That's odd because you seemed sooo sure. Google is your friend before you make clueless statements and try to pass them off as fact.

Trevor Thompson is semi-decent breh no matter how much you want to hate this team.

He plays college basketball so I suppose that makes him semi-decent. Anyone who goes on to play college ball could probably fit in to that category. But since we are talking semi-decent in terms of the NBA, no. Sixty guys will get drafted. Sixty. That includes plenty of one-and-dones and junior/senior players from the 68! teams that made the tournament (which Ohio State isn't a part of.) It includes seniors that have developed from four years on teams that didn't make it. Then there is Thompson. Not a star or a guy who really developed, a guy who still has a year to develop but says fuck it, I'll go to the draft instead. He put up 8 pts and 11 rebounds vs. Rutgers! to finish the season.

The only thing Mullens would have bested Thompson in is lack of fouls.

Mullens averaged 9 pts a game (averaging 20 mpg) on 64% shooting as a freshman. Safe to say he was a better scorer than Thompson's 10.6 a game on 57% shooting (his best career %) as a junior.

NC Central, Providence, Michigan State, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota all made the NCAA tournament despite losing a game to the Buckeyes. Two of them are in the Sweet 16, and may be joined by a 3rd later today.

I specifically mentioned we beat all of those teams once - it was kind of the point of the post. What I forgot to mention is the Buckeyes also lost to Rutgers, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, and Florida fucking Atlantic, all of whom failed to make the tournament.

Overall, Ohio State went 6-9 against tournament-bound teams (11-6 vs everyone else). Is that really something to :gagnam: about?
