I don't have a long history with college basketball, but that game was ridiculous. They probably called three times as many fouls as they should have. Halfway through the second half, an ohio state player tripped at midcourt with no one around him, and they called a foul. We rewound and watched it three times. Bad calls went both ways, but that was a terribly called game.

Congrats to Ohio State. Wish we could have actually seen it played out.

Im so happy.. Sorry if some of you guys are Vol fans.

You're a Buckeyes fan, a Cavs fan. Why are you a Titans fan? Just out of interest.

Well. Everyone starts likeing sports team for the rong reason right? Some of them like there hometown team and some of them just like a player from that team. The reason I started likeing the Titans is because of Eddie George. I never really had a NFL team and I decided wherever he gets drafted that will be my team. So yeah. Started likeing Houston and have been ever since.

Buckeyes fans are devil spawn. ;)

no way any team should lose with a 20 point lead. sorry vol fans(not really)

How about that Oden block at the end. Sucks hes leaving after this year. :(

Oden is nasty defensively, but he needs to step up his offensive game. They made their run when he was out of the game.

He switched to shooting right handed and hes doing a little better. He made 2 critical free throws near the end of the game.

he shoots free throws very well. i was just saying in the grand scheme of things his offense is his weakness. It seems like all he can do is slam dunk off of rebounds offensively. He's still a beast though.

I wish he would demand to play for the Cavaliers and say he wont play unless he gets traded. That would be our missing piece to the puzzle.

There is a reason he is considered the best player in the game. And it ain't because he sucks. This guy is the real deal. The Block at the end of the game shows you all you nee know. He steps up. You can name the players who do that on one hand. And Ohio State has two such players.

They should win the championship.

TN had some real scoring talent to compete, but Ohio State is solid on both ends of the court. TN was not. They were just better. Memphis probably has the best shot to beat them, cause frankly, memphis is just as big as they are, but Memphis cannot score. I watched them play UH and the only reason they won was because they were a foot taller. They only play big. And that won't cut it vs OSU. No other team can compete with OSU. I think this is the championship right here.

I'll tell you who can beat OSU, Georgetown. They've got at least three players that can just take over a game (Hibbert, Green, and Ewing Jr.) and they've got the players to complement with Sapp, Summers, and Wallace. If Hibbert and Green stay for their senior years (Hibbert has already said he's staying four years, we'll see tho) we'll be repeating.

Wouldnt it be funny if OSU and Florida was the Championship game?

OSU wont get past the Hoyas

Wouldnt it be funny if OSU and Florida was the Championship game?
no. i couldnt take another loss to the hands of the gators.

Well I meant it would be funny cuz I dont think thats ever happened before.

I hate the buckeyes, i mean they called a foul w/ about 5 minutes left where conley was "touched" by a vol and then he took a few more steps and tripped over himself and they called a foul on Duke Crews. There was some very sh!#y reffing last night. The vols shoud have won, but at least the vols have a bright future w/ all these freshman coming back and Lofton and J. Smith next year, we will be even better next year, San Antonio here we come...

Im not trying to start anything with anybody.. but.. if the Vols would have won that game you wouldnt be sitting here saying how many fould got called that shouldnt have been. There was some missed calls on Tennessee too. Just let it slide. What happened , happened.

:)) OSU National Champs verryyyy soon

I can agree that we didnt capatalize on lots of opportunities...(Bradshaw's easy bucket, Lofton's open 3 pointer missed, FREE THROW LINE..:grrr: ) But the refs made bad calls all game, just like in the first game against OSU, when Jamar Butler stepped out of bounds w/ 1.6 seconds but they didnt count it. And just for the record Kansas is winning it all, OSU will beat Memphis but then loose to UNC or the Hoyas. We will be even better next year, count on it.

What a choke job by UT. Up by 20 & they lose the game? That's pathetic.

By the way, did anyone happen to see UT play defense in the 2nd half? They must have thought they were the Pheonix Suns & could just outscore OSU.

Wouldnt it be funny if OSU and Florida was the Championship game?
It would be ironic, but as mdfan said, they're not getting past Gtown ;)

G-Town made it thru their thriller. But did not look good doing it. Sets up a terrific set of regional finals. These are my bold predictions.

Ohio St. 83 Memphis 72
Kansas 82 UCLA 68
Florida 72 Oregon 59
Georgetown 72 UNC 70

anyone else find it odd that the elite 8 is four 1 seeds, three 2 seeds, and a 3 seed? has that ever happened?

