Craft is the smartest defensive player I've ever seen.

Fun game to watch

Does anyone miss more late game free throws than Q? Dude just doesn't have the mental toughness to be a star.

There is no player I've ever ever seen that plays as hard as craft. He's unreal hoe relentless he is

Yeah....just ridiculous, the one almost stuck between the rim and backboard like a horrible shot from the side.

My son played 2 games today and is NOT a good offensive player (4th grade) or shooter but was 6/6 on free throws. I just can't fathom not getting close.

Wow..crazy friggin game. Great atmosphere at the Schott! Can't believe OSU won the game with all the missed FT's at the end. Great defense down the stretch! People can say what they want about Craft..but the guy is flat out a winner! He was unreal today defensively. Anyway, MUCH needed win today for the Bucks! Great to see Craft and Lenzelle get a win in their final home game!

Glad to see Craft and Lenzelle go out with a win, and for Craft to end it on 2 great defensive plays. I'm probably President of the Aaron Craft is overrated club but I've never knocked his defense, the dude can get after it. His offense makes me want to throw the remote through the TV sometimes, but let's focus on the positives today. :)

Might give the team a lift in the B1G tourney but don't expect much in the Dance.

Osu will play completely different Thursday. It's just what they do.

Glad to see Craft went out a winner, but even moreso, that he went out doing what makes him so special. Hustle and defense won that game the last 3 possessions for OSU and it was all Craft, the epitome of what his 4 years have been.

When his playing career ends, is there any word on whether Craft wants to be a coach or not? I am not a fan of his -- but that's mostly a compliment, as I hate how pesky and effective he is as an elite defender -- but his high on-court and all-around IQ would likely translate into a very successful young coach for somebody.

There's always the chance that Craft decides to play overseas somewhere, which I would do if I were him, but sometimes guys with a heart set on coaching decide to dive right in early (I know Greg Paulus and Jon Scheyer are examples of this from Duke. Scheyer suffered a pretty serious eye injury after college, which hindered his chances of reaching the NBA, but he could've played longer overseas somewhere had he wanted).

Ah. Thanks. That answers that.

Another field where his high all-around IQ will lend to a successful career.

Which he can probably have 100% paid for just by doing commercials and golf outings and other shit around Columbus

HTF does the B1G Defensive Player of the Conference not get named 1st Team All - Conf? Ridiculous.

It's not that ridiculous. He's a very good defender, but he's not first team all B1G. Especially not in this year's B1G. Outside of his defense and hustling, he's pretty below average-to-average in everything else.

Don't think he was first team the other time he was dpoty either. He doesn't really deserve to be.
