No word on sat/sun, I think those time usually are released the day of the fri/th games.

Worst part is I am going to be in flight to Orlando on Sunday from 2:30-5. I KNOW IU will be playing that timeslot.

He hurt the team by chucking up so many ill-advised shots. He scored a lot because he shot a lot, not because he was playing well. The rest of the team shot better than he did.

ytownfootball;1408399 wrote:My guess is that it was part of the gameplan to have Thomas shooting and thereby opening things up for everyone else, if so, then it worked out pretty well.

fan_from_texas;1408414 wrote:I'm skeptical. He's shooting under 44% (!) on the year. His three-point shooting is also down from last year. He's scoring more because he's putting up more shots.

17pts on 6-19 shooting isn't something to celebrate. It's a reason to have anyone else shoot.

reclegend22;1408426 wrote:That's probably about right. I have a prior engagement on Sunday afternoon so I am really worried about Duke's tip. Being that you are in TV, where do you think the Duke-Cincy/Creighton game or Albany-Cincy/Creighton () will tip Sunday? I can't fathom it would be the noon game. I was thinking evening, around 5:30? Not sure if you would have an idea or not. I can't find anything anywhere.

Laley23;1408435 wrote:I honestly have no clue. Sunday doesnt go into the late evening like Thurs/Fri/Sat though. Im HOPING IU is the early game so I can watch it at the airport or the late game which is at like 5pm usually, IIRC.

sleeper;1408452 wrote:Matta is playing with fire. If Thomas ever hits on all the chuck shots, Ohio State will blow teams out. Ohio State wins because they play great defense not because they are efficient scorers. It'll come back to bite us when it counts most and I guess you are okay with that because we are obsessed with DeChuck Thomas.

se-alum;1408466 wrote:It would be different if OSU had someone else that could score consistently, but the don't. Just recently have Thompson and Ross looked like they could give this team some scoring. Opposing coaches are going to game plan for Thomas, which gives the other guys opportunities, if Thomas wasn't in there, they would struggle greatly to put the ball in the basket.
