Good Game Ohio State
just thought id say good game and good luck in the rest of the tourney. You have a bunch of good classy fans for the most part and a great team. I hope we at least gave you a good first round game. Im proud of our team they played with alot of heart and gave it all we could but Oden is a beast man. we are an up and coming program and hope one day to truly compete on the top level.But good luck the rest of the tourney, hopefully ill be able to say we lost to the national champions.
And sorry to those who bet against the spread. I told you all not to cause we would play the whole game the best we could
Goodluck OSU!

Thanks for stopping by afterwards... I hope your rationale holds up! :)
Your guys played hard despite OSU hitting on almost all cylinders. I was impressed with the heart they showed out there.

LEXINGTON, Ky. ? Daequan Cook heard Greg Oden beg.
"Before I even got the ball, Greg was yelling, 'Off the glass! Off the glass!' " Cook said of fellow Ohio State freshman Greg Oden. "That was just my instinct to throw it off the glass for him."

LEXINGTON, Ky. ? Turns out the Ohio State basketball team hasn't forgotten how to hit a 3-pointer.
Despite center Greg Oden's recent surge and a dip in outside shooting, Ohio State did most of its damage Thursday night from beyond the arc.

This time it's Goliath
OSU whips underdog Central Connecticut State
By Marla Ridenour
Beacon Journal sportswriter
LEXINGTON, KY. - Boston Celtics general manager Danny Ainge wouldn't admit it was a two-fer.
Ainge sat in the third row at Rupp Arena Thursday to watch his son Austin play for BYU against Xavier in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. And he got a good look at Ohio State's 7-foot freshman Greg Oden, who could be wearing Celtic green in June because the franchise currently holds the second-worst record in the NBA.

Well-served by Butler
Guard's hot night helps Buckeyes coast in opener
Friday, March 16, 2007 Doug Lesmerises
Plain Dealer Reporter
Lexington, Ky. -- Greg Oden's eyes widened in amazement as he told the story of the Ohio State practice earlier this season when Jamar Butler hit 92 out of 100 3-pointers.
"He does that normally," Oden said. "So I know he can always do it."

Oden unfazed as first-half decoy
Friday, March 16, 2007Bill Livingston
Plain Dealer Columnist
Lexington, Ky.- No space. No place to go. Elbows in his chest. Defenders on his back.
Greg Oden is his name. When he dunks, he could be nailing thunder with a hammer. But Ohio State's 7-foot freshman center knew his first game in the NCAA Tournament would be played in a broom closet. It is what physically overmatched 16th seeds do in the Big Dance. Pack bodies in the paint and pray for misses.

Oden, Buckeyes assert themselves
Friday, March 16, 2007
By WILL GRAVES
AP Sports Writer
LEXINGTON, Ky. Greg Oden grabbed the ball off the backboard, slammed it through the net and screamed. It was the kind of athletic, powerful play that's come to symbolize the Ohio State freshman's considerable talent.
Too bad it didn't count.
A Central Connecticut foul before the shot wiped out the dunk, one of the few times Oden and the top-seeded Buckeyes were stopped during their 78-57 win over the Blue Devils on Thursday in the opening round of the South Regional.

Oden finished with 19 points and 10 rebounds - his 12th double-double of the season - as the Buckeyes won, 78-57, in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
