i dont think that arizona state has the biggest complaint, OSU had an RPI of 46 and SOS of 14 ASU had an RPI of 70 and a SOS of 75, sure ASU beat Arizona Twice but i still think OSU was more deserving
One more win probably would have gotten Ohio State in. It doesn't seem like much, but 20-12 looks a lot better than 19-13. In a season like this nobody that was left out really got screwed, none of those teams were deserving. There were some teams that made it that probably shouldn't have, but there just aren't as many good teams this season.
The headline in the newspapers in Asheville will read "OMG! Kenny killed the Suckeyes!" Of course I am referring to Kenny George, the 7' 7", 360 lb center that will dominate the lane, forcing the Suckeyes to shoot from outside.
From national runner-up last year to 1st round exit in NIT. And the 9th best team in the state will be watching Xavier and Kent in the Dance, Akron and Dayton/Cleveland St. in the NIT, and Ohio, Miami, and Cincy in the CBI.
Don't burn too many couches tonight when you lose!
Yet another lil'Johnny prediction down in flames. George played pretty well, at least for the 5 minutes at a time his stamina allowed him to play, but whenever he was out (and even some of the time he was in) OSU dominated the game. Hunter even went right around him for a dunk or two that were very impressive. Overall, a good game by a team showing they are a top seed in the NIT for a reason.
How'd your Bobbedcats do tonight?
Oh yeah, their season's done - didn't even qualify as one of the 97 best teams in America, could they?
Are you seriously bragging about your team playing in the Couldn't Buy an Invitation. No really, the CBI? I see you ignored my wager proposition. Nice that you have so much faith in your prognostication abilities, or should we interpret that as being you don't actually believe the drivel you spew.
Kenny George as a presence changes the game but the guy has no shot, no hands and no ability to run. If he did do you really think he'd be playing in UNC-Ashville?
Akron looked good beating FSU last night. Nick Dials (formerly of the Nutz having played his freshman year at Ohio State before transfering due to no scholarship available) was great in overtime.
Well, I guess old Billy Donovan and the Gators are a bunch of crap too since they lost all their scoring and made the NIT. Of the 12 losses, 10 were to top 25 teams and 9 were by less than 8 points. Look out next year when Kufos can face the basket with Mullins inserted into the lineup, this kid can flat out play. Diebler will find his shooting touch from the outside, i lived in florida for 10 years and all i can say is that Teddy Dupay one of the best shooters in Florida High School history struggled his freshmen year too, and he ended up in the championship game his seinor year, so the buckeyes will be all you can handle next year after we win the NIT and prove we should have been dancing.
Well, it's not a given that Koufos stays. BJ Mullens should be a good player, but I think the Bucks will have trouble finding a point guard to replace Butler. As for Diebler, I don't think he's worth much. He may be a nice role player, but he's not going to put up 20-25 points a game ever.
If they're focused the Buckeyes have a shot to win the NIT, but they did nothing to prove they should have been dancing.
WELL WELL WELL. It is the second od April, the BigSkidmark is nowhere to be found, and the only team from Ohio still playing is OHIO STATE.
Were they the best team in the state? Not by a long shot, but were they as bad as the skidmark professed? Again, not by a long shot. poopstain,take the hate and don't go away mad but JUST GO AWAY.
