NIT: #1 Ohio State vs. #3 Dayton, Wed. 9 pm at the Schott ( ESPN2)

My take on the first half:

UD could be in trouble because Butler hasn't done anything, Hunter/Koufus in foul trouble yet they only lead by 1 point.

Roberts played his usual first half. Great Defense and timely shooting. UD attacked the glass and Wright is definitely a factor.

Surprises:
*Searcy played pretty well after Huelsman got two fouls.
*Dielber only played 3 minutes yet seemed to play well. Great D and a nice assist.
*I thought Marcus Johnson would attack the hoop more. He only has taken it to the hoop one time and got a foul.

Overall...about what i expected.

What a great half of basketball......both teams playing hard and with intensity. I felt prior to the game that Roberts would get his points and so far he is.....I also felt if we could win the battle on the boards and the turnover war, we would win.....we are getting beat on the boards 20-11 and winning the turnover battle.....

31-30 bad guys...

:oh:

Did I hear John Saunders say - on a Twigs rebound, where he was fouled by a UD player jumping on his back: "and a game of butt-fuck broke out"

I don't know what that was about. Somebody with TiVo replay that and tell us what the heck he said. It sounded like "Buck-butt" but that makes absolutelty no sense to me.

"Buck Buck" - It's a game where you yell "buck buck" and then everybody jumps on one person's back until they fall. I haven't heard it mentioned since we played it one time a church camp about 20 years ago.
