Jimmy Dykes and Hubert Davis both take Gonzaga, say Sacre will be too much for Sullinger. We shall see.

We're going to put some D on them. Little different than what they saw from WV.

We shall see soon. The experts picked Duke, scum, and Mizzou and they were wrong. They also had us as the best team earlier in the season. When we play The Ohio State University basketball and share and move from side to side and play defense and close out on everything we will be fine.

Remember when they kept predicting losses, in 2010, and kept predicting losses until we were like 25-0?
They're jokes.

I really like the way Scott has played lately. He seems to be gaining more confidence. Honestly i think we beat the Zags by 10+ today.
On to the next round.

Gonzaga wont be easy but the Buckeyes are legitimately 10-12 pts better. Why is everyone so in love with the Zags now? Becuase they dominated WVU? Isn't that the same WVU that lost in Morgantown to Cleveland State?

The media is so predictable, they see gonzaga roll West V and and are now in love with them. FSU beats duke and NC and their the darling of the tourney. FSU will probably lose to Cincy because thats how it usually goes. We will beat Gonzaga and then the media will pick against us again because thats what they do. You would think we would be used to this by now.

Hubert Davis and Barkley always pick against OSU. Although I do have to admit I am a little nervous about this one.

Two of the best SOS indexes out there have OSU at # 7 for both and Gonzaga as #136 and #127. That is why their overall record is very questionable.
MSU went out to Gonzaga while not playing good early, and beat them soundly.
Hubert Davis always picks against OSU, he is the Mark May of their basketball game day set.

I was watching that, too. They love us when we look great, they hate on us when we look less than great. Sometimes we do "win ugly". We play tough defense. We rarely run, so we don't get a lot of easy baskets. We just play a style that is not overly pleasing to the eye. Occasionally, it looks like Tress is calling our offensive plays (I loved Tress...so kidding) but you know what I mean.

The real experts are the oddsmakers in Vegas, not those clowns on ESPN. Vegas wasn't built overnight. Those cats know they they are doing.

These guys are picking purely to be consistent with their brackets and OSU is a threat to that so they are picking against them. They will keep picking against them. I love it.
Go Buckeyes!!

Barkley never respects big ten teams. He has that SEC mentality that the conference is slow.

That's it. Let them continue to ignore Deshaun in their "analysis".

We will see here shortly, but if those clowns did any homeowork they would know Gonzaga lost soundly at home to MSU, lost to Illinois, and went 1-2 against a St. Mary's team that Purdue beat last night.
I think St. Mary's is their best win, and earlier I mentioned their SOS is in the 120's in most indicators.
That was a nice win over WVU, a WVU that had double digit losses and not a lot of athletes.

Why has no one seemed to factor in Ravenel. He has a 7' wing span, is more athletic than their 7 footer, and if both Sully and he play together we may have the most impactful matchups. Also, I like Craft shutting down their point guard.
If we are hitting from outside, I see this as a double digit win for OSU. Otherwise a 5 to 7 pt win.
Mark it down, we are going to the Sweet 16.

Barkley is the mark may of the NCAA tourney. Let's see if we can prove him wrong. Let's face it' he isn't the only "expert" picking gonzaga.
Let's get the ball n the hole boys and minimize the bricks. Otherwise sir Charles will be right

I think that is part of it. The other part is that Gonzaga has always been (because of some past success) somewhat of a media darling. Factor in too that most national media members hate Ohio State with a passion and there ya go.
