The Front Row

He held Joseph in check. Tremendous man-man defense. He shut him down.

I will take 13 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists all day long.Also played good defense and hit a couple early shots to get us rolling.Good guy and good player.Hate to see him go.

Player of the game by far!

Buford really plays timid now for some reason. The kid has all the physical ability in the world, but for some reason now he over thinks everything. I can recall at least 10 times in the last couple games where he comes off of a down screen and could shoot an three that is in rhythm but instead either pump fakes and passes or drives into a no win situation and throws crap up at the rim hoping to get fouled. That type of shot used to be Wills bread and butter. That being said for a scorer like him it really only takes a couple shots to get that confidence back and get back in the flow of the game. As long as he works hard on the boards and defends Im willing to give him a pass and hope he can put up 25 in the last couple games.

It is what it is with Buford at this point. He's going to shoot about 25% and have some bad plays. Just hope he offsets that with some solid D, a few rebounds, and some FT at crunch time. At this point I think we are more likely to get the big offense from LSJ. Not trying to dump on Buford. Just being realistic.

I agree that without Buford we arent enjoying this great Buckeye run!
He may be streaky but he also isnt counted on lilke craft, sullinger or thomas. He is a complimentary player who does just that - he compliments this team and even when his shots arent falling he demands attention and he will not let us down in the Final Four!
Go Bucks!

Huge dome like atmosphere versus an elite team in a critical game and then relying on Will to hit outside shots scares the sheet out of me.
