All depends on who you talk to. I am sure some will be criticizing Matta, Sully and Buford no matter what! ;)

I really hope that's the shot in the arm this team needs going into the postseason. Loved seeing Buford wanting to take control and actually doing it, loved the fight they had, and made me eat my words from the beginning of the game. Wasn't sure they had it in them to get this win, but great to see them actually get a win in a tough game on the road like that.

Does this make OSU the #1 seed in the BIG tournament?

This might be the biggest win of the season. Even bigger than Duke. Winning at Mich St is tough and they are ranked in the top 5 nationally. Hopefully this carries over into both the Big Ten and NCAA tourny.

My heart wants to say the Bucks by 2 but my brain is saying Sparty by 3 or 4 possessions.

My heart was right!

No. No matter what happened today Sparty had it locked up.

What this should do, is secure a #2 for NCAA.

I wouldnt be so sure about that. That 2nd half was some of the best 20 minutes of bball that OSU has played in 2012

It SHOULD, but a no win B1G tourny would hurt.

Meaning losing their first game.

If they win the B1G Tourney, they could sneak into that 4th #1 if Kansas or UNC chokes in their conf. tourneys.

I am sure glad this team didn't fold. They showed some toughness today that hasn't been seen for a while. Looked shakey early, but stayed together. Glad to FINALLY see this.

Buford proved me wrong, I was on his case first half. He played out of his mind today and brought OSU back.

Also big love to Ravenel. He kept OSU in it with big minutes and Defense.

Third straight Big Ten title. 5th in 7 years. I'll take it.

Long shot. Don't see that happening. I'll take the #2 and run with it.

No question, this is EASILY the best win of season. I dont' believe anyone was within double digits of MSU at home.

Not much difference between a 1 or 2 in the NCAA tourney.

It would take Duke losing also. And Sparty losing early.

How do they determine this? They split with both Mich St and Mich. And have a better overall record than both.

Duke should be below OSU in about any kind of ranking/statistics you look at right now. Yes, still some time to determine some seeds. But the committee looks at the regular season much more closely than the conference tourneys.
