    Phillabuck- I remember you.

    So you would suggest that Syracuse focus on Buford, whos a 33% shooter, and allow Sullinger and Thomas to operate inside?

    I'll take that any day of the week and twice on Sundays.

    Chuck - I remember you too.

    So the point in a zone is you pack in Sully and Thomas, and still have enough to keep on Buford.

    Didn't matter anyway as Buford continued to puzzle, and Lenzelle stepped up again.

    Foul trouble ran both ways in one of the most bizarrely officiated games I have seen in a while.

    All in all - Final Four baby.

    Thank you for acknowledging IB. We are entightled to our opinions and really it's just for the sake of conversation. I just get upset with people who bash Bufford. He has put 4 solid years at OSU and handled it with class. He's done nothing but represent OSU at a high level. I understand the frustration when a player doesn't seem to perform at our expectations, but it doesn't mean throw him under the bus (Which I know a lot of people on this board are.). I think that people sort of get blinded by a guy who performs under expectations than a guy who performs at expectations but on a lower level.

    Lets Go BUCKS!!!!

    You get upset with people who bash Bufford? I get more upset with all the people that defend players and cant even spell their names. Buford has been a very good player here..........................Just not a very good player in Big Games. Its the truth. I wish it was different, but its not. HE HAS TO STEP UP! We are on the cusp.

    He played better than again Cinncy. But if you're saying he's playing like we'd expect a senior to play, then we obviously had different expectations for him.

    He disappeared on offense, missed multiple foul shots ( remember he was 90% before the tourney- he's now at 82%), threw the ball away in the last minute while the game was in question, and blew a one on one breakaway at the end of the first half against a smaller player.

    The kid is still struggling. If he can pull a couple good games out in New Orleans somehow, this team can win the national championship.

    Or maybe Thad needs to run some plays for Smith who actually isn't wilting in the moment.

  • buford wasnt very good last night but at least it felt like 5 - 5.

  • buford made some free throws and got some rebounds. he also missed some shots badly and looked terrible trying to go to the basket. not a great performance, not a terrible performance. i hope his shooting will improve next weekend.

    You're completely over valuing Buford.

    And don't come around these parts calling IB an idiot.

    According to you any time we beat anyone they are inferior but if we lose a game it was a big game and Buford didn't step up. Dude you're so full of shit, and I think IB can take up for himself without you trying to play body guard.

    bangheadHe had 13 pts and 9 Rebouds if that isn't a good game against a really good Syracuse team, but I'm sure in your eyes they are inferior.

    So you're saying Cincinnati was equal in talent to OSU? Really??

    That L in your name is accurate.

    You're a scarlet colored idiot. Some of you people are so dense I can't imagine how you make it through life.

    Yeah but that's not his fault. You can't expect him to be able to do that withou years of practice.

    If Buford comes out and starts throwing up bricks, how long does it take Matta to take him out??
    I say he pulls him with 7 or less minutes left in the first half.

    WTF wrong with you?

    You have no clue about basketball; was Ohio equal in talent to the teams they beat and almost upsetting North Carolina? In sports it's not all about just talent, schemes/and players playing together at a high level and contributing in all phases play a huge part in a teams success. I would love to explain this to you in detail but you don't get and won't get it. Done!

    Did you not notice NC was playing without their arguably they best player and the facilitator of their offense? YET they still won the game....how about that. Bad example to tey and illustrate a point.

    You newbies are really something. Insults, vagaries and a final DONE.

    Do us all a favor, go to your 'VIP" board and stay there idiot.

    As an aside for everyone else, this idiot is the type of problem we have on these boards. He shows no ability to disagree with people and carry on a civil discussion. Instead he comes in with his "VIP" status and insults anyone who's opinion he doesn't agree with (or in his case understand).
