Ohio State can't hang with SEC speed. You'll see.....

:osu:

As funny as this is, this is the reason Barkley said VCU was beating Purdue. He flat out said "Just like in football, the bigten can't hang with that southern speed..."

VCU beat up on Purdue because they ripped apart their press by passing the ball quickly and efficiently to the right spots on the floor.

An eye-catching floor model here

Product Ohio State puts out looking good

By Bob Ryan Globe Columnist / March 21, 2011

They will say no, but their actions screamed something else yesterday, as they pulverized a half-decent George Mason team, 98-66, to set up an East Regional Sweet 16 confrontation with John Calipari's Kentucky Wildcats Friday night in Newark.

If you're looking for a team that has all the appropriate bases covered, hold all calls because we have a winner.

Potentates 98, Peasants 66. Order has been restored to the NCAA tournament.

I'm not sure if it was brought up during the game thread but.....


Didn't Jon Diebler get hit in the head on his made three point shot? Isn't that an automatic Technical Foul?

Numerous times throughout the tournament and season I have seen the refs go to the video to confirm if a player was hit in the head. Dallas got hit with this earlier in the year, but we never seem to be the benefit of this rule.

I know it was a non-factor in a blowout, ,but it really irritates me.

Smacked in the face. It's just like when Beanie got horse-collared four fucking times without it being called.

 

[LightningRod]

There's 35 points of the 47-point difference. I don't care who you're playing, when you outscore a team by 47 points in any stretch in a basketball game, that's [censored]ing mind boggling...

The Buckeyes took Cinderella's slippers, Cinderella, the coach, the coachman, and smashed the pumpkin on the way out of town.

I'm pretty sure they had their way with the step-sisters as well.

I think what you are thinking about is that they started to put more emphasis on guys swinging elbows. That is automatically an intentional foul. On Diebler's three from the corner I am not even sure if he got smacked in the face or not but irregardless it was not an intentional foul. In fact, even though he did hit Diebler a lot of times officials will just let those types of fouls on three pointers go.

I'm 99.9% sure that the new rule this year has nothing to do with intent...just if contact was made to the head. It happened a UD game where Chris Wright was runing and his figertip glanced off a guys head. At the next dead ball they reviewed the tape and called the technical foul (not intentional) due to contact to the head. Brian Greggory discussed the rule on his coaches show as any contact to the head can be reviewed and a technical foul called.

You are correct about the intent. Intent has nothing to do with it but it is more about elbows being swung. on the shot that we were talking about, the guy came flying at Diebler and I really didn't see a slap to the face or anything that would warrant an intentional foul. It's not like he swung an elbow while flying at him or intentionally hit him in the face with his hand. The latter might be called an intentional foul but the guy from GM was just trying to block the shot and I'm not even sure if Diebler was hit on the head. Bad camera angle to tell for me.

Did you watch the Wisconsin-Kansas State game, where Nankavil and Leuer each got their heads bloodied? Leuer left the floor to have 3 stitches put in his scalp, and they said they wanted to put in more put they would've needed to shave his head to do so. Nankavil had blood streaming down the side of his face.

Each time it was determined to be be 'incidental contact', so no technical fouls were issued.

If you doubt this, just turn on the Purdue game. Boilers getting plungered by VCU.

Agreed. I just have to get off my tiny rant since I just watched Monday's "Around the Horn."

I'm really getting annoyed with the pundits saying "Of course the Buckeyes beat George Mason - it's George Mason."

REALLY? The pundits are clamoring for more George Mason's to be put in the tournament next year. That the teams like George Mason can make a run against any team for the championship. Purdue and Georgetown goes down to VCU, Pitt to Butler, Kansas struggles with Illinois, and Duke struggles with Michigan. After all of this they warn all teams "to watch out anything is possible." OSU then goes out, plays hard and defies this notion by dominating in their game. Somehow all we hear from the analysts are quiet words of backpedaling.


Sorry fellas, George Mason can not be legit before the game and then be over rated afterwards.

Yeah, of course George Mason was a good team that could beat the Buckeyes..............until they lost by 32.

Fuck everyone else.

[censored] everyone else.

All we heard going into the game was that the field needed more Richmond's and George Mason's. Now were hearing a different tune.

I swear these pundits are so scared of looking wrong that they act like little cry babies after their picks look wrong. [censored] them!
