tOSU -14.5 at S Carolina (ov/un 128.5) Sat noon ET, ESPN

[buckeyes_rock]

Thomas was 13-16 from the field...he was simply outstanding shooting the ball today. Comparing his shot selection last year and this year is like night and day. I love that little mid range pull up that he's just about perfected. Good stuff from DT!

Deshaun Thomas last two games v. USC-Upstate and S. Carolina: 26.5 ppg on 23 of 31 FGs (74%).

Shifting it into the next gear. Time for him to shine on this squad! Glad he's starting to hit his stride. A prolific D-Thomas is a scary thought when playing alongside Sully.

Ay oh Deshaun! Talk about going Diesel...this guy has been so legit this season. Way to pull it out Bucks!

 

[CentralMOBuck]

Agreed. If he learns to control himself, he'll be very good. He had some good defensive plays.

Had a few rebounds slip out that he will get with time. Other than that I thought he played well.

I was mostly impressed with his offensive rebounding. Dude was a monster on the glass.

I flipped over to ESPN to watch the game a few minutes early and caught Cris Carter at the end of Sunday Countdown or whatever the heck show was on prior to the game. Carter said something like, time to watch some hoops, O-State baby! LOL

True...he had 5 Off boards....that was extremely helpful.

There was one where Buford missed a 3 and Thomas came flying in and just willed himself to get higher than the Carolina player...then snagged it with one hand when right back up and dropped it in soft as a feather...thing of beauty.

Did anyone see Matta after Craft saved it but S.Carolina got it and hit a three, he was just laughing and it looked like he said *uck me! twice

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Thomas 11-11 from two today. Yowza!

EDIT - 19-21 from two in the last two games. Over 65% from two for the season. Holy crap.

 

[Best Buckeye]

Thomas for All American!.

 

[Jake]

S-E-C! S-E-C!

I was at the game, left with 30 seconds to go and wow I've never seen an opposing fan base take over the CLA like that. Not only were there more Ohio state fans there but they were 10x louder than the fans we had at the game.

-Thomas might as well be Sullinger because he never missed. Wish our best player could be out and have some random guy put up 30. That's when you know the other team is 10X more talented than you.

He's referring to Thomas, in context, as "some random guy".

yeah, i saw that, too. it's pretty nice when "some random guy" on your team is a burger boy who scored the third-most points in indiana history.

Exactly. Really funny reading some of the comments on the crowd.
