I know there are a few other KU threads already, but I just figured we could talk about it here. Any other Buckeye fans here on the forum? If not that's ok.

My thoughts on the game:

I don't see us winning this game, we have a good team, but not a great team. If Buford played to his ability it might be a little bit of a different game, but he has been a major let down this year. We have a lot of talent, but we are really young, Sully, Craft, Thomas are all sophmores, Lenzelle, Q, Amir and Thompson are freshman. Another reason I don't see us winning is the fact that Sully has a hard time staying out of foul trouble, and KU has some very athletic bigs, if Sully gets into foul trouble we could be in trouble. We played you guys earlier this year and lost by 15 without Sully.

Your point guard will however be guarded by the best defensive point guard in College Basketball. Aaron Craft is a stud. Anyways, I hope it's a competitive game, and congratulations on beating Carolina, that was a fun game to watch.

It'll be interesting, Tyshawn on Craft rematch with Tyshawn healthy should be as interesting as Sully on T-Rob.

The major issue that KU will have will be covering Deshaun Thomas. I don't think they have anybody that can do it.

I don't know why you think Craft is a hacker, but I don't agree. I think you could argue he hand checks at times, but who doesn't? I have never seen a better defender, he moves his feet extremely well.

I assume you mean you've never seen a better defender for tOSU? Or are you saying all-time?

Craft is good, but so is TT. I think TT will get by him, but I can see some turnovers because Craft is pretty wiley.

The speed TT has though, is unreal. And TT is a much different player than he was in the first meeting. I think he has been pressing some in the tournament and hasn't played as well. Hopefully he can hang loose and ball it up.
