Purdue at Ohio State, 2/7...Thoughts?

• Mulva

  

  Perimeter defense is optional.
• Tiger2003

  

  Byrd 6-6 from 3's. Another player has a career high vs the Bucks.
• Tiger2003

  

  This is pathetic.
• Automatik

  

  Fucking hell. Do we get smoked from beyond the arc more than normal or is it just me?
• Midstate01

  

  Fucking terrible!! Our defense is just terrible tonight. No energy on that side of the floor at all. Nobody wants to take over and make a play.
• stroups

  

  Byrds dad looks creepy as hell
• chicago510

  

  LOL @ our defense. bout to give up 80 at home

  Im not sure but I do know we love giving up career games to opposing team players.
• Midstate01

  

  How the hell is that on Thomas??????
• Tiger2003

  

  Byrd misses.

  Now Davis, he's gonna be a beast. Reminds me a lot of Dwight Howard at that age. Is he a lock for the #1 pick?

  I don't think Elton Brand is a horrible comparison. Maybe a Zach Randolph (without the headcase factor) or Kevin Love, but not quite as dominant on the glass.
  
  As for Davis, he isn't anywhere near the physical force Howard is. He's a great defender already, but he's long and lanky. He isn't a manchild out there. He's got a long way to go on offense. Reminds me of a more athletic Marcus Camby.

  Other than the Illinois dude, who else has had career/crazy games against OSU?
• Azubuike24

  

  Davis has offensive skills that no big man at 18-years old has ever had, at least that I've seen. He's a better offensive player NOW than Camby was in his prime of the NBA.
  
  He just hasn't had to show it at UK.
  
  Honestly, on a bad team, or even an average team, Davis would be handling the ball and shooting jump shots. He would be playing more like a 3 than a 5.
• Tiger2003

  

  Bucks are about to go on a run and put this in the books.

  LOL
  
  Come on..so in their loss this year, Calipari was just like, "No Davis...don't showcase it, we don't need it."
  
  You're the biggest UK homer I've ever seen, and that's saying something

  Yeah they both were shooting into the ocean.

  So 3 people in 2 years? lol
• LJ

  

  *facepalm*
• Automatik

  

  Anthony Davis can play the 3? lol
  
  I've only seen him play in a UK uniform and haven't seen much to warrant that claim, but he is damn good.
• Tiger2003

  

  Get Scott out.
• LJ

  

  OSU is just sloppy

  It's sticks out because they result in Ls, we haven't had many in that span. And going for 30+ isn't that common.
