Conley penetrates and makes a great dish to Oden. After Oden is called for traveling, Lewis is furious that Conley didn't get him the rock instead. To me, that speaks to a mentality problem seen too often with Lewis (ie when he wouldn't pass to Oden posting up a guard... passing to Harris instead, fortunately for a made three).

Josh, I can't see the game, but if Lewis is showing that much negative attitude, then I would rather lose right here and lose in the Big Ten tourney and get this sorted out before the NCAA by sitting his ass on the bench.

This team has no time for personalities or attitudes, only a team that wins.

Why?

Without Lewis's contribution (5 points and an assist on a 3 pointer), Ohio State is probably losing this game right now.

The assist for a three was pretty lucky. Oden was wide open down low and he threw it out to Harris who luckily banked it in. Potentially Oden gets the bucket and a foul, still getting the three and picking up a foul on Wiscy.

I think he has a selfish attitude and sometimes the best way to deal with it is putting them on the bench. Basketball is supposed to be a team sport and i have found that sometimes players need to be reminded of that.

I don't know.

I think things are going just fine. After this game they have a week to sort this stuff out (until the final SCUM game Saturday).....

2nd half starts with a turnover by Oden

Whether it went in or not is irrelevant... you don't pass up Oden vs a guard 5 feet from the basket in order to shoot a 25 footer.

It's not going to be sorted out, imo. Overlooking oden has been a big weakness of Lewis' all season.
