It's on one of the ESPN channels tonight at 8 I think.

Which future Buckeyes are playing in it? I assume Sullinger. . . anyone else?

I'm still deciding if I'm going or not. There are still tickets available but if I'm going to get some horrible seats, I mind as well watch it on TV.

Thomas and Sullinger.

Id expect Sullinger to look bad in a game like this, and Thomas to excel.

This. This type of game doesn't suit Sully's style at all. You're not gonna see alot of post entry passes and back to the basket offense.

Yeah, I'll be surprised if Sullinger looks that great in this game. It's just not really designed for a player like him.

That being said, I think he has the potential for greatness but he's got A LOT of work to do. I've seen players like him that were just as hyped that were much further along at the point he's at now. If he works hard he's going to be a great, great player.

Excited to see what Cory Joseph can do. Him and his buddy Mo Walker could be coming to Minnesota next season.

I'm guessing Sullinger won't be playing now?

I like Cory Joseph's game a lot! He got handles, speed, and decent height to be a solid college point guard. I wish he had Ohio State on his list lol.

More Jared Sullinger Haters! If you would realize, or have watched him when he was playing in AAU and against the best competition, that is when he plays best. Hopefully he gets well, he may not play tonight.

Duke has only Kyrie Irving, which is great but still a guy short of the number I would like to see. There is still a chance Duke lands Austin Rivers, even though I think that at this point it is unlikely. He will have to steal PT from Curry, Dawkins if he signs, and that seems to be a huge detractor.

THat being said, Irving is going to be quite the addition to the Devils.

The match-up tonight that could be the most entertaining to watch is Kyrie Irving vs. Kendall Marshall. Unfortunately, however, they are on the same team.

I'm not really a fan of either team, but it's always nice to hear that the Carolina Tar Heels are getting smacked around, and that's what reports were saying about what Duke's Irving was doing to UNC's Marshall during early-week practices.

Duke's getting a good one in Irving, a player some are touting the best pure point guard since former Blue Devil Jason Williams was still drilling jumpers in Durham nearly a decade ago.

Yes, Fab Melo is doing a pretty good job out there right now. Misfired on that last outlet pass but the first one was pretty good. He definitely gets after it defensively.
