Getting huge contributions from all of the big 4. If they play like this, they can hang with any team in the country.

Great run here by OSU!! Deibler, Lighty....sweet!! What I really like about this...is the OSU defense is really stepping up and MUCH better then it had been in the previous two games.
And people can rip on Madsen all they want...the guy has played HUGE in this BTT!! He is doing all the little things that are needed!

OSU is looking strong. If they are hot like this in the tournament this is a final 4 caliber team. I still think the depth keeps them from much more than that.

When the Buckeyes play like this they are as good as anyone in the country! They have the best player in the nation and just went on this run essentially without him doing anything. Just shows how good the rest of this teams is besides #21.

What did I tell you guys.

All worried about tired legs and all that bullshit.

It's damn near impossible for a team to pull off MAJOR upsets 3 days in a row like Minnesota is trying to do.

Things are going bad for Minnesota, they could have called an intentional foul for grabbing Turner like that.

Eh, sort of. Diebler has to play like this in the tournament for them to have a chance--and he's been known to suck it up when they need him most.

I am happy to see the Buckeyes attacking the rim. I was worried that if they were tired they would just start jacking up jumpers. Looks like Minnesota is out of gas. They made a hell of a showing in this tournament though. I would think they should be at least a 12 seed in the NCAA.

For all the grief I was giving Diebler on here early in the season. I stand corrected. I was wrong. He has even started taking the ball the the hoop, defending and getting a few boards. Congrats to him and the Buckeyes!

This team sure looks ready to me :) Very impressive exclamation point to a fantastic Big Ten tourney run and a fantastic season.

Big Gain.....These Buckeyes have defied all laws of physics and fatigue for that matter haha No one should ever be able to go this many minutes without showing fatigue. They are robots I swear.

ONLY if TWO players get in foul trouble. This staring 5 is BY FAR the best conditioned stating 5 in the country.

Really? They have been attacking the rim all season. Its something I like about this team compared to others who lived and died by the 3. This team has good baskeball IQ. When not knocking them down, they attack the rim.

When this team rebounds they can play with anyone. After the rebound they have 4 guys on the floor that can push the ball and 4 guys that can either finish at the rim or rain from 3 in transition. The key is can they rebound against the elite teams in the country?
