The Front Row

No Q in the 2nd half but, I'm not surprised. That stretch where we turned it over on 3 of 4 possessions about made me pull my hair out.

You are right. This is the 3rd out of 4 that Craft has outplayed Burke. I am no hater on Burke--he's a great player that has improved immensely this year. He was playing as well as any guard in the country heading into this game. Plus, he seems to be a great young man. I will certainly root for him when he goes pro (which will probably be this year). It must raises my ire when people run down Craft in comparison--especially in today's game. Burke has outstanding shooters around him--Hardaway, Robinson, Stauskas and others. In addition, McGrady gives them an offensive option down low that is better offensively than OSU's centers can provide. So, not a surprise that he will get open shots. But, today Craft gave his team what it needed to win, and put the clamps to Burke. His play was the difference--no disrespect to Thomas, who was a man in there (without his great play, OSU loses for sure). So Buckeye fans, give it a rest and give Craft the credit that is due for being at least a major, if not the major, reason OSU won today.

Not to mention I wasn't surprised we didn't see Amir. He's been making plays but he also makes some colossally dumb mistakes (hello fouling three point shooter).
