Ohio State 73 Miami (Fl.) 68 (Final)

Great comeback, x-factor win for the Buckeyes and Big Eleven, respectively.

It all pretty much boiled down to confidence and intensity. In the first half the team was too tentative to take advantage of the obvious opportunities that we're available, whereas in the second half they finally felt the urgency, there was no hesitation, and more balls, and the turnaround was quick.

Wait to go!

Great game...

Mclinton swung at Crater...He had already swung an elbow, then Crater when for the ball on the pass, then he swung...Bitch all they want...That is illegal...You can't do that...

They were up 14 and were continuing to put it on us...I don't care what the announcers say we played great and beat them...They are still a good team...They went away from their strengths and what got them the lead...They couldnt make free throws and turned the ball over a ton...

And we know Diebs was the leading scorer in Ohio...You don't have to tell us everytime he touches the ball...

Now that I got rid of all that...

We played a great second half...We are going to see times when we play like we did the second half of BG or the first half of this game...But we are going to see more and more of the second half as the season progresses...

We found something on offense tonight...Lighty is going to find his shot, and if Diebs and Turner play like they did tonight we will be very tough to stop and once Dallas and Mullens find a little more offense team are not going to want to play us...

Huge confidence builder and huge win for us going forward...

Awesome games by Turner, Diebler, and Lighty. Great defense by everyone over all throughout the second half.

There's still a lot of work that needs to be done, but this team took on their first real challenged and responded great.

Love the talent and players on this team.

Lavin finally gave Matta some credit at the end.

Great coaching job by Thad. The offense looked very confused and out-of-sync for almost the entire first half. In the second half, they attacked, got open looks, and I think only had 1 turnover.

Give the Bucks and Matta credit for exploiting the loss of McClinton. We don't have to feel sorry for that (not that anyone is). McClinton learned a very valuable lesson tonight.

1. ACC refs WILL NOT under any circumstance call a travel on him and

2. You can't intentionally rake another player across the eyes.

McClinton cost his team the game.

We made sure they paid for it.

Great game boys!!!!
