Typically they want to blow the SEC, but I think they were making an exception to this rule and taking it in the ass from the Big East...up until the Big East fucked themselves in the first two rounds. So, ESPiN is back to taking it from the SEC.

Probably Katz since he was in Providence and was around the Tennessee team for their first two games.Cornerback6;1680316; said:

Sheeit, I can't believe you guys are arguing about this, when we are seeing the greatest tournament of all time (GOAT). THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME. I mean I know it's going to be a barnburner, but I think OSU comes out on top because ET really only hopes he can help the ballclub, because he's just happy to be there. I mean when the Buckeye circle the wagons, the Volunteers will man up, but I think at the end of the day, God willing, things will work out. For the Buckeyes. I expect Turner to hit a HUGE shot somewhere along the way (I know, right?) which will snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. The thrill of victory will be ours, and the agony of defeat will be Tennessee's. I expect both teams will give maximum effort, but at the end of the day, when all is said and done, and when the smoke has cleared, the Buckeyes will...emerge...victorious. And then they can think about their next opponent, because they take it one game at a time, and you never think about the next step in tournament play. The Buckeyes are getting hot at the right time, and I think that will pave the way to victory.

So, your saying the slipper doesn't fit Tennessee? I suppose I agree, especially if ET scores the basketball. And gets in Chism's airspace.

Just got the hook on a couple of Final 4 tix for me and the bro in law. Would be fucking awesome if the Bucks could meet me there!

I'd put our chances of getting there at slightly better than a coin flip. Seriously, we can handle either MSU or NIU, all we need to do is pummel the Vols. Lets go Bucks!

ET has to squeeze the orange though, and take care of the basketball, because turnovers will determine the outcome of the game.

Things we need...
Diebler needs to be lights out from three point range. When hes going everyone else is going.
Turner needs to establish himself early. The ET show needs to start when the game does.
Lauderdale needs to show Tenn he is the big man. Start the game off with a huge dunk or a block to establish himself.
Other then that the rest should fall into place.

Turner's got to be able to get in the lane and to the basket...make them have to collapse to the middle and then let Buford, Diebs, and Lighty get open shots. Also, turnovers and rebounding will be key like always. Tennessee doesn't pressure full court as much as they have in the past which should help in the turnover category and should allow Turner to stay with the flow of the game and not be frazzled. I just think the main key is Turner's ability to get into the lane and create for himself and the other guys, along with rebounding and not turning the ball over. Hopefully Lighty is in attack mode tomorrow because when he's aggressive, we play our best ball. Overall, I think it's a good matchup for us.

Kansas could handle NIU if they played disciplined basketball.
NIU plays some of the most disciplined basketball I've seen in the tourney. They can beat anyone if the other team doesn't come out with their A game. Do I think Ohio State is better than NIU? Of course I do? Do I think they can do the same thing Kansas did if/when NIU gets past Michigan State? Absolutely.
I would love to be wrong, but I think this game will be more than a pass/fail for the Buckeyes. It'll prove whether or not they deserve the hype they're getting in the sans Kansas Mid-West bracket. So far they've had a game where ET came up short and the team stood up around him, a game where ET played okay and the rest of the team played well enough to push through.
It's time for the Buckeyes to play one of those games where ET get's his shoes lodged in Chisum's shorts, Diebler puts up his Jersey number, and Lauderdale earns the title "Fort".
No better team to do that against than this Vol's team, imo.