I'm hoping for a Gtown/OSU game, I think Hibbert could matchup well against Oden, and one of the guys down my hall is an OSU fan, and a week of trash talk could be fun ;)

Kansas was my preseason Nat'l I champ. pick, and im sticking w/ them. Against G-Town. Go Jayhawks.

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i19/crazypunk149/GIFS/65a2b10b.gif

And people said Memphis was good?

Are you kidding me?

Please Buckeyes win this thing. I cant take losing again lol

Please Buckeyes win this thing. I cant take losing again lol
Sorry, but you're still not getting through Gtown

Your wrong sir! Wrong! YOU LOSE

- Willie Wonka

I guess we'll just see next week

Yeah. lol

i dont wanna get too ****y.

i did with the football team.

and we all kno how that turned out :(

Oden changed that game. His influence was everywhere. That block off the top of the glass was ridiculous, and set the stage for the momentum swing. He never seems to be happy, like he's playing in angst, but he's in total control out there. He's a grade above everyone on the court.

I think he secured the number one pick with that game. As far as the NBA, I just don't know how good he will be. I think at minimum he'll be as good as Kenyon Martin just because he's so strong. He would need to demand the ball to up his level to that of Webber or Yao. The league needs him to be in Boston. So I hope he goes there, but Memphis with Gasol, Gay, and Oden could be Ferocius. Charlotte would also have some serious firepower for the first time.

I want him on the Cavs :(

Anyways. I know hes going first because how can a team pass up on a potential dominate center? You could be looking at the next Yao or Shaq. Im not taking anything way from Durant because the guy is beastly but theres just no way you can pass up on Oden..

http://osu.ytmnd.com/

^ That is awesome No Eddie :cry:

Durant will go second, nobody will pass on Oden, a dominant center is almost essential to success, every championship team seems to have one.

How is Georgetown going to beat OSU if they cant even make the final 4?

OSU Champs baby

Georgetown will beat Ohio State

Florida will beat UCLA

Cant wait for the game :grrhee:

GO HOYAS
:whoop: :woohoo: :icon_spin
I'm still trying to figure out how we won that one, especially since a few of UNC's guys were wearing stripes :suspect:


Bring on Oden, he can't take Hibbert, seriously tho, that'll be a great matchup to watch, I'm soooooo glad Oden isn't facing Hansbrough, Oden would strait up own him.

Im sorry but looks like my boys are going to pull this one off.

Conley is too fast for you guys.

Im sorry but looks like my boys are going to pull this one off.

Conley is too fast for you guys. Congrats on the win!! Good luck Monday.

Whew. Im so freaking nervous now. Im happy we got through them. Now thats all over and its time for the Championship game. Please please please OSU dont blow it. I cant take another Championship game loss in sports. Ive gone though a Titans loss , SF Giants loss in 02 , OSU Football won in 02 , OSU Football loss just recently. Gotta get one. PLEASE!!! LOL

you're bad luck

No. Ohio State is just a good team and there playing like Champs. Give them credit. They diddnt just beat an easy team. Georgetown is a very good team

I wish I'd been able to see it, but I was travelling. I've heard some of the fouls on Hibbert were kinda bogus, but oh, well, I just hope Florida doesn't win it all, they've had enough championships for a while

Ohio St 88
Florida 71

It's a mismatch at almost every position.

I hope your right dude.

Ohio St 88

Not so fast my friend.

Green & Conley Jr. will be a great match up at the point with MC having the slight advantage. Im guessing Humphrey will probably play Butler, both of which are 3 point shooters. At the 3, Brewer will absolutely man handle Ron Lewis on both ends of the floor. I admit Oden will probably have the advantage down low, but Noah & Horford will not give him anything as both play with high energy & toughness.

Florida repeats fellas.

Florida repeats fellas.

God I hope your wrong. Actually I won't care as long as Greg Oden punches Noah in the face. Repeatedly.

I don't mind Noah, but I think he is overrated as far as the nba draft. I don't think his game will translate. If he was the definitive leader of Florida, then I might give him some bonus points for leadership, but I don't even see him as a player who can elevate his team. He will have a role in the nba, but I don't think he should be a lottery pick.

I agree, I don't think Noah's game will translate to the NBA.

The best player on this Florida team is Brewer with Horford very close.

Brewer reminds me a lot of Josh Howard.

I've heard some of the fouls on Hibbert were kinda bogus,
i think hibbert and oden both got two bogus fouls.

