Ohio State-Arizona breakdown by someone who watched both teams

• Tiger2003

  

  ELITE 8!!!!
• Mulva

  

  Did Elmore just call him Tad?
• robj55

  

  At the beginning of the year I would have never thought this team could make an Elite 8, they have grown and come a long way.
• Tiger2003

  

  First time this year the Bucks come back from double digits this year.
• Fly4Fun

  

  I hope we don't have this officiating crew again. They just called the whole game way too tight.
• Ty Webb

  

  If I'm OSU...I would be hoping that Lasalle wins. Not saying either can beat OSU(I don't think either can) but WSU has a better shot
• Cleveland Buck

  

  I'm glad I was wrong. In the second half the Buckeyes finally played defense like we hadn't seen from them since the Big Ten tournament.

  Fixed..OSU aint losin to LaSalle or Wichita State
  
  But if they do..you'd know how I felt losing to VCU a couple years ago. Just have to beat a low seed and a team with far less talent than you to get to the FF and can't do it. Sucked lol

  Based on WSU's performance so far, I would agree. My audio feed was pretty much godawful but Skyping the game some final thoughts before I pass out:
  
  1) Matta is a very good in-game coach, made the necessary changes after Arizona opened up hot.
  
  2) Sean Miller is also a very good coach, and AZ was likely underseeded - and even though it is doubtful Mark Lyons will play in the NBA, the guy is a bulldog and would play on my college team any day.
  
  3) OSU might pull this off, not a perfect game but a well-played tough game....
  
  and what did Gottlieb say?

  LaQuinton is going to be a 20+ scorer for OSU next year. He's a better shooting version of Deshaun. He can score from anywhere on the court. Of course, he may give up 20 a game defensively...lol!

  Him and Thompson are really starting to come around.
  
  Now only if Amir has a miraculous jump between now and next year.

  Amir doesn't even have to make a huge jump offensively. They really just need him to play strong D, and get put backs on the offensive boards.

  I agree, but he just picks up fouls way too easily. And he just looks slow and lethargic out there too often.

  Looks like Bucks will play the Shockers.
• Terry_Tate

  

  I was wrong. Ohio State will be in the 7:05 time slot.
