But if a team like UK/UNC/etc try to slow it down, they will get smoked. They have to run cause thats what they do.

A team like NW, Wisconsin, Purdue etc can slow it down, because thats what THEY do best. But you cant try to slow the pace just to beat OSU if your an up-tempo team...you will get shellacked.

I thnk you have to play fast and try to take away the outside shooting

WTF does that have to do with anything?

OSU might kill you if you try to run with them, but if you slow it down they WILL kill you. The only hope you have is to be hot the whole game and run with them.

This

As I said earlier. Ohio State is one of the rare teams that can play any kind of game. To be honest, I have seen played better when they SLOW down the game against the Bucks. Not speed it up.

Bobby Knight agrees with this sentiment as well. In 1987 he said the only chance the Hoosiers had to beating the UNLV Rebels was to run with them. People called him a moron and thought they would get blown out. They beat UNLV in the Final Four 97-93. Knight knew his kids didnt know wtf they were doing in a slow down game, and that UNLV would get their points regardless.

Thats all Im saying. You might get hammered anyway, but its also the only chance you have at winning, even if the loss ends up a blow-out and a slow down might be a 15 pt game. You are going to lose the slow down every time, imo.

Teams have more success at slowing it down vs OSU. IUPUI, NW x 2, Michigan, PSU, Iowa, and MSU all gave their selves chances by slowing the tempo down. OSU thrives in transition.

If Ohio State wins a National Championship, his jersey should be retired. Even if they don't, they still should think about it.

lol you give me the "WTF does that have to do with anything" treatment after I mention games vs Purdue and Florida. Then you post this.

I agree with Thad when he said the Schott needs a David Lighty statue outside of it.
