In conference most games are close. You know each other sooooo well. Out of conference,if you're an elite team, you can usually impose your will.

I think everyone agrees in conference games are usually closet because the teams are just so famiar with each other.

are those the same analysts that said VCU had no place in the tourney?
The guys on Espn have a bunch of crow to eat. Especially Dickie V. I thought they handled VCU's inclusion horribly. Why were they lining up to take jabs at VCU and strangely ignoring the fact that Colorado lost to San Francisco, Iowa State, and Harvard? Hey Colorado and VA Tech win all your games and you'll get in.

Same OSU team that only beat Northwestern by 1 and then went to OT with in Big Ten tourney? You can't use your argument because close games happen with everyone.

Especially IN conference. It's stupid to try to compare them.

Kenny Smith is such an idiot. If you say the best chance of beating OSU is getting out and running with them, you have no clue what so ever. That's when they're especially deadly and I pray UK tries to run with OSU.

I said blew it open. A 9 point game is pretty close

as for the tourny game, it was a 17 point OSU lead when Matta pulled the starters.

You just have no clue wtf you are talking about do you?

You do advance after barely winning correct?

UK was easily the best team last year....until WVU killed them.

The only way to win the National Chamionship is to win every game in the tourney....regardless of point differential. A team that rolls everyone by 25 might not be as ready as a team that plays a tight game for several rounds.


This all being said...if OSU is hitting 3's like they have the past few weeks....no one can beat them.

OSU is good enough inside to slow down any game...

that being said, I think they can run with anyone

I didnt see Kenny, but I think he is correct. The only chance you have to beat OSU is too play fast. Unfortunately, GM just isnt good enough.

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.
