centralbucksfan;1054030 wrote:He is second on the team in asst. and the last couple of games, has gone above his avg. He didn't force shots today. I'd say he was giving up the rock just fine.

ytownfootball;1054032 wrote:Lol...no you said OSU won despite him.

centralbucksfan;1054033 wrote:Yes, I'll just about gaurantee Matta was. Why do you think those plays were ran for him? Matta called those plays.

LJ;1054036 wrote:Him not scoring much and giving up TO's. I never said he was terrible, but a starting "scorer" should do more.

LJ;1054037 wrote:Then maybe Matta needs more heat if those were his decisions, because they were horrid.

ytownfootball;1054050 wrote:And where, pray tell, did anyone say that? Look, you think Buford has to go triple double because he's a senior in order for them to go deep in the tournament. If not then exactly what? 18/12/7? I mean all anyone is saying is that OSU didn't win "in spite of William Buford" That comment was simply off the mark for the day.

LJ;1054055 wrote:He has to be efficient and hit big shots when needed. He has to be the guy to score from outside when needed. He needs to be the guy to put up 20 when they double Sully all game. I never said he has to get a triple double every night. Consistency. That is the key.

Laley23;1054056 wrote:Buford played fine. He was wide open and just missed a few times. If he didnt shoot, youd know his confidence was shot, and that WOULD be a BIG problem for OSU. Shooters shoot their way out. In past games, when he forced the shots, it was an issue. But he is a shooter and needs to find the stroke. So he has to take those shots when they are there.

centralbucksfan;1054060 wrote:I disagree. Consistency, yes. But he doesn't need to hit 20. Thomas can get that. Big shots? Sully and Thomas can do that as well. Buford is NOT needed to do those things. Now when all three on are, OSU won't get beat. OSU is the ONLY team in the country right now that has 3 players who avg. 15+. Buford today, actually got OSU going if you remember. Not garbage time btw.
Whats funny, ur ripping on Buford, when in fact, Sullinger may have been the worst of the 5 today. But God forbid we rip on the golden boy.

LJ;1054065 wrote:Sully had 21 9 and shot 50%. Thomas had some bad airballs, and Ravenal is worthless most times.
