  Excuse me. I read that wrong. The event organizers say they are going to just brush up on "the weather" and become "meteorologists" to try to predict the event better. Lulz. Whoever these people are, they should never be allowed at a college basketball game again in their lives.

  Looks like Craft is ready to step in and put up some points in Sully's absence. The only thing that scares me from looking at the stat sheet is the FT disparity...

  Funny thing is, I looked at the weather on weather.com 4 days before they were supposed to play the game. I saw it was going to be a high of 67 and a low of 48, meaning after night fall, you would be in the lower 50's temp wise. I told my buddy that I would be surprised if they played the game. Temps dropping that fast on a court that was heated by the sun during the day was going to make it pretty tough to play on. It didn't take a meteorologist to know there would be a problem.

  Buckeyes apparently really struggling today with a terrible Rhode Island team. I just can't see these guys as a top 5 team. Where is the scoring going to come from consistently?

  Other than DT? Nowhere apparently

  Thomas is on fire. 17 points in last 13 minutes. Buckeyes up 14

  Exactly. Craft will do it occasionally. Smith will step up once in awhile. But this isn't a top 5 team with DT shooting 25-30 times a game.
