Ohio State 55, North Carolina 66 (Final)

[Mike80]

Anyone a bit concerned that OSU is too 3pt reliant? Half the Buck's shots are threes. Of course since they can't make 2s anyway I guess it's not a a bad idea. Just seems like a good way to have a long drought turn the game.

Yes but no, not really.

Eventually the 3s will have to be respected (actually I think defenses are already reacting to it) and the lanes will open up for the drives to the basket.

Putting them home would be nice, but sometimes intensity in a young team is just as good as execution early on. It shows they are interested in both winning AND improving and aren't satisfied.

Too many careless turnovers this half

here we go again in the second half

looks just like the A&M game

Nothing will ever look like the A&M game.

Twigs misses the 3.

got to love the UNC fans, I took a trip over to their board to see what they were saying and saw this beauty of a post

"We're not losing this game. They are absolutely terrible. Just throw Marcus on that lucky white kid and we'll be fine."

More southern genius.

Kuofos needs to step up. He only has 4 points.

 

[NastyDogg72]

Need Koufos to come off the bench and have an impact inside.

nothing going right

ball that should had been a turnover falls right back into a UNC players hands for an easy basket

 

[Buckeyedynasty]

51-42 bad guys.

 

[OregonBuckeye]

It's a one-man team right now. Somebody has to help out Butler.

 

[buckeyemania11]

lol this is terrible

3-21 in the second half

 

[OHSportsFan]

does this team care about shot selection?

 

[NastyDogg72]

They are getting beat to every loose ball. Lighty needs to change his shot selection.

We're looking very young. No consistency, careless errors, and not nearly enough attention on rebounding. We're getting destroyed on the glass and are shots are not very good looks. But, you gotta love the raw talent and energy. Matta has his work cut out for him, but if he gets these guys under control, I think we have a chance for a third straight Big 10 title.

Two games in a row of miserable second half shooting. Everything is getting forced up.

 

[Buckeyedynasty]

Haven't made a bucket in like 7 minutes.

2 of 3.. They were fine v. VMI.

I'll go back to what I said before the game, as this one goes on... shots not falling etc... tired legs.
