Trying To Move On After Cavaliers Get Smashed By Heat Again
February 18, 2012While We’re Waiting…Obama wants Vernon Davis in Chicago and Iverson wants to play
February 19, 2012This Michigan biting back sensation is still a relatively new one for yours truly. The Buckeyes are an offensively confused team right now, and other than Deshaun Thomas, Thad Matta’s guys looked lost and intimidated in a hostile Ann Arbor environment. Trey Burke’s 17 points led the Wolverines to a 56-51 victory in Crisler Arena, which snaps OSU’s six-game win streak over their rivals. Jordan Morgan also battled Sullinger all game, while posting 11 points and 11 boards of his own. Thomas led OSU with 25 points and a career-high 13 rebounds, while Jared Sullinger bounced back a bit in the second half to finish with 14 points and 8 rebounds. Ohio State is now out of first place in the Big Ten, and they sit one game back in the loss column, along with the Wolverines, behind Michigan State. I’ll have more on this tomorrow, but for now, let’s just say it’s time to sound the alarm in Columbus.

Shocker. Yet another game full of Buford taking dumb shots and having no knowledge of the game situation. This team isn’t going to win anything. I have news for you fellas: the entire NCAA tournament is away from the Schott.
Between CSU and OSU, I can’t say who was more overrated. I see this team losing in the first round easily. Time to step up Sullinger.
As a Michigan fan, it pains me to admit OSU lost this one more than U of M won it.
Ohio State looks completely clueless on the court as does the head coach. I was never a William Buford fan but this guy is easily the most clueless and as good as Craft might be defensively he’s just that bad offensively. Ohio State might as well be playing 4 on 5 on offense. All of this is obviously effecting Sullinger to boot. Buckeyes need to get it together before the tournament.
