Wow by playing North Carolina, Tenessee, and Florida all in the non conforence we are all really going to get to find out how good these freshmen really are. It also gives them the oppertunity to showcase how good they are and really put Ohio State basketball program back on the map.

No mercy
Im not sure if we are doing a home and home with Cincy, but we are playing them in the 06-07 season and will likely play them in the 07-08 season in their turf.

I don't see the big deal with letting kids wear tights if they want to...guess the NCAA loves playing the power card whenever possible.

Personally, I don't see what the big deal is, but the NCAA likes to stick their nose into everything.......I kind of liked the look.

I guess this balances out the NC and Florida games nicely. Is there any chance OSU will be sued for using the word 'Classic'?
And BTW - why don't you guys who like BBall players in tights - especially those who 'kind of like the look' - take it to the Romper Room. :)

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
NCAA Rule Changes
I never did like those tights; however, eliminating players being able to call a timeout while leaping out of bounds with the ball to avoid a turnover is a good idea.

NCAA cuts short players’ use of tights

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
</IMG> NEAL C . LAURON DISPATCH J.J. Sullinger thinks he might have been the first player in college basketball to wear the full-length "compression pants."
J.J. Sullinger made his fashion statement.
The NCAA responded with one of its own — and proved once again who wears the pants in the family.
Full-length tights like those Sullinger wore with his Ohio State uniform last season will be prohibited in college basketball next season. The so-called "compression pants" will not be allowed to extend below a player’s uniform shorts.
The NCAA men’s and women’s basketball rules committees took that and other action last week. Also nipped in the bud was a trend of players calling a timeout while leaping out of bounds with the ball to avoid a turnover.
The playing rules oversight panel, which has final say on all matters, is expected to ratify both proposals May 30.
"The committee really wants student-athletes on teams to have uniformity of uniforms, if you will," said Heather Perry, NCAA associate director of playing rules administration. "The ankle tights, unless they’re for medical purposes, which the committee is unaware of at this time, is not part of looking uniform."
The committees also banned arm sleeves below the elbow "unless worn for medical purposes."
Sullinger broke out his leggings Jan. 30 against Florida A &M after seeing Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Allen Iverson wearing them in NBA games.
"I thought I might have been the first in college basketball to wear them. I started doing it just to have something else to talk about," Sullinger said. "Je’Kel (Foster) was supposed to wear them with me. I bought him a pair when I was out at the mall, but he backed out at the last second."
Sullinger said he checked the NCAA Web site to make sure the attire was legal.
"All it said was it had to be the same color as the jersey," he said.
Sullinger wore white tights at home and scarlet on the road — and heard about it from fans.
"They called me ‘Peter Pan’ at Michigan State, and ‘ballerina,’ " he said. "They said, ‘Take off your leotard.’ "
Sullinger recently worked out for the Houston Rockets and said his agent, Richard Katz of Cincinnati, is trying to schedule workouts with other NBA teams.
Former Ohio State teammate Terence Dials, the Big Ten player of the year last season, has been invited to participate in an NBA predraft camp June 6-10 in Orlando, Fla., Sullinger said. The draft is June 28.

Fantastic!
I've been calling for a change to that timeout rule for a long time. I think the ballhandler should have to have one foot on the floor in bounds to call a timeout.
