On the Big 10 Network ... Pretty Awesome game!

Good game regardless of the outcome for me haha.

I remember watching the last six minutes of regulation and overtime at a RadioShack (I think) in Cincinnati, as I was on a trip to a convention and everyone wanted to hit up the local malls.

Great stuff.

Game should have ended with Oden's Mike Tyson punchout.

Was the Oden punchout worse than the Laettner Stomp?



Are you sure it was Tmberlake, Christian?

Timberlake played a total of five minutes in the game so it is a trivial exercise to go back and view the action between Christian and Aminu on videotape. Timberlake entered the game with approximately 11:30 remaining in regulation when Gimel Martinez fouled out. The fact is that they didn't have much physical contact at all during the contest. Defenses changed often for both teams during that span. When Kentucky zoned, Laettner moved out to the three point area. When Kentucky went man-to-man, Deron Feldhaus picked up Laettner. Likewise, Laettner didn't have to guard Timberlake except for one series of man-to-man and even then, there was nothing out of the ordinary in terms of physical contact. (Timberlake was also in the game for the final two minutes of the first half. The only contact which occurred between the two then was when Laettner inexplicably came out and hacked Timberlake near the three-point line. Timberlake received two foul shots.) It is easy to see why Laettner mistakenly thought that it was Timberlake who pushed him into the basket support, but the statement that Timberlake was "submarining" him is a total fabrication.

I share that opinion. Granted if Justin Cage was good for just one more point in the already game of his life at the free throw line it wouldn't have mattered.

I remember I was at an outdoor track meet in Cincy during this game... I can't remember if it was a big group of X or UC runners who were all huddled cheering and then they all just went quiet it was pretty funny to be honest because one of my friends said thank god they were starting to get annoying and they all just glared over at us.

pretty much was the whole season for Ronnie Lewis...

You don't know if it was X or UC runners cheering for Xavier having the lead against Ohio State?

Wow, you keep up on college basketball.

I've been trying to think if X was even at the meet. Obviously it probably was Xavier runners but don't you think UC runners might also be cheering for a X win over OSU? Sorry I wasnt too concerned with a group of 10 people to tell where they went to school.

Ahhh... the melodic tones of Gus Johnson
