Very who gives a shitzy, but anyways, Arap and myself grossed almost 20 million combined on the very bottom vB line.

OSU still lost though so its kind of a waste.

I agree.

It's a very deep conference.

It's a tough conference to play on the road. Look at all of the home winning streaks in the B1G and then look how we went to South Carolina (SEC) and we had more fans than they did.

Just finished digesting this one... And I must say right now, our team needs to pull their heads outta collective @$$es and get it together. And fast. The rate this team is playing away from home, we'll be lucky to get into the Sweet 16 come March, and there's too much talent on the roster for there to be any excuse for it. They aren't the same team they were last year, we have a lot of new faces, and it's time they settle were each guy fits, which tonight just proved that they obviously haven't.

You're dead on.

We're almost 20 games in and Matta is still defining roles, maybe to his credit.?.

Instead of being stubborn and settling on what we did from game 1, he's trying new rotations; like Thompson over Sibert, and Spoon getting more minutes over Amir and Raven.

I think Matta is still experimenting, which to me is understandable considering we had set-backs with Sully's injuries and Ross came in late.

I'm really not overly worried about this team. I still think they can win 4, 5, and 6 games in The Tourney but right now, there's work to be done.

Fact - This is the most talented Buckeye team in the history of the school. Will talent prevail in the long run?

I don't know, I still like the talent that the 06-07 squad had. Oden, Conley, Cook, Lighty, and a very underrated Othello Hunter

My first reaction to this game was -- This Ohio State team is not as good as I thought it was.

However, that Paul dude played out of his mind in the game last night. If someone is going to catch lightning in a bottle and make 8 of 10 three pointers and 13 of 15 free throws, there is very little you can do to win that game, regardless of how talented your team is. it happens in college basketball, every once in a you run into a buzzsaw of a guy playing the game of his life. Remember E'Twaun Moore from Purdue?
