Not sure about anyone else but I often think to myself what could have been if DeShaun Thomas would have stayed. I felt that way a few years ago when Turner left but at least Turner was a top 2 pick in the draft I never will understand why Thomas left early I guess maybe he just didn't like being in college or something.

It had nothing to do with not liking college. It had everything to do with having a little mouth to feed and hitting his ceiling as a player.

Or maybe he thought he had a chance in the NBA. It doesn't always work out. Thomas will have plenty of more opportunities to come back and once he does, I think he will be a solid contributor in the NBA.

Stuff those officials and TV announcers someplace where they can never be found again.

I know that Ohio State did not play any teams with a big man the caliber of Hammons bbefore conference season began but I do not understand why Thad did not play his smaller lineup a little bit before the conference season began. It would have given the guys a little more opportunity to play together. Not knocking Matta at all but I just wonder what he would say about that.

Very nice game by Loving for a freshman. Made some key three-point shots when they were needed. Nothing needs to be said about Craft which has not been said already. The kid is simply amazing..

Buckeyes made 25-of-43 on 2-point shots, and 4-of-22 on threes. Wonder where they should be looking for shots? :so:

They usually do not shoot that bad from three-point land and most of the shots were uncontested. However,, I think they rushed a lot of those attempts and might have been better off to work the ball around a little and get a nice little two pointer instead of settling for the Rushed three-pointer

We really need to get over this type of thinking. This is a brand-new team and the guys are giving it their best effort. I mean they have not lost a game yet. Jerry Lucas also has one year left of eligibility.. Maybe we can get him back for one more year.. Quite a few teams have lost very good players to the NBA so we need to get over it just like they need to get over it.

End of Rant.
