The key to an OSU run is Oden and his foul situation.

If he's in foul trouble, OSU is lucky to get to the Sweet 16.

I think the key is Ron Lewis and Ivan Harris learning their roles. Conley, Hunter, Butler, Cook, and Oden are starting to settle in and do their jobs but Lewis and Harris just kill any offensive rythm with their untimely shots. I'm not too worried about Oden getting into foul trouble. At least not in the early rounds.

Lets see the brackets b4 making that prediction. We have a ton of talent even if Oden gets into foul trouble...If we are playing a team that is killing us inside then we might have a problem, but Hunter and Twig have proven they can steal minutes and the other guys can do the scoring to keep us in the game...

(1) Should make it:
Florida, UNC

(2) Have a good chance of making it:
tOSU, Wisky, Kansas

(3) Overrated and would need some upsets to make it:
UCLA, Memphis, Texas A&M, Pitt

(4) Have no chance of making it, even if they get hot:
Nevada

Hey where are the Cougs in your categorization? As I recall they are currently ranked #8. Are you confusing them with Nevada? The Cougs will make some noise in the tournament. Bennett is a great coach and they will not require luck to get into the Final Four. Although it is always good to have luck on your side!:biggrin:

I was using the ESPN/USA Today poll, in which WSU is ranked #11. You must be thinking of the AP Poll, in which WSU is ranked #9. I'd probably put them in my category (3). Overrated may be too strong of a term for them, but the way I see it, they'd need to go on a run and have some of the stronger teams in their region be upset for them to make it to the Final Four.
