Over on George Mason’s bench, a few players were mocking Jared Sullinger, Ohio State’s fleshy freshman who was frustrated and fuming.
The Buckeyes were trailing and appearing vulnerable in the early moments of Sunday’s third-round game. The Patriots were getting physical, talking trash and taking it right at the East regional’s top-seeded team — the team with no obvious weaknesses — and Sullinger, who had three quick turnovers.

That’s when Ohio State’s center bumped Patriots forward Ryan Pearson from behind and whispered some shocking news.
“It’s over, yo,” Sullinger said, waving his hands.
And it was, yo.

Cleveland native David Lighty made all seven of his 3-pointers and scored 25 points, Sullinger and William Buford added 18 apiece and Ohio State made 16 3s while again showing that it’s the team to beat in this NCAA tournament with a jaw-dropping 98-66 win.
Sullinger chalked up his comment to Pearson as “the heat of battle.” In the postgame news conference, the freshman made yet another startling comment.
“We can play better,” he said.
Oh, dear.

This is why I like it over at ESPiN. I'm not an Insider there, but I could see it in the headline: George Mason defense can stop the Buckeyes.

You guys probably didn't see that one. Oh, wait, it's been removed from the front page now.

Nevermind.

Yes, I did see it - at least part of it, and it was absurd. The writer argued that George Mason, because of their defensive efficiency stats in the CAA, would be the best defensive team OSU has played all year. I'm pretty sure they weren't.

There's 35 points of the 47-point difference. I don't care who you're playing, when you outscore a team by 47 points in any stretch in a basketball game, that's fucking mind boggling...

Oh yeah. Sure. Run down the ESPiN experts.

I mean who cares that Pomeroy ranks George Mason as #47 on defense. That's you're IMHO! They were very tough and the refs probably threw this game...wait, how many points?...oh, uh, their top defense guy was sick...that guy would have made the difference...just wait until they meet...who is it again?...oh, yeah, Texas er uh Kentucky. Ohio State can't hang with SEC speed. You'll see.....
