I'd like to see the Bucks play UD. They're having trouble putting Illinois State away though. UD is up by four with the ball with 57.2 seconds left.

UD looked good in a tough environment. Illinois State was 16-1 at home with their only loss to Drake.
Chris Wright was back tonight for UD. He had 9 points 6 boards and 2 blocks in about 12 minutes. He was very active. It should be a great game wednesday. I am calling this right now....Thad Matta will once again refuse to come out of the zone and Brian Roberts will score a ton of points. OSU will own the paint but if UD can get a big game from Wright and or Marcus Johnson, they will win.

That was a big problem for the Flyers all season. Poor foul shooting and turnovers down the stretch. UD lost two games this year after having a 5 point lead with under a minute to go. If they win both of those, they would have been in the big dance.

It'll go in the thread title once we see the announcement.
Bucknuts has this tidbit in an article,
But since Dayton won, I'm not sure about it.

I think Dayton might actually have the motivation to give the Bucks a game...anyone else feel the same way? Plus, I think tonight was the best that the Buckeyes have played all year. You almost never know what to expect so Wednesday's game will be interesting to say the least.

By saying that UD can "give the bucks a game", you are definitely under-estimating UD in a big way. On paper UD is the better team and should have been given the #1 seed in the NIT. They beat Pitt by 20+ points and beat Louisville on the road. UD was 14-1 and number 14 in the country until 2 of their top three scorers broke their foot. Both are back now.
Home court is huge in this game and I think the Bucks will win if they change up defenses and play box and 1 on Roberts (or double him off of every screen). UD looks lost when teams play a box and one on Roberts. Unfortunately, Matta hasn't come out of the zone all year, even when guys hit 8+ three pointers against us.
OSU needs to pound it inside and take advantage of their height and not jack up a ton of threes. Huelsman (6'10")for UD is serviceable but they have a huge drop off in talent once he comes out of the game. Get Huelsman in foul trouble and keep a man in Roberts hip pocket the whole game and OSU will win.
UD's best line up is when the go small/athletic and try to push the ball. Chris Wright is back and he can score in bunches. It should be a great game.
