OSU beats UC 72-50

[Style]

This one is coming in a little late, but I didn't get a chance to watch this game till this morning. The final score doesn't show just how dominant OSU was in this one, as they put walk ons at the end of the game. Matta probably could have run up a 40 point victory if he wanted to.

Here's some solid analysis from Kyle Lamb: http://ohiostate.scout.com/2/601702.html

the only points the Bearcats got in the paint Saturday were on runners, weakside putbacks with Oden drawn out to his man or when he simply wasn't in the game. Otherwise, they were virtually shut out inside.

This kid is an animal. What a joy to watch.

Another great day Saturday for Mike Conley. He had 8 points, eight rebounds and seven assists - with no turnovers. On the season, Conley is averaging 6.5 asissts a game with nearly a 3-to-1 ratio. He's also averaging 9.2 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.6 steals a game.

Speaking of joys to watch, this kid is probably the second best player on the team. I never would have thought that as a true freshman he's be a better guard than Butler. He's exceeded all expectations.

I was again impressed with Othello Hunter Saturday. Once again he was very active inside. He has been playing very well of late. If Hunter continues to improve at this pace, Ohio State is going to be very, very tough late in the year (if they're not already).

I was thinking the same thing when watching this one. Oden isn't the only meat Matta has to throw at the opposition.

Next up the cyclones, then the big showdown at Florida this saturday. I love watching Joakim Noah ball, so that should be a pretty entertaining game.
