Jesus watching this last few seconds on gamecast was painful. Letting them shootand make a 3 in 4 seconds. My poor heart.

But hopefully this finally shakes Buford out of the big game funk he's been in since UK and he'll come up big down the stretch.

I love Dakich. And he called it how he saw it. Said he was the weak link on D. Gave his analysis and is just being straight-forward with his viewers. Jmo.

To me, it's the same as the difference between criticizing a Buckeye and bashing a Buckeye here. There are ways to be critical without being demeaning. His criticism crossed that line, in my opinion.

Thomas is NOT a great defender, he may not even be a good defender, but he has worked hard to improve to the point that he's at right now. Dakich made it sound like Thomas wasn't trying and didn't even care.

Starting to get worried as March slowly creeps up. I know It's late to be tinkering with rotations & the line up but I think Matta has to do something to give us a real chance at a final 4 spot.

I know It seems drastic. I think we have to X factors sitting on the bench that could really help

6"11 Amir Williams

6"8 LaQuinton Ross

Can't teach that type of size & length

You have to find a way to get these guys on the floor. It's a big risk throwing them into the fire this late , But at the end of the day It's basketball & two very talented players. Especially Ross , 6'8 on the perimiter with a stroke like he has. That's big time

Amir protecting Sullinger in the paint. Let him be the garbage man and get those easy buckets when Sully gets doubled/triple teamed. Deshaun Is going to get eatin alive on the glass & in the paint against a equally talented team. We all know it , Let him come off the bench and get buckets and bring momentum If needed.

Not trying to be negative Nancy here. But with this squad It's final 4 or bust honestly. And certain parts of this current rotation has me worried.

Solid effort by your Bucks tonight, great game by Buford. We were undermanned and couldn't get a board to save our lives, and probably won't make the tournament, but hopefully we gained a little respect this evening from Buckeye players and faithful. Took a hot shooting night to keep it close, but, I'd rather lose by 3 than 25.
