Amazing we were able to go in there and pull out a W like that in such fashion. Aaron Craft was just unreal at times. He made me jump out of my chair when he went right at Oladipo down low and knocked in that kiss-off-the-glass shot. Obviously, there was also the bank shot he hit to beat the shot clock violation. Moreover, his mid-range game was automatic tonight. If he continues to be aggressive with it consistently we can be so dangerous.

OK, the trophy is one thing, but the ladder...? Did they cut down the nets... after a loss? :lol:

Craft was fabulous - there were at least 3 dagger shots he made to keep OSU in and/or ahead late in the second half when it seemed like the game could go either way. Really happy with how Scott and Ravenel played, and obviously DT and Sam had some big contributions as well. A total team effort, and they needed every bit of it. Great, great win.

Huge win, as has been stated it was a great team effort.

I know the focus is on the regular season title and seeding in the B1G Tourney, but this win is also big in terms of NCAA seeding and improving the odds of the team getting into the Sweet 16.

I think tOSU looks like a #3 seed right now, assuming they win against the Illini, and then win at least one game in the B1G Tournament. To me it's significant to get a #14 seed in the 'first' round and a #6 seed in the 'second' round - the #12 and #13 teams are dangerous and the #4/#5 games are virtual tossups.

Anybody have a J. Cougar Melloncamp sighting tonight? It is amazing how he and roadkill Meg don't make the telecast when IU is in a dogfight. It will also be very interesting over the next 5 days to see how much heat from the national press that Crean takes over awarding the BIG trophy with 2 games to play. I would liked to have seen crean asked if he would be happy sharing the BIG title, but I guess he was a no-show at his presser. Still pumped about this win hours later.

I agree, but I would almost rather be on the 4/5 line if that means getting Florida or Gonzaga as the 1 seed. I think both those teams play into OSU's strengths. I would rather not see a team with a very good big man like Duke or Kansas or Indiana until the Final Four because those are the teams with good chances of beating us.

After tonight, I believe this team can make it to the Final 4. Now let's hope the Selection Committee does us more favors than 2 years ago.

Just saw the team didn't take off from Indiana until about 3:15 a.m. Tuesday (Wednesday morning) due to snow.

Game ended around 11:10. I don't know if a bus would've made it back to Columbus in four hours (in snow).

This may not be the best shooting team, but they make up for that with hustle and DEFENSE. Scott and Craft were great at the point, Ravenel brought in much needed energy, and Thomas did a superb job playing defense (in addition to the scoring he brings). What a win.

Last night was a total team effort. Yes, Craft was the driving force. Yes, Thomas played well at both ends. But Williams, who was saddled with foul trouble and never got into the flow of the game, had 2 HUGE defensive plays in the last 4 minutes.
