No. 1 Ohio State vs. #9 Xavier (Game Thread)

[JCOSU86]

This team hasn't bowled me over all season. Maybe it's all the "One and Done" talk surrounding Oden (and Conley). I just don't think they have heart or mental discipline.

lewis/cook, thanks for ignoring oden on that trip

The number of times they have not been feeding him the ball is criminal. They had a chance to basically roll up free throws on X and have thus far blown it.

Nice drive by Lewis... still time to make a comeback...

For all the crap we gave Ron Lewis in the regular season he sure has played well this post-season.

 

[korchiki]

he has been the only consistent person playing today

It's painful to watch this team on offense in the half court sets.

And Burell shuffles his feet to his first basket of this NCAA tournament.

getting totally hosed by the referees and outrageous shooting by Xavier = loss.....

 

[Flocka]

I really can't comprehend why we aren't showing any intensity whatsoever on either side of the ball.

I know we were hoping for more, but a Big 10 season and tournament title this year, not bad for a team lead mostly by freshmen, good season guys.

great season, i never expected this, its over. We arent players we dont know whats going on in their heads, so i dont think you can say "oh they wanted it more " etc... OSU just came out and played awful, Xavier didnt even have to have their best game.

Face it we are not going to get any help from the zebras on this one....

The game isn't over. We are still capable of winning this game.

Losing in the second round as a #1 seed is unacceptable. But the game still isn't over.
