KYLE ROBERTSON DISPATCH
Daequan Cook, stealing a pass against Iowa, made defense his focal point in the game Saturday night after struggling with his offense the previous three contests.
Iowa was knocking on the door, threatening to break through, after hurrying back from 15 points behind.
For a change ? a pleasant change for the Ohio State men?s basketball team ? Daequan Cook answered.

The guy is writing for the UConn paper. Im guessing with the way the Huskies are playing this year, he's looking for a story elsewhere. He doesn't count IU as a good win even though they beat the Huskies at their place. He also seems to think that having less than a month to get into game shape should have been enough to dominate against Floridas big men. We were overated at the beginning of the season for sure, but I can't really think of a team right now that I would rank ahead of where we are. Woulda been nice if he had suggested some so we could understand his reasoning.

OSU, MSU set standard high for the rematch
BY JIM NAVEAU - Jan. 29, 2007
COLUMBUS ? When Travis Walton found out that the person he was talking to was going to be seeing his first game at Michigan State?s Breslin Center this Saturday, he had some advice.
?You?re going to have fun at the Breslin. Our crowd is kind of crazy,? he said.
It?s hard to imagine that the rematch between Ohio State and Michigan State in men?s basketball this Saturday night could be any better than the first round was on Saturday night at a sold-out and loud Value City Arena.
Ohio State and Shawnee?s Jamar Butler got the better of Michigan State and Lima Senior?s Walton on Saturday night. But just barely.
After jumping out to a 20-point halftime lead, the Buckeyes had to survive a potentially game-winning 3-point attempt in the final seconds to pull out a 66-64 win.

Buckeyes coach prefers inclusion
Tuesday, February 06, 2007 Doug Lesmerises
Plain Dealer Reporter
Columbus -- Fans unable to find Ohio State merchandise celebrating the most talented recruiting class in Buckeye basketball history can blame "Gunsmoke."
Ohio State coach Thad Matta was named after the character Thad Greenwood from the television western. As the Buckeyes coach was pulling together Greg Oden, Mike Conley Jr., Daequan Cook, David Lighty and Othello Hunter as a five-man class, it didn't take long for the group to be tabbed with a nickname modified from the most famous freshman class of all time, the 1991-92 Michigan group that came to prominence as the Fab Five.
So began the Thad Five. Now Matta wishes it would end.

Fab Five vs. Thad Five
Tuesday, February 06, 2007
With Michigan coming to Columbus tonight, it's time to compare the most famous recruiting classes in the history of both schools and how they performed in their first year on campus, 15 years apart.
The Wolverines' overall record wasn't as good, but they did reach the NCAA final, so Ohio State has some work to do.
