  I have always said I would take Craft of Burke. Like Crafts defense way to much.

  Very good win for OSU. Gonzaga is a very good team. Bulldogs were far more deserving than a 7 seed IMO. Craft with a great game on BOTH ends of court. He is looking MUCH more aggressive offensively.

  Big win for Ohio State after fighting through the first half then Gonzaga tying it up. They live to fight another day!

  Absolutely he can as long as he establishes himself inbounds. No different than the player taking the ball OOB, who throws it off the back of a player, gets in bounds, gets the ball. Seen it happen many times.
  After seeing the reply from the front, should have been OSU ball IMO.

  Ha ha, yes I did. Forgot no one else touched the ball.

  It's all good man. I was going to tell you to go back and ready your post.

  I've been critical of Crafts game offensively all season because I KNEW he had the ability but played too conservative. This is how he needs to play for the Buckeyes to continue to advance.
  
  Attack, knock down jumpers, and find teammates. He and Thomas saved the Buckeyes from elimination.
  
  Sully needs to hit the weight room in the offseason and add a inch or two to his vertical as well. He dropped the weight, but didn't really add anything in terms of muscle.
  
  I hope he doesn't go pro, because if he works hard in the offseason I think he can regain some of his draft stock.

  I just read on ESPN that this was the first time in school history we've made a SS three straight seasons.

  Possession doesn't matter. It was a heck of an effort by Craft though.

  The main issue with Craft is it forces teams to play him honest now. Its not just his scoring, its his penetration that is breaking down defenses, opening the perimeter up more.
  
  Sully, ya what a poor game. Going against a 7ft player, he only gets 18pts today. That in ONLY 25 min.

  Sully got 18 on 9 shots, I'll take that every day of the week especially in foul trouble.

  That is wrong. Did it in 44,45,46 and 60,61,62.

  That with only playing about 25 min. The balance OSU had today, they are tough to beat. What I liked was it seemed when someone was struggling, someone else stepped up. They all had spurts in the game when it was needed.
  Only concern today, was rebounding. Gave up way too many second shots. Pretty unusual for this team. They have been good on boards all season long.

  Ya, was gonna say. They made finals 3 straight years in 60's run.

  Yep. They also made the Final Four 3 straight years. 44-46.

  There was no Sweet 16 in the 40s. Only 8 teams made the tournament.

  '60, '61, '62. Made SS 16 every time. Just making the tourney put you in the SS.

  Yes and no. The Bucks had a Bye to put them in the SS. There was 25 teams in the tournament.

  Yeah and lost to the Bearcats twice in a row in the Finals...Those OSU teams were loaded no way they should have lost to UC.

  Oscar was not on the teams that defeated OSU in the finals.

  I think Thomas showed his detractors that he isnt just a product of Sullinger. 10 points in 4 min without Sully on the floor.
