So many brackets are screwed up already. Temple is struggling against SFU now. i was 13-3 on day 1.

[BStowers023]

The state of ohio is 4-0 in the tourny lol.

[ForeverMaker]

Duke, lol.

[bicranium]

Man, Michigan wanted to "Beat Ohio" for over a year now and it was all for naught. Too bad.

[Forrest Gump 9]

Game time!!

 

Go Bucks!! Win big!!

[BStowers023]

Craft really stepped up and scored when we needed it today, glad to see some scoring coming from someone different.

The state of ohio is 4-0 in the tourny lol.

 

The state of Ohio still have all 4 teams in the tourney. lol

[JuicedH22]

Yea, I was coming in here to say, that 1 out of 4 teams in the sweet 16 are from Ohio

 

 

 

PS, Go Bearcats!

[bicranium]

First time ever 4 teams in the sweet 16 from the same state. Ohio smug.

[LJ]

DeShaun Thomas definitely OSU's MVP for the first weekend.

 

49 points and 19 rebounds.

 

Also scored 10 straight points in 4 minutes with Sully off the floor in foul trouble.

 

Thomas may be the best player on the team :gabe:

1961-62 the NCG was Ohio school vs Ohio school. Guess who won :gabe:

[AWW$HEEET]

did you guys hear that 25% of the teams in the sweet 16 are from ohio?

It sounds way cooler the way I said it.

[AWW$HEEET]

maybe i should re-state. if there were 100 teams in the sweet 16, 25 of them would be from ohio.

[bicranium]

1961-62 the NCG was Ohio school vs Ohio school. Guess who won :gabe:

 

And that's the last time OSU and Cincy met in the tourney. WE'RE COMING BACK FOR REVENGE BITCH

[BStowers023]

Anyone want to make a score prediction for the UC/OSU game? I think both teams will play solid defensively, I just see OSU having too many weapons and pulling away late.

 

Ohio State 71

Cincinnati 62

[TimTaylor751647545500]

If Cincy played the way they did vs FSU, we win by 20+

[bicranium]

OSU is just so inconsistent offensively. Don't know a ton about Cincy aside from Yancy Gates. Is he a guy who will end up on Sully or Thomas?

Gates should be on Sullinger. They have A LOT more than just Gates. The sweater man, Cashmere Wright, Kilpatrick who can light it up from 3,.......and a few others. Cincy has talent. This should be a hell of a game and I think it's really a toss up on who wins.

[99BlownYellowGT]

I think Cincy is a good matchup for OSU. If a decent OSU shows up they will win.

Gates is a physical center. OSU will have to play high-low with Sully and Thomas and make sure to not force it if it isn't there. Craft and Smith Jr. need to drive a lot and need to keep their eyes open for Sully and Thomas. The best way to get points is going to be to constantly attacking the paint with multiple guys. They play Gates and 4 guards and outside of Gates they average 6'2. OSU has like 4" average on them. People are trying to liken this to the UK matchup last year, but UK had much more size and even Harrellson had an inch and 20 pounds on Gates.

[Brrcats]

My prediction is that cincy will disrupt OSU's offensive plan, get them off thier game slightly, then win at the end with free throws.

 

OSU 57 - Cincy 62

 

 

 

 

 

 

Go Brrcats

[LJ]

If Gates plays man on Sully, Thomas is gonna have 30+ points

[Forrest Gump 9]

Bucks will crush Cincy tonite. I'll be very disappoint if they don't win by double digit.

[ForeverMaker]

Big night... can't wait.
