Let’s make one thing clear, not a single faceless poster has the ability to offend me, and if you do get offended by what people post on internet forums I question you as a human being. Secondly you’re comparing Buford to some of the greatest player to ever play the game. Please stop disrespecting those players by even mentioning Buford in the same sentence as NBA greats. Third, you claim I know nothing about basketball. That’s fine, yet you have given absolutely no reasons as to why I don’t know anything. Every single thing I have said about Buford, sullinger, thad matta and this offense is true.
Buford- not good in the clutch, doesn’t show up in big games, makes mistakes and boneheaded plays 4 year seniors don’t make. Ever since the Duke game he has been beyond inconsistent and as a poster pointed above, he’s shooting horribly in the games we need him most. Against purdue he played magically, made all the clutch plays you’d expect a 4th year senior to make. Ever since that game he has been BAD.
Sullinger- overall game has declined since last season. He plays below average defense, has been turning the ball over far too much for a big man, and cries more than any player in college. He has spent more time bitching at officials the last 5 games then actually playing basketball. His focus and mental toughness are beyond soft.
Thad Matta- amazing recruiter, but overall an extremely average in game coach. Every single team of his aside from the oden/conley team has been upset in march by underdogs. His philosophy of playing 6 guys is terrible, his offenses are bland with no set plays, back door screens and ability to create easy points. I wouldn’t blame a single player on this team for wanting to transfer. You recruit mcdonalds all americans but don’t use them. Why laquinton ross hasn’t been given a shot is beyond my imagination. I’m also willing to bet come march we lose to a team that we are favored over. It’s a trend now and the norm.
Aaron craft- good defensively, good distributor, good finisher. Horrific shooter and misses way too many open looks. He’s the clear leader on the floor. But, if you expect anything more than 12 point from him then you’re out of your mind.
Lenzelle- has a good game every now and then. Does all the small things but really isn’t very good at any one thing. He’s best at giving great effort.
Deshaun- fluid, smooth scorer. Bad on defense. Everyone in America knows this. If I needed one guy to take a shot at the end of the game for this team, I want deshaun. Don’t totally understand why every game thad matta puts him on the other teams top low post man. Draymond green is one of the best players in the country, why was deshaun guarding him?

If this OSU team doesn't go to the Elite 8 this year I will delete my account and start a new one as Kells the blind believer. I'll start a thread saying I'm an idiot and the first 100 people can down vote me.
That's messed up, I got ten upvotes to delete my account. LOL
Let's hold out some hope.

I don't think anyone here is saying Bufford and Sully suck. I think we are pointing out valid reasons why we are not a top-tier team and giving the reasons why this team won't come close to smelling the final four. Bufford is showing why he is not a first round pick and Sullinger is showing why he is not a top-ten pick.
I think Sullinger is a good kid and a very good basketball player for the college level. However, you either need elite players to win national titles or need a total team atmosphere to get you to the final four. This team lacks both.

LOL Smith is a MAC player at best. His shot is everywhere. His Defense has gotten worse. Sorry!

In time Craft could become a scorer,i like how you put limitations on kids.he is prob the most talented player we have because of his defense,if he scored 12 he will be 1st team all American.
