Would be nice to see him emulate the performance of the lone senior on OSU's other BBall squad.

But this is Wisconsin.

Just get the W.

Hope the crowd brings the house down when he is introduced.

I don't hate Will, except for sometimes, when I kinda do. :lol:

He's been nothing but a good young man, no matter how head-scratching his senior season has been. I'll miss him (except for those times when I won't....)

Yep. But I also think that Buford may be interpreting frustration with "hate sometimes"... it's the same frustration that he has, his inconsistency. Both the fans and Will know that when he is on no one can stop him but when he is off he makes bad decisions. That is frustrating to watch because even when he isn't knocking down shots Buford can still make a difference doing other things on both sides of the ball but he lets his offensive inefficiency get to him at times. Here's hoping that tomorrow vs. Wisconsin starts a string of 15+ppg that lasts until the first weekend in April... go out big Will!

Anyone that has bad feelings for William Buford isn't a fan. He's done nothing but represent Ohio State well on and off the court.

BBuford?s inconsistent play has made him a target for blame
By Bob Baptist
The Columbus Dispatch Sunday February 26, 2012

Father knew best.

?Before the season started, I told him, ?This is going to be your hardest season,? ? the father of Ohio State senior William Buford said last week.

William Buford Sr. told his son he wasn?t going to be the Player of the Year in the Big Ten because, if any Ohio State player was, it would be star center Jared Sullinger.

He also told his son he wasn?t going to be the conference?s Defensive Player of the Year, either, because if any of his teammates was, it would be disruptive guard Aaron Craft.

What did Buford Sr. foresee for his son?

?You?re the only senior,? he told him, ?so when you have a bad game, you?re getting blamed.?

How?s that for a premonition?

COLUMBUS, Ohio — William Buford has heard it all during his four years at Ohio State.

He shoots to often or not enough, too early in the shot clock or with a defender too close.

When he is on, Buford is nearly uncontainable, and the Buckeyes are virtually unbeatable. In fact, they have lost only one game in the last two seasons when Buford scores double-figures and shoots at least 40 percent from the floor.

As he prepares for the final home game of his collegiate career against Wisconsin this Sunday, Buford is hoping that is how Ohio State fans will remember his four years in Columbus.

“I hope it's a good memory,” Buford said Friday.

“I know they hate me sometimes, but I hope it's a good memory.”

Ohio State fans don’t actually hate Buford, at least not the rational ones who have watched him progress from a shy young freshman who wanted to come in and do nothing other than shoot the ball.
