I sat with many memphis fans yesterday. Before the game started they were calling him overrated, they left the alamodome telling me how great our big fella is! I told them he's just scratching the surface. Go Bucks!

If Greg can learn how to stay out of foul trouble, and to control the game, he has a chance to really take over the final four.

Ohio State?s Oden lets his play do all the talking RAY BUCK - 03.26.2007 SAN ANTONIO ? Those first raucous moments after Greg Oden powered up a 92-76 victory over Memphis on Saturday, the 7-foot Ohio State center was busted. Now we know: He can?t celebrate worth a lick. ?That?s just how I am,? Oden later explained. ?I mean, I?m not going to explode.? Not in the celebratory sense. On the court, however, Oden helped turn the South Region final by staying out of late foul trouble, clogging the middle and throwing down a couple of thunder dunks, of which he has become quite an aficionado as well as a historian. ?I saw Best Damn Sports Show Period?s top 50 dunks last night,? said the 19-year-old freshman. ?I saw a couple of guys break the rim. I?ve never had the honor of doing that. ?I try real hard,? Oden quickly added. ?But these new-age rims don?t break like they did back in the old days.? Cont... |

Oden comes up big for OSU Overcomes foul trouble to help secure Final Four berth BY STEPHEN HAWKINS | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ![]() SAN ANTONIO - Forget any of those thoughts about Greg Oden becoming a freshman flop in the NCAA Tournament. All that foul trouble Oden's been in the last few games? Just a memory. The 7-foot sensation reasserted his dominance when he was needed the most - and Ohio State is going to the Final Four for the first time since 1999. "When you have a guy like that that can block shots and have a presence and rebound like that, we had to play a perfect game," Memphis coach John Calipari said. In less than three minutes after Oden returned to the South Regional final Saturday with three fouls, the Buckeyes erased a five-point deficit. Everything changed when Oden got back on the floor, and Ohio State went on to a 92-76 victory over the Tigers. Cont... |

I don't think there's much doubt about that. Not much difference between Oden now and Robinson as a Sr.

Not to sound like Mr. Negative, but I just don't see it. Maybe, with all his hype, I was unfairly expecting more of him. But I don't see him dominating any games for any lengthy stretch. He can't stay on the floor for any length, either. Granted, a 7-foot guy is going to be carrying around some weight, and for him to run up and down the court for 5 minutes, is much more to ask then for someone who's only 6-feet tall. And for someone who was supposed to be the #1 draft pick in the NBA last year (if it weren't for the one-year rule), I don't see him dominating the way I would have thought. But I don't want to take anything away from him. I'm definitely more of a football fan than a basketball fan, so I won't argue with anyone (regardless of whether he calls himself an "expert") about whether he should go to the NBA, or whatever. Again, congratulations to Oden. I'd love to see him at Ohio State for some more years. |
