you know, i think back to his frosh year, how aaron used to come off the bench and just spark the entire team w/his defense and energy. i remember texting evan saying, 'this craft kid needs to be a starter'. that '10-'11 team was loaded, but didn't really have a pg. matta resisted, keeping craft on the bench but still playing him 30 minutes/game. he finally became a starter his soph year, and this kid has been such an absolute joy to watch. time is running out to see him in a buckeye uniform. what we've been able to watch, as well as what we've learned about the kind of student/human being he is... that pre-game ceremony for the finale vs michigan state is going to be an emotional event for a lot of us. mark scott tosu 81 |

I hope for Craft's sake the team plays well enough for a win to send Aaron and Smith out on a good note. With Craft being introduced last the crowd will be very emotional. |

don't know if anyone was watching um at purdue. boilers were up by 19 at one point, but the ugly hats tied it up and sent it to ot, where teams traded baskets til um got a garbage bucket that literally hung on the rim then dropped at the buzzer to win by 1. if pu holds on, osu literally still has a shot at a share of the league title if they win out. gutty win by the wolverines though.

Matta has some serious issues in calling final second plays agaisnt PSU......... The team is missing Chris Jent. He was the one who diagramed the X & O during time outs the last couple season. I don't know who is telling Smith that he's a good 3 point shooter, but they are wrong. He had 2 good open looks at the end of the game and choked on both. The worst part is ... he's the shooting guard in the line up. Since hitting 4-of-7 from 3-point range in a February 8 victory over Purdue, Smith has made just 6-of-26 from deep. That's 23 percent..and that's not good. That is the summary of the 2013-14 OSU men's basketball team. Close but no cigar. This is a perfect case study illustrating that you can't take an athlete and make them a shooters. Williams should take a long introspective look at himself during the off season. He is a waste of talent. I hope he's working towards his degree because he won't be playing European after his time is up at OSU. If ash Try McDonald had his skill, than you'd really have something. |

Well...I'll be danged. I just learned that our famous Basketball coach, Fred Taylor, was an AA baseball player at Ohio State, and played briefly in MLB. He was our first baseball AA, and the first Buckeye to have his jersey retired...How about that?
Interesting story:

taylor was an all around athlete. baseball, basketball, golf. in the spring of '78 my freshman year, i took a 1 credit golf class just so i could get to play osu scarlet (alister mackenzie being the architect, the guy who designed augusta national), and to my shock coach taylor was my instructor. he was taller than i imagined, about 6'4 or 6'5, and he had a long swing like tom weiskopf. he had just been unceremoniously demoted from head coach to the intramural dept the previous year by osu, a move that may have been the unclassiest treatment ever done to a hof coaching legend. he was pretty crusty to us students at the beginning, but as the quarter moved on, and we got outside, he became more of the natural teacher he was. and that was pretty cool. one of the best memories of my frosh year. academically speaking, technically. lol. mark scott tosu 81 |

the view from 312...
well, from being up 44-39 early in the 2nd half... msu scored 12 straight and the game had the feel that it was sparty's to win. osu had lost its shooting touch, having just 1 3-pointer, to msu's 8. but somehow osu found it's touch to make 5 3's in the last 10:00 or so. just in time, because we completely lost our touch at the line. 19-31 for the game, and i think we went just 6-16 in the 2nd half. we could have locked this game up and we kept opening the door for sparty. payne, who was a nightmare to guard, had pretty much dominated the game, harris had nailed a couple 3's. but this buckeye squad continued to scrap. we had 6 steals in the last 5-6:00, and craft did yet another non-scorebook hustle play, jumping on a loose ball and calling time out. of course, we missed the ft's, but it was enough for the win.
i don't know how it came across on tv, but the crowd at the schott was the best of the season. long ovations in the pregame for aaron and lenzelle. the effort this team gave today was impressive. they'll go as long as their shooting touch carries them. which worked today. barely.

Seemed on the two AC TOs I saw, he waited for someone to move, and when no one did, he tried to take matters into his own hands. He also needs to find his spot on the floor, from 15-20 ft, and concentrate on finding that rhythm and shot where he can make it most of the time, and then do that at the start of every game. Sparty looked to jam up the passing lanes everytime he started his drives.

I'm still trying to figure out how we won that game. anyway. The win only helped a little bit. Nebraska beat Wisconsin so they got the 4 seed, Ohio St is the 5 seed. We play Purdue to open it up. if we get past them, it will vs Nebraska in the next round. |
