Shannon Scott needs more playing time today. Smith and Ross both don't look like they are ready to play today. Craft needs to continue to attack the rim more and of course Thomas has to get it going. Better effort on the defensive end is needed.

One thing that always annoys me about Matta's teams is that they're usually fairly poor at free throw shooting, do they not stress this in practice?

fairly poor? no. they've shot right at the national average for free throw percentage pretty much every year. before you say that the national average is poor for a high major team that is regularly competing for titles, then you may want to look at the free throw percentages of the titleists over the last decade. there is little correlation. furthermore, you need only one hand to count ohio state's losses attributable to free throw shooting over the last five or so years.

also, free throw shooting is worked on during the off-season and outside of practice. the burden is on the players. there isn't close to enough time for coaches to use team time for free throw shooting from october through march. for the most part, good free throw shooters are determined before stepping foot onto campus. most players progress predictably throughout their college careers, whether they come in shooting 60%, 70%, or 80%.

Why is it, with the exception of ET's junior year and Sully's freshman year, does Ohio State's offense look like 5 guys standing around waiting for someone to do something? Are we really that "un-dynamic" as an offensive scheme or something? Can someone explain it to me?
