2013-14 Ohio State Basketball Discussion

[Ohio]

Typical Thad Matta final shot. Unnecessary, rushed, forced 3 pointer with several seconds left on the clock. You'd think he'd fix that garbage.

That was on Loving. He had Thompson in the corner if he made the extra pass, but he made a freshman mistake. No big deal, he'll learn from it. The regular season doesn't mean anything anyway.

No. You gotta love how hard this team fights no matter what. They were able to pull out the Notre Dame game, nearly pulled out this one. This team seems like it has a special quality even though they struggle to score.

Of course it was good for them. I'm talking me, Team is sweet 16 & done

painful to watch the 15 minutes of that 2nd half

Right... Nearly every college basketball analyst thinks this team is a final four contender, but lets listen to your immense basketball expertise instead.

lets watch you get all diva. you snap your fingers too when you typed that up ?

show me a few ppl that picked ohio state for the final 4 because i haven't seen 1 person

our number 1 scoring option is Ross, who can't dribble , mentally & physically weak when he's in the paint

I couldn't find the link because ESPN deletes their stories quickly, but they had one of those 5 on 5s they do and the question was which conference has the best chance to send the most final four teams. All but one said the big 10, and they all said OSU, MSU, and Wisconsin were final four contenders. Jay Williams was talking glowingly about the team during sportscenter today and Dakich certainly thinks they're a top 5 team. They'll still be a top 5 or 6 team in the polls and will be a top 3 seed in the tourney. They are certainly capable of going to the final four, I have no idea if they will. Its a bit ridiculous to claim you know they won't make it past the sweet 16, I see no reason to believe thats true.

I think it's a realistic expectations for this team. I don't see the "special quality" that you see. I didn't say "i know for sure they're a sweet 16 & done team. you can stop watching them this year, it's pointless" I don't even know why i said it, I guess frustration. It's the tourny.. Anything is possible

We have no offensive punch. Ross ideal role is a number 2 guy and he only got to fill that role for a few games. I'm glad Thad is rolling Loving out here early because he's the most talented kid on the team right now. They need him to grow every week for be legit.
