I gotta show the Buckeyes some love here as I have been known to take some shots.
Well done last night
You played a tough Ole Miss team and owned them for about 30 minutes. Sorry our kids didn't hold up their end of the meeting schedule but we don't have our Senior leader yet.
We need a guy like Jamal Butler who keeps the team on track and target. Stats aside, he played a HELLUVA game last night and I won't say I am said he's gone for next yr '-) but if Koufos stays he's gonna be good - alongside Lighty & Turner you have a great trio moving fwd next yr.
lacking any floor leadership we played right into the UMass trap - no surprise, we were playing mostly Freshman vs their 23-24 yr old Jnrs/Seniors - but that's no excuse. We just didn't keep our composure the way the Gators did in Tempe. OR hit FTs grrrrrr...
Next year we'll be better, especially if Speights is smart and stays. he's just starting to mature having played little last year. Next year he could go far higher in the NBA draft with some bigger numbers.
Nice to see ONE of last year's Championship teams in another Championship... Good luck - we'll be pullin for ya to beat the Minutemen
