Hell of a game
Bucks transition defense was awful today. They really need to get Willy going if they want to make some serious noise

It would be a shame of Sparty didn't get a 1 seed. The winner of this game for sure needed to be a 1 seed, and Sparty earned it.
I love the way OSU has been playing. This game doesn't worry me, a few dumb fouls by Craft might have been the difference.

Couple things...
MSU should be a #1 seed, but just as always...it may be better to be the first #2 seed.
OSU isn't a team capable of making a deep tourney run because they don't have the guard play. You have to be able to stretch the floor a little.

Just bad shot selections chucking threes down late.

It was obvious both teams were exhausted in the 2nd half. 66% and 50% free throw shooting is a huge indicator of that

Great game, but OSU was flat out sloppy towards the end and MSU made the big shots. That 3 by Green was huge.

I dont know, I could still see this team making a run. If they play defense like they're capable of I think this team can beat anybody

It was huge, but it was one of the few things he did today--Valpo Boy was the differenceAutomatik;1112640 wrote:Great game, but OSU was flat out sloppy towards the end and MSU made the big shots. That 3 by Green was huge.

They weren't more tired than Sparty, and they played the same in three days. I just hope you're not making that as an excuse, or being critical of bench play, because that's just not the case.

I completely disagree. I think OSU makes a good run. We have a very strong inside game and rebounding. Craft is going to give every opposing PG big trouble. And I still haven't completely abandoned the idea Bufford can make the difference. But his play will be the x-factor in a game versus a team with bigs who can match up with Sullinger/Thomas.wes_mantooth;1112628 wrote:Couple things...

I am saying both teams were exhausted and sloppy at times. Especially OSU at the end. Buford and Thomas played 114 and 110 minutes respectively over the past 3 days. They, as well as Sully, were obviously tired and playing sloppy.

I don't see it. This team doesn't seem like it has "it" factor

Truth. Still confused how we pissed that away. Matchups are everything

Neither team was more tired than the other. Difference in game was at the 52-45 OSU lead. OSU was on a roll and let up, MSU ran off 10 straight in less than 2 min. Way to easy. OSU fell asleep on transition defense during that run.
I am not too unhappy over the loss. Over the past 3 days, OSU definately stepped up their play.

I thought Thad should have called a TO during that run but he waited for the TV TO. Needed to change the momentum there and waited too long. Also needed to run the O and not chuck threes toward the end but yeah, I'm not overly let down by the L.centralbucksfan;1112788 wrote: Difference in game was at the 52-45 OSU lead.

Game changing. Attention to detail cost OSU the game. Getting back on defense is a must against MSU.OSU fell asleep on transition defense during that run.
