Round of 32: (8) George Mason vs. (1) Ohio State - Sunday, 5:15 PM

• devil1197

  Craft has 13 assists, he is just finding everyone open.
  
  Some of these shots are contested, but damn 16 three pointers?

  Are you guys ok with that?

  If this were a game in January against Iowa, it may be a dick move.
  
  But it's the NCAA tourney. You don't let up.

  How can you blame OSU for shooting all these? They're wide open lol And if they're going to go in, might as well save your body and shoot jumpers all afternoon instead of slashing to the bucket.
• devil1197

  The sad thing is they aren't even going through one of the best players in the nation in Sullinger. This is all off picks and set up by Craft.
• devil1197

  Sibert is in now.

  I was talking about if UofM and MSU tried to run with them, not those other teams.
  
  I also am solely talking about beating them from here on out. So, Im looking at UNC and UK match-ups. If they want to win, they have to run and try to stay hot with their guard and outscore OSU, if they slow it down, OSU will grind out a 10 pt win versus either of them, every time.
  
  If you are a team who knows how to play slow, that is obviously the best chance. I just dont think a fast paced team is going to have success changing their style against OSU.

  
  I pretty much agree with this....UNC and Kentucky are not going to change what they do....they will run. I think any team just has to hope for an off night by OSU because they are the cream of the crop.

  2 Cities dunks are so much fun

  OSU is shooting near 50% for the whole year, an "off night" for OSU is gonna be still pretty good
• devil1197

  Good minutes for Jordan here. He needs the tournament play.

  lol wtf was that?!

  I mean, even even 2 Cities and Thomas have gotta be having Caliperi thinking

  Right, when you play a team that is better than you, like OSU is to everyone in the field. I dont think you find success by changing YOUR game, just because you think it will change THEIR game. Either way, your likely to lose. But in case of an off night, youd rather be comfortable with your tempo and have the chance to play really, really well and pull the upset. You are just likely to be out of sync as a running team trying to hold the ball for 25 seconds a possession.

  I'll give you the fact that teams shouldn't change who they've been all year long come tourney time. But at the same time, I just don't think any team wants to get into a track meet/shoot-out with OSU. You play to OSU's strengths that way. I honestly haven't watched UNC all year long (I just never found time to catch one of their games) but I just don't see UK running with OSU paying off for them. We'll find out soon, I guess.

  I think that was about 3 travels, 2 tie ups, and what looked to be a timeout called.

  Agreed. I always like seeing him in there. You never know when we might need him this year and you're also giving him some nice experience for years to come.

  100 points = free tacos????

  Craft dropped 14 dimes today, pretty good for a Freshman.

  On a side note, I think Illinois will upset Kansas. Now watch them lose by 20 since I said that lol.