God I hope your wrong. Actually I won't care as long as Greg Oden punches Noah in the face. Repeatedly.
Come on, isn't Noah ugly enough? :ha:

Didn't OSU get pwned by UF just a few months ago? They lost by 20 or 30 didn't they? Did they have injured players or something?

That Noah chick will show up to play.

Did they have injured players or something?


oden was still playing one handed, but OSU just played terribly as a team and UF had their best performance of the season.

Noah is absolutely halarious when speaking to the media.

http://www.theonion.com/content/files/images/Greg-Oden.jpg

Oden will have 23 and 16 rbs tonight. 3 blks. Mark it down.

http://www.theonion.com/content/files/images/Greg-Oden.jpg
That kid looks like he's about 45 :ha:

Balderdash!! He doesn't look a day over 42.

Good Half of basketball, but OSU looked overmatched. Oden brought his A game, but OSU looks out of it. They will need to get hot to comeback. Florida has more pop in their game right now.

down 11. WOW

I cant stand losing the a Florida team again....

If not for Oden, OSU would be down by 20+

No way Oden is tired. He's a yut. Packer needs to get off that. Oden could probably play all night long. But the OSU backcourt is horrible today. They can't do anything. Forida is shooting lights out with no pressure on the ball.

Gooooooooo Gators

Yute. as is youth.

un be lieve able

i officaly hate anything to do with florida

un be lieve able

i officaly hate anything to do with florida

you must be having nightmares about Florida.

um yeah

Not only does my College football team lose to Florida my Basketball team does too.

And the people who laugh at this are retarded. This is like the Titans losing the Superbowl 2 times in a row. Well for me it is

I love it. National Championships in both Football & Basketball.

Back to Back in Basketball.

It makes it even better beating Ohio State in both :woohoo:

Time to paaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrty :werd:

P.S. Credit to Oden for playing hard with all heart, the kid will be great.

I think we've seen the birth of a star in Greg Oden tonight. Too bad Ohio State's guards failed to show up.

Florida just owned Ohio St. tonight. Was never even close. The clock was cleaned. Florida goes for a three peat next year. They made every clutch shot for the last two years.

Liked watching Oden tho'.

P.S. Credit to Oden for playing hard with all heart, the kid will be great.

We all know he is not a kid. :suspect:

Florida goes for a three peat next year.

Yeah they can try, but it's not gonna happen.

We all know he is not a kid. :suspect:

not even close :ha:

***ALERT***

Suicide watch for Columbus, Ohio.

RISK: High

I wonder if the Cavs will lose their final game to Miami...

Florida goes for a three peat next year.
How many of them do you think will return? Horford's a Senior, but the rest of their starters are just Juniors. However, if Jeff Green and Big Roy come back, Georgetown will push hard, they will only improve if they can talk those two into coming back for their Senior years.

Just proves something we've already known. Anything from the state of Florida is better than anything from the state of Ohio.

I wonder if the Cavs will lose their final game to Miami...

Don't worry, it'll happen :biglaugh:

I thought Humphrey should be player of the game. He made every back breaking shot. But the gators are a true team. And Brewer was all over the place.

Exactly what i said yesterday Phi. Brewer would be the best player on the court on both ends. He's almost an exact clone of Josh Howard.

I dunno how many will come back. But by looking at them, they were like a family. They appear to be having too much fun to go pro. Time of their life. I'd stay if I was them. The Pro game will offer them little. They are not superstars waiting to happen. So college is where it will be at for these guys. They should hang out and have fun for another year.

Lol, I think one shining moment is on it's last legs. It's really close to being dated. They need a new song.

I wonder if the Cavs will lose their final game to Miami...

:shake: :cry: :barf: :hmm:

This hurts bad

I hate Flordia more then the Colts.

I wanna punch Noah right in his face

Horford is a junior, Humphrey is the only senior of the starting 5. I think they are all gone though, including Donovan. There is no reason for any of them to stick around anymore. The fact they even came back this year is a testament to them.

Horford is a junior, Humphrey is the only senior of the starting 5.
oops, that's what I meant, those names are a little to similar, thanks for catching that ;)

all the juniors left for the pros

lol, all of them left. Donavan will need to suit up next year. I like that Donovan stayed, his lifetime memories will be there at Florida. He'll have a good long career there.

Watch out for Marreese Speights, true freshman center that played some behind Horford Richard & Noah this past season. I think he'll be the next great player at Florida.

Jeff Green is about 70% on coming back :monkey:
