, Greg
Kurt Snyder
Ohio State center Greg Oden soon will have to make the decision Texas phenom Kevin Durant is pretending to contemplate.
When Oden's freshman season ends -- whether it is with a net around his neck in Atlanta on April 2 or with Rocky Top blaring from every corner of the Alamodome tonight -- the right choice for Oden is the only choice.
Get out of Columbus immediately, Greg.
Wave goodbye to best friend Mike Conley Jr., your Facebook groupies and the so-called college experience, and never look back.While experts and many coaches, including Louisville's Rick Pitino, praised the long-term effects of the NBA's minimum age requirement, the question must be asked.

Speed leaves Oden behind
Friday, March 23, 2007Bill Livingston
Plain Dealer Columnist
San Antonio -- For all the talk about Greg Oden, the game of college basketball frequently turns him into a woolly mammoth with the ice in retreat.
But spring froze Thursday night. After being down by 20 points in the first half, Ohio State rallied past Tennessee, 85-84. Oden was the last line of defense on the last play, but otherwise, lamed by foul trouble, he was hardly relevant in the throbbing game.
