Crazy game - I don't usually get that stressed over a basketball game but wow - had to take a few drinks and turn the sound off for awhile - what a shot by Ross!!!
And when was the last time cart had four fouls in a game? Want a game!
Great job of coming back - first game this year that we've come back from double digits!!!
I know the elite 8 will be tough but honestly I thought this was going to eba tougher game than either la sale or wich can give us in the next round
We'll see.
Enjoy the win tonight buckeyes but get back to work tomorrow

During La Salle v Wichita St they said, after the Syracuse win, that they will be playing the early time, which puts OSU vs the winner tonight (Wichita St most likely) the late game; roughly 6:55 pm EST.
Statistics are like a bikini; what they show is interesting, but what they hide is vital.
Drive for show (1st round), Putt for dough (rest of draft).

Wichita State is a tough and very physical team. We can beat them, but we need to come out swinging. They're a much better defensive team than our last 3 opponents, but weaker offensively.

I feel like we match up better with Wichita State. Arizona and Iowa State were mismatch nightmares and we survived the best punches they had.

I did like how the Witchita State head coach came correct and referred to OSU as The Ohio State in his pregame speech last night.

I just, disagree. I was looking for a place to state reasons why I don't think the Bucks will beat Wichata State.
I like the Buckeyes but I'm not a fan of em, when it comes to Basketball, OSU dissappoints historically. The coach is really working wonders, I keep seeing this small lineup, or hear it mentioned and because of watching a player holding his finger after a dunk in the opening round of the Ncaa tournament, and seeing a big guy limping, I wonder if the players are healthy, meaning healthy enough to play a full amount of minutes.
The last 2 games, OSU has needed , well it's been a one posession win.
The opening game of the tournament with Iona, they had a spell of not scoring in the middle of the game.
The moment that they became the only top 4 seed in their region, the Buckeyes got the target of the team to beat, instead of playing the role of the underdog.
The point is it is a bad idea to enter an elite 8 matchup and be playing a team that your mind is going to automatically go to " we should be able to beat this team". There are no easy elite 8 matchups.
Look, the Buckeyes have played a bunch of teams, "they should be able to beat", in a row, and I just don't know if the Bucks can motivate themselves to make it not close.
If it is close, after 2 close wins in a row, I think the 3rd time it goes against the Buckeyes and I think Wichata St makes the final 4.
IMPOSSIBLE! It seems impossible, but the refs are calling every reach a foul, even if you get all ball sometimes. Aaron Kraft almost fouled out with 1 minute + to go vs Arizona. ... ...
I think the game can go either way.

Can Deshaun Watson play better for the Browns, than Baker Mayfield would have? ... Now the Games count.

idk about crush.
I think it'll actually be a wildly entertaining game. Both teams get up and run. FGCU runs really really well. Florida is okay, but aren't a great 2nd half team. Look at how Minnesota made it a closer game in the 2nd half. They lost a game or two while being ahead.
And FGCU is the kind of team that can force Florida into mistakes, something that they have to guard against.
Both teams can and will run. Florida may outsize them...but so did GTown. Don't count out the Eagles.

Not a michigan fan, but a B1G fan and that was a heckuva comeback and shot by Burke. OT should be good, with mich having the momentum, but we will see.
Very good game, so far.

For FGCU and Florida, I honestly believe that Florida could destroy Florida Gulf Coast.
I really want to be wrong about that, though.

FGC threw a nice first punch by getting up as they did.
Good job by Billy keeping the guys settled and switching things up .
Nice win. Now we get Michigan.
As far as brackets go, mine are almsot totally shot. I had IU winning it all. Florida and Louisville I have remaining. I have Florida making the final 4 and losing there, and Louisville making the championship and losing there.

I'm currently tied for the lead in my office pool. (I have a higher 'max score' though) I got 5 of the Elite 8 right. Ohio State, Florida, Louisville, Duke, Michigan I missed on : Pitt (which makes me wonder if they'd be there if they had beaten Wichita State, ugh), Indiana, and one I completely whiffed on was a surprise pick in Colorado. I have 3 of my Final Four left, only missing Indiana (which everyone is missing. I have Duke beating Ohio State, Florida beating Indiana, then Duke beating Florida in the Finals.

This is the 2nd year in a row I've gone into the Elite 8 with the lead in my pool.
Last year this is the round that my bracket fell apart. Louisville beating Florida and Kansas beating North Carolina killed me.
Hopefully I can survive this round this year.

Really glad we're playing a team like Wichita State now. Getting to the final 4 means there is no excuse to start flat. 1 more til the final 4!

I'm in 4th overall out of 25 and I have the 4th most points possible.
I have Florida winning it all.
If Florida plays Louisville, Ohio State or Wichita St. in the final I win no matter the outcome.
I can't win if Duke wins another game (because one other person behind me currently has Florida beating Duke in the final)
and I can't win unless Florida makes the final.
I think I have about a 25% chance of winning this at this stage, which I definitely would have taken at the start of the tourney.
