How is that lack of bench hurting UK this year? Bench/ being tired, so overrated. Only time the bench issue arrises, is if foul trouble comes into play. And OSU bench has actually stepped up in situations this year when that has happened. With all the TV timeouts, which are extended in length in tourney, there is NO excuse for players to get tired. Play hard for 4/5min stretch, you then get a few minute break.

Bench is overrated if your "short bench" can play multiple spots. For instance, Doron Lamb, MKG and Miller can fill-in at PG. Jones can play center. MKG and Miller can play the 4.

It's similar with OSU. Buford and Smith can handle the ball. Thomas can play the 5 for spurts. Versatility really alleviates the need to go more than say 8 deep. The elite programs, who generally have the 6'8 and 6'9 guys who can handle the ball have the luxury of a guy, for instance, like Kidd-Gilchrist, that in a pinch could play any position. Outside of PG, Deshaun Thomas can do that for OSU, so lack of depth inside is much less important.

Gee, how original, this has only been said 1000's of times each of the last 10 games.

Not if Thomas gets his 25, Sullinger gets 20, Craft gets 10 and Smith gets 8, or any combination there off. Then Buford only needs 7. 70 should win this game.

One thing not being talked about is osu's defense. It's pretty good too. It will get a major test. Hopefully one of the cuse guards doesn't have one of those patented career nights against osu, like so many others seem too.

I've always backed Thomas. But his interviews lately have been borderline arrogant. I don't want him getting a big head and laying an egg

Smith seemed to be bleeding a decent amount. Hopefully he can come back unaffected by it.

OSU keeps trying the same play with the post feed and a bounce pass to Thomas/Sully. 'Cuse has read that the last two times... Gotta change it up a bit. Attack and get the rebounds.

Backside is wide open off of that, have to be patient and make that pass.
