OSU vs UNC

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Fun game. Good stuff: http://ohiostate.scout.com/2/595867.html

George, don't be jealous. Drop that trash school, and hop on the Buckeye band wagon. You know you want to. There is still time to do it before they win dual national titles. ;)

And yes, Oden and Butler or Conley would look great in the Wine and Gold. It's my dream that the Cavs somehow trade for an unprotected pick, win the lottery, and land Oden. Can you imagind Oden and Lebron playing together the next 15 years? The new Magic and Kareem. D Wade can have fun with Shaq, as he continues to break down. Give me a young Oden.

cdt, OSU is much younger? OSU has 4 freshman, 3 juniors, and 2 seniors. UNC is basically all freshmen and sophomores.

Cali, I don't know that the wrist injury helps the Buckeyes' chances for keeping Oden around another year. Even with just playing half a season he'll still be the #1 overall pick in the 2007 draft. How can he improve his stock by sticking around another year? I hate to say it, but if you're going to be the number 1 pick (or even close to it, really) you're pretty dumb if you don't go pro. Financially it's just a really dumb move to stay in school. Now, he could decide to stay b/c he just loves OSU, his teammates, college life, etc, but it would be a dumb financial decision.

My advice to all of you is to not worry, or even think about, Oden going pro. Just enjoy him in an Ohio State uniform while you can.

Man, this was my first game of the season. Living down south, I'm only going to get to see a handful of Ohio State's regular season games. After last night, I'm seriously considering shelling out the cash for the college basketball package. I don't want to miss another game! Hmmm, maybe the other games are on TVU? I may have to look into that.
 
Style, what makes you think the will a title...very rarely do #1 teams make it all they way through the tournament, OSU is young, the team everyone always thinks will win it never does, look at Duke...if i told you at this time last year George Mason would be in the final 4 what would you say to me? you would think i was crazy. its way to early to say anyone is going to win the tournament when its not even march, and Big Ten basketball isnt anywhere near as good as Big East or ACC.

:rolleyes:

Apparently you missed the memo about how I'm suppose to harrass George whenever possible. Get with the program.
 
well on that note...does Michigan even play basketball anymore? HAHA.
 
I was just screwing with George, but a dual national title is certainly possible. Likely? No. The odds on any team winning the basketball title in a one and done tournament are not good; however, if you add the best big man in the country to the Ohio State team I watched last night, they can play with anyone. If the Buckeyes stay healthy, they have as good a chance as anyone to win the title. Again, that's not a good chance, but it's as good as anyone else's.
 
yea, but the thing with Oden, the tempo of the game will change when he gets back, it wont be as fast paced, which is a good thing and bad thing.
 
No need to worry about the L guys. Freshman everywhere and no Oden? We're fine.
 
Adding Oden to this team is not going to be a bad thing.
 
i will forever be a Michigan fan Style but I am jealous of the OSU basketabll program....this team is relly Good...ading Oden will only help not negate...guy can move for a big fella plus it allows them to have an insdie prescence which they didnt have saturday....tough to win games running crazy like that and eventually you miss some jumpers....Oden lets them get easy baskets inside and opens things up on the outside even more with teams focusig on the big guy


Florida is going to be tough to bea this year fellas....UNC and Kansas are very good but OSu and Florida are on another level because of the elite bigmen on the team....It just takes a couple of bad foul calls against Oden and Florida can run OSU out of the gym by pounding them inside without Oden to stop them....They have better depth than any other team in the country although im not in love with the PG so OSU has to take avantage there and keep Oden out of foul trouble and they can hang with Florida

going to be fun watchin this particular OSU team

as for Michigan....well we are extremely athletic and good defenders (Brent Petway is very fun to watch...hes kind of like Kenyon Martin minus any offense other than alley oops and slam dunks.....kid has the highest hops in the nation I think) but all you have to do is play zone and you will win by 40....we have 0 shooters and the zone absolutly will kill us
