Plain and simple Matta's accomplishments in three seasons have been absolutly off the charts. He has put us on a map in a big way. We caught the University of Florida in the midst of an amazing run. tOSU basketball is on the rise BD made it to the championship game in 2000 and lost. The fact that its Florida hurts but IMO their is no shame in losing to that team. Their bandwagon fans that want to feel what its like to win by associating themselves with that program when they dont even know their own history are the assholes that want retrobution after a win. These are not fans but piss ants that are dominated on a day to day basis by other more alpha type people. Im proud of our season everyone other than Florida wishes they were tOSU.

It does seem to me that while the florida players and coaches seem to know how to win with class, their fans couldn't spell class if we arranged the letters for them.....

Ease off. He's making a point and said as much in a post giving Florida all the credit.

And yes, Oden doing chin-ups on the rim should be a T. He's been lucky to have gotten away with it the entire tournament. The fact that he's athletic and doesn't look clumsy pulling his knees up has been his saving grace on his dunks.

Grrr... Took me a minute and I thought about it and you're right and that sucks cuz I hate being wrong :wink2: I am remembering the days of Shaq here in LA and it's always been ok, but then I remember that is taunting, god I hate when I am wrong, damnit, I am gonna have to go rep tibor even though I dissed him in a post, grr... :pissed:

Edit: Given out too much rep, Tibs, I owe you.

I don't think he was expecting Brewer's long arms. Brewer's a helluva player. I can't believe a 6'9" guy moves like he does.

No kidding. I take him in the top 10 without hesitation. He can be a Ron Artest-like player. Even guys like Hibbert and Green didn't disrupt Conley from going into the lane but Brewer gave him trouble.

I wouldn't be so sure of that.

If he played for the Lakers they'd be damned near unbeatable in the Western Conference right now with Kobe and Andrew Bynum.....

Conley said he's returning win or lose and even if Greg leaves. I'll take his word for it.

Though it cost us a NC it was refreshing to see 3 players put team ahead of money. Noah,Horford and Brewer could've cashed in but didn't. Then they came back and took care of business. In an era where players are so consumed with draft status even before their season is over. These 3 are special, even if Noah is a DICK.

Noah is flamboyant, he's said a few things that make him look dumb but he's not really been a "dick" in my opinion. Granted, I know a few graduates from Florida who wish he would mellow out, but if he's got an attitude and he's backed it up.

All the credit in the world goes to that Florida TEAM. Each player on that team was essential to beating Ohio State, because if Humphrey doesn't hit clutch 3 after clutch 3 or if Horford doesn't beat the shot clock twice, if Richard doesn't convert a critical "and 1", Green hitting another clutch 3, and of course, Brewer dominating both ends of the court in the first half, they don't fight off this Buckeye team.

Impressive run for the Gators. I'm disappointed, but not down like Jan. 8. We just ran into a team that had all the parts in place and all the pieces moving in amazing synchronization. Hats off to Billy Donavon. Hats off to Thad Matta.

I just wanted to say congratulations to the Florida Gators, I have to hand it to that school for just a moment. They have pulled off the unthinkable. I would be feeling invincible right now if OSU had just done what they did. Having said that, I am really proud of the way the Buckeyes hung around through every Florida run, and with a few breaks even just once in awhile, this would have been an entirely different ballgame. If we were even close to an average 3 point shooting night, there is a different team cutting down those nets. The reason we were in the game was our dribble penetration which led to countless easy baskets in the half court set. Throw in a couple 3's, or let Florida actually miss once in awhile, and we sing a different song tonight. Can't win 'em all I guess. Go Bucks!!

Whew, heck of a game.

If you guys haven't mentioned it yet, we would have easily won that game if we could make an open 3. But hey, that's how things roll, we didn't get it done and Florida did.

Great season Buckeyes, you earned some serious laundry to hang up, got yourselves more handfuls of net than you have hands, and showed that this extremely young program has a very, very bright future.

John Porentas just posted on the O-Zone forum that Conley is reaffirming his wishes to return to Ohio State next season in the locker room post-game.

Go Bucks!

That would be awesome, especially if Oden keeps his word. Conley and Oden with another year under their belt would be LETHAL. Let's see what Oden does...
