This is right on the money.... sort of.
I guess I agree with everyone else who says that the season is already a success... no doubt about that.
I think maybe my feeling is that to make it MORE successful we need to go to the final four...
And... Thump is right to some extent that if Oden gets in trouble, we are vulnerable... but... the good news is...that we have enough weapons to beat any of those teams without him, too....

I agree. But I don't think we're totally unbeatable without him like some others have hinted at. |

Elite 8 or better. Sweet 16 is pretty much expected, I think, so one more win would be good. Anything past Elite 8 requires a bunch of things to happen, that we can't say, "it didn't happen, so Ohio State was a huge let-down."
Of course, anything better would also count as a success to me.

Bingo. With all the hoopla of our recruiting class (Oden, Conley, Cook, etc.) and our success last season with lesser personnel, anything less than the Final Four is a disappointment in my mind. Hell, many pundits were already awarding us the national title for this year once that recruiting class signed their LOIs...

you ever seen that commercial where the guy's girlfriend says he is talking sports out of his ass? maybe you should watch more ESPNnews. check out these numbers and tell me Oden didn't play a huge role. This game was arguably his best to date at that point in the season.
Harris 9
Oden 24
Conley 16
Lewis 5
Harris 2
Now, back to your regularly scheduled program...
