They probably don't think Conley can contain him:)

Maybe they should think about how he won't be able to contain Conley. I truly believe that this team has still not played it's best Basketball.

I totally agree.

I will also be interested in seeing if we play man-to-man or zone defense in this game. It seems like Matta has been playing more and more zone as of late. I don't know if it's because he hasn't liked certain matchups or if he is trying to keep Oden out of followed trouble. If the latter is a reason, that really has not worked.

It looks like this team is going to try to kill us on the perimeter (shooting something like 40 3's a game) so I'd bet a million dollars we'll be in whatever Thad thinks is best to defend the three ball. I don't think it will have anything to do with keeping Greg out of foul trouble.

The zone looked very good in the B10 Tourney. They really got aggressive in the passing lanes (for a zone) and are closing out much better than earlier in the season. Of the South Bracket, only a free shooting team like aTm (maybe L'ville, knowing Pitino) really scares me against tOSU's zone.

Anyone know if ESPN full court is going to have alternate games? I've emailed the website a few times and no one has responded as of yet. I'm about to find out the crappy part of living in Arizona methinks.:(

The Buckeyes hope to complete a six-step program ending in a national collegiate basketball championship.
A half-dozen victories on a trip winding from Lexington through San Antonio and finishing in Atlanta would mean a national title for No. 1-ranked Ohio State.
