Craft's mid range jumpers need to stop. He never makes them. Just hold the ball and be patient for a better shot guys. Also don't pick and roll to Amir.

amir is terribly frustrating to watch. he doesn't position himself for rebounds. he stands flat-footed. he doesn't attempt to rebound out of his territory. he over-commits himself on the hedge, forcing his teammates to scramble for the open cutter. if he has the ball below his shoulders, it will never get above his shoulders. you can't pass him the ball because his hands are embarrassingly weak. he tries to block everything, which often results in a freebie offensive rebound.
ugh.
ugh.

Ravenel is on today too. Hmm. Looks like we are scared to put Ravenel on Nix, Amir is doing a good job against him defensively.OSU_Buckguy;2308416; said:

Back to back HORRIBLE Lenzelle Smith shots that led to MSU fast breaks, compounded by a terrible Lenzelle turnover forcing a bad pass down-court on what should have been a good fast break opportunity if he threw it to the correct guy really ruined what was a solid first half.
Not many shots were dropping but the defense was solid and the offense was creating good opportunities. A quick 6-0 MSU run spear-headed by a guy who is supposed to be our veteran leader can't happen...
Shannon Scott and Aaron are penetrating really well today and creating wide-open looks...just have to make more. It's pretty simple.
By the way, the bench is playing fantastic. Evan played smart ball with the exception of a deep baseline jumper he should have red-lighted himself on, and Q is playing solid defense and rebounding well. Wish he knocked down a few of those open looks but he's doing the right things. Shannon played great.
Ohio State has the parts to beat anyone in the country, unfortunately those same parts allow them to lose to anyone in the country.

Yes and he is the only one to hit a 3 today. At least we are seeing improvement on his shot. Good defender too.Onebuckfan;2308425; said:

Any shot from Craft and Smith that isn't a layup needs to stop, I don't care if they are wide open. Drive to the basket and get it to someone who can actually shoot.

10 pts 5 rebounds is all I want..I don't expect another David Thompson though he jumps like him.

Wasted a good 1st half effort by throwing the ball away on consecutive possessions to end the half. I hope Thomas lights it up in the 2nd half or the Bucks are in trouble.
