Starting 4 guards will do that, ya know.

I didn't know starting 4 guards hindered anyones ability to catch a freakin basketball that hits them right in the hands.

Surely you jest, what a whiner

How is it whining?

Laurderdale has got to be strong with the ball....especially when in traffic and against a Huggins-coached team known for always been active.

And Lighty makes me sick in this game. Threw one pass into the stands when he had both Turner and Simmons wide open. Then drove to the hole and threw it off the backboard...it didn't even look like he was attempting to make it. And then on defense, he stood around when the shot went up instead of crashing the boards.

Sick? WVU has 25 pts with under 3 to go in half? What more do u want? Sheesh...can't please anyone.

Oh shut up, don't be a cock. You know me from the JJHuddle days and know what I'm about, so don't get condescending with me. You know I'm a level headed fan, so I'd expect you to know better.

The fact is OSU has given up way too many wide open looks from 3 range in this game. Holding them to 25 (28 now) is great....but it could be much less than that if we could get a hand in a face. WVU has been a struggling team this year when it comes to shooting, but that doesn't mean they'll miss the uncontested ones. You still got to put a hand in a face.

Just like against Purdue when Hummel got look..after look...after wide open look from deep.

Actually, you can shut the f up. You can't ask for a better half, 12pt lead, holding a team to 28. And Lauderdale played as well as he can. Yet YOU aren't satisfied? Get a clue and be realistic. OSU is playing as well as they can. You can't ask for more then that. If someone told you OSU would be up by 12 at half, you and anyone would take it in a heartbeat. When you play zone, teams are going to get open looks. It is what it is. Its also caused more problems and turnovers. Matta is playing the odds as he should. I knew they would be playing a lot of zone today, as they should.

It's not about playing any kind of defense. I agree, OSU is doing the right thing by being in the zone. But when you play a zone, you still got to bust ass and close out on the shooter. Lighty and Buford have both done a poor job of getting out to the perimeter today...it's not a flaw in the defensive scheme....it's just being lazy.

Lauderdale has played well....my only gripe with him is not bringing in some of those 'gotta have' rebounds that hit him right in the hands in the first half. He's the strongest guy on the court, so no excuse for not being strong with the ball. I know of 2 instances where he couldn't hang on to a rebound and it led to 2 second chance threes by WVU.

Reggie Miller said that the most difficult shots to make are the ones when no one is guarding you.
