The Front Row

I think we learned that Amir Williams can be a very good defensive player. He did a great job when he came into the game.

Aaron stay aggressive at the offensive end. Even in the second half. We need you! Tremendous effort.

Agreed. Loved seeing Matta use a deeper bench. You don't recruit McDonald's All-Americans to have them sit on the pine!

Good overall team win. We dance on to Boston!

We learned that Gonzaga is neither pesky nor scrappy, but a talented team with low post players who are athletic, have length and can create shots in the paint, including turn about jumpers. Ohio State's high shooting percentage kept them in the game in the first half, but they lagged against the zone. DeShaun is the most electric scorer on the team and needed more touches than he got in the first 10 minutes (0). Gritty effort by the Bucks paid off!

We have learned that the Buckeyes have to be scrappy energetic all over the place D and fundamental rebounding block out ect . On offense since we dont really have a center Craft and the guys have to be patient and spread it around ... Craft is turning into a really good all around point guard .. He is the key to the Buckeyes run in this tournament but we need to win as a team we are a roll play team more then last year Amir Amir williams was a key find today !!!!

I totally friggin agree...I've been saying he should have seen a lot more action all year.....if you have a 7 footer who can walk and chew gum at the same time....YOU HAVE TO USE HIM!

Go Bucks!

It was a GREAT team effort and like almost everyone else I was glad to see William's defense. Not to rain on the parade, but it was only 4 minutes. Not sure we learned that Matta should play those 4 regularly. Looking at the box score, they had a combined 26 minutes of playing time. Statistically, they went 0-1 from the field and 0-1 from the line, for a total of 0 points. They had 2 rebounds, 0 assists, 1 steal, 1 blocked shot, and committed 3 TOs and had 4 PFs.

What we learned, IMO, is that we need to find a way to get some production from the bench. Ravenal has been the only consistent producer off the bench all season, not counting mop ups. Scott has given some good minutes of ball handling but has shown little production. Unfortunately because of the level of competition at the Sweet 16, it is not the time to look for things you haven't had all season. Just have to hope that injuries, foul problems, and fatigue are all held at bay for 4 more games.

It could happen. Wussconsin can frustrate impatient teams like Syracuse. Plus, UW, if they're on, can shoot a team out of their zone defense. Could be a hard game to watch. We'd have a real good case of payback, if it happens.
