Ha I've been wondering the same. I know stubhub is selling them for a hefty price and the fact it'll be a big rivalry game or a rematch of last weekend will probably make em pricey outside the Fieldhouse

Well he's better IMO but not a whole lot. It's not like your losing out with Craft as your PG either it's just Burke seems to be a little better. If this was NCAA Basketball 12, I'd give Aaron an 85 rating and Burke an 87

In past, I have known people to drove over to Indy and gotten tickets pretty easy and reasonable. That being said, it wasn't against another top 10 team, MSU to boot.

I went like 2 years ago and got them for 10$ I dont think they can go for to much when I went to the final four you could get championship game tickets for like 20 bucks because all the losing teams fans have already left

I think Ill just go down there stub hub has some for 30$ which mean i can get them for prolly 15-20 tmr before the game

Here's the thing, people tend to overvalue scoring and undervalue defense and all other aspects of the game. An example of this is the comparison of Burke and Craft, or Durant and Lebron.

Burke and Craft are pretty close I would prefer Burke on this OSU team because he is a better scorer and we could use a lil more offensive power. Now last year Craft was a much better fit because we had scorers all over the floor.

All except coaches and those who know the game. Most of what Craft does defensively doesn't show up in the box score. He litterally had a dominating first half defensively today.
UM will make a run though and Burke will get his before its said and done. With a player like him, you want to keep him at his avg and not let him do what he did yesterday, go off for 30. But he will have to work for it. After playing 45 min yesterday, it will wear on him. OSU will have to answer.

Steve Kerr just made the Kevin Love comparison for Sully as well. Been saying that for a long time.

Pretty good start to second half. Always worry about a run from team down after the half. Gotta keep feeding Sully.

When offensive player is out of control, it doesn't matter as long as they have good position.

Call me a whinner, I just don't get that. Sully gets the crap beat out of him, no calls. Then they call that. He is shooting 20% less FT this year compared to last. Find that hard to believe with as much attention as he gets.

I agree to an extent there are a few refs who will just let anything go. Throughout the season in certain games he was mugged and couldnt buy a call. I think today has been pretty good though a few missed calls both ways.
