I thought it was a sluggish game from OSU but hey it's the conference tournament & it's not like there was much at stake anyway. Would've liked to have seen KBD get a bit more time especially with the potential of 4 games in 4 days, but it didn't look like the guys who were out there were overexterting themselves. It seemed like the team could've won more easily if they never attempted to give the ball to the bigs at all. Good to see Scott step up again and have a nice game.

Random observations:

1. If the officials had called all of Minnesota's sliding screens as the fouls they are, we'd have won by 20. The next actual proper static screen the Gophers set (NIT? CBI?) will be their first.

2. Officiating just generally sucked. Did they hire these guys directly out of the sheltered workshop? Minnesota got hosed a number of times, too.

3. Outstanding game by Scott. If he had that kind of offensive game on a regular basis, this team would be really good.

4. I'm going to disagree a little on Amir. Although his effort didn't necessarily show up in the box score, it's one of the better games I've seen him play this season. The effort seemed to be more sustained.

On to the next.

Agree with all those points, especially the moving screens. Amir showed consistent effort, but still didn't play as well as he could. Still, if he can at least be that good against Sparty we may be in a slightly better position.
