Final Four a father-son story
Conley Sr. among those who know all about glory
Saturday, March 31, 2007 3:45 AM
By Todd Jones
THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
ATLANTA -- If they had a different relationship, one forged by the son trying to live up to the father, then this would be an appropriate place for Mike Conley Sr. to pass his family's athletic torch to his namesake.
After all, this is the city where Mike Conley Jr., at age 8 in 1996, watched his father triple-jump in his third and final Olympic Games.
So the temptation is to focus on a metaphoric circle being completed today when Mike Conley Sr. watches his son, Ohio State's freshman point guard, start on college basketball's biggest stage against Georgetown in the Final Four.

Bob Hunter commentary: Eyes will be on Oden-Hibbert matchup
Saturday, March 31, 2007 3:44 AM
By bob hunter
ATLANTA -- Greg Oden was asked every conceivable question about being matched up against Roy Hibbert, and he handled each the way he does a reckless 6-foot-7 center, deftly swatting the feeble offerings into the stratosphere.
It's not a one-on-one matchup, it's five-on-five. ? There's one post player out of the five guys on the floor, so most of the scoring is going to come from someone else. ? I'm just going to play my game. ? I'm just going to work hard.
Hibbert was a little more open to discussion on the topic, but there was none of that Joey Dorsey I've-been-waiting-to-get-a-hold-of-this-overrated-chump stuff.
Apparently when there is a real matchup for the ages -- and this could be just that -- it stands tall (sorry) on its own.
Ohio State's 7-foot Oden vs. Georgetown's 7-2 Hibbert is the first Final Four matchup between two pure star centers since Hakeem Olajuwon met Patrick Ewing in 1984, which says something about how rare this is.
