Dont know how it happened but OSU prevailed in my brackets. If Craft plays like he has in the BTT and vs IU then the Bucks have a great shot

This, and they don't have that "expectation pressure" they've had the last couple of years. I also have them winning it all on my bracket.

Buckeyes are playing great ball now and Ross and Craft are the reasons why.

My team is IU and I have them winning two games, 3 maybe...i forget, but they have struggled down the stretch and it all comes down to whom is playing good basketball and OSU is def doing so.

(plus I am also hoping in the very rare DOUBLE REVERSE psychology....picking my team to lose early and then a rival I hate to win it all.....)

OSU is playing the best of any team in the country. If Aaron Craft and Ross play the way they are currently playing; OSU is UNBEATABLE. Literally, cannot lose when Aaron Craft and Ross are lighting is up, the defense is just too strong.

“I don’t buy the mid-major thing,” said Jones, a Harlem native and the nation’s third-leading scorer at 23 points per game. “We played against great teams, we played against big conferences and we’ve won, so it’s no different from going to the NCAA Tournament and winning. Whether or not people see it as a upset or not, when I get back in that hotel, when we happen to win a game, it’s going to be a regular game. It’s not going to be any more celebrating than another game"

They do have two wins over bcs schools. Unfortunately for them those two schools are in the +150 rpi.
Theyre 10-6 against teams outside the 150.

In his defense, what the fuck do these reporters expect the athletes to say???

Although, no doubt it will be "bigger than any other win". That line is dumb. But the whole concept of thinking you will win, taking it as another game or believing you are capable of winning based on your season is a good thing to have and an expected response from anyone.

I agree. There really isn't anything else any of them could have said that wouldn't be taken the wrong way by somebody. They didn't dis anyone or guarantee a win or anything stupid. The any other game thing is ridiculous but other than that (mild anyway), nothing out of the ordinary.

Now, were they to be specific about something, say putting up big numbers on Craft or holding DT to 10 or less...that would be bulletin board stuff.

Yeah,

Kinda reminds me of Derrick Nix before the IU game. He was trying to say how MSU was being disrespected by the national media because he thought his teammates should be getting some love. That was all well and good until he said that his teammates were better than Zeller and Victor and would prove it...At that point, it goes beyond confidence and trying to say you think you and your team is good to being "trash talk" and providing motivation for the opponent.

It's laughable for sure.....but it's also the exact mindset they need to pull the huge upset.

I agree. Though usually they say well if we play hard we can give ourselves a chance type things. But at least this way you wouldn't expect the 2 sees to overlook them now.

Bob Baptist ‏@BBaptistHoops 15m MoMo Jones said outside Iona locker room he doesn't think Aaron Craft and Shannon Scott is "something we'll have a problem with." #buckbk
If I were this kids coach, I would probably ask him to pipe down a little bit.
