If by "A-Game" you mean "Amaker", they will...and will lose badly.

It begins Tuesday. |
I think that this game is more likely 82-60.
Ken Pomeroy has us with a greater than 90% probability of winning all but two of our games remaining. His predictions have been very accurate so far, especially his predictions of winning margin. His model has tended to slightly under-predict our winning margins, which is to be expected in a team that didn't have Oden early and which continues to improve.
How many wins going into the NCAA?
Tue Feb 6Ohio St. vs. (55) Michigan Home W, 72-57[65] (93%)
Sat Feb 10Ohio St. vs. (44) PurdueHome W, 75-61[66] (92%)
Wed Feb 14Ohio St. vs. (114) Penn St.Away W, 76-60[64] (94%)
Sun Feb 18Ohio St. vs. (141) MinnesotaAway W, 73-56[65] (96%)
Wed Feb 21Ohio St. vs. (114) Penn St. (Home W, 80-57[64] (98%)
Sun Feb 25Ohio St. vs. (6) WisconsinHome W, 69-64[65] (69%)
Sat Mar 3Ohio St. vs. (55) MichiganAway W, 68-61[65] (78%)
His projected record** of 26-4 (14-2) assumes that on a fluke we lose one we shouldn't lose.

A forgotten hero
When you go to bed tonight, take a second to pray for this man. He has quietly been bringing joy to your life for years, with very little recognition from you. He is Bill Martin, Athletic Director at the University of Michigan. He is responsible for keeping Voyd and Amaker on the payroll.
Few Buckeyes have made a greater contribution to our happiness.

Bill, you rock!

Amaker's answers offer insight into U-M's woes
Tuesday, February 06, 2007
The best freshman class in America plays for Ohio State.
Center Greg Oden will only be there a year before he leaves for the NBA, point guard Mike Conley Jr. and shooting guard Daequan Cook will eventually join Oden in pro ball. Even swingman David Lighty looks like a promising prospect.
In three seasons, Thad Matta has propelled Ohio State from mediocre to the national basketball stage.
