OHIO STATE 62 KANSAS 64 Final score

[Bleeding Red]

Tough end to a very good season. I would have liked to see Thompson and Williams play more. Seeing Ravenell going back in the game was very frustrating.

Seems like OSU's defensive intensity was really lacking the 2nd half. Almost like they came out after halftime expecting Kansas to lay down.

Sullinger and Thomas 2-17 in the second half.

Bucks had 11 point lead at 3 seconds till halftime.
Craft drove and tried to draw a foul, turnover and KU layup with .1 left.

Every play counts, and that was a 2-4 point swing depending on Craft's free throws.
At worst, if it's simply a missed shot from the Bucks at the half, it goes to OT!

I love how all of you get on here and say that Sullinger is soft and not physical enough. R U SERIOUS!!!!!!!! Everytime he got the ball down low, Kansas threw 2-3 guys at him and they would push, shove, smack and basically rape the kid and no call. Kind of hard to do anything when you have that going on. Kansas got away with murder in the second half and the Bucks couldn't overcome. if you DVR'd the game, go back through the second half and look at how much more physical Kansas was allowed to play. Anytime a buckey went to the hole, they were mugged. There was one play of many that Sullinger had the ball down low, Withey and Robinson surround him and they both are smacking the crap out of him. He ducks under the double team and as he is making a pass, Robinson smacks him on the arm. He makes the pass and then they call 3 seconds on Amir Williams. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!! 3 SECONDS!!!!!!!! You know how many 3 second calls I saw all year in watching college ball. NONE!!!! ZERO!!!!!



I would like to see Sullinger stay but I can't blame him if he leaves. Why not go on into the pros and get beat and banged on and at least get paid for it? It was sad to see how bad he got raped in the paint this year.


I have to agree with Ravenal playing as much as he did last night. I don't see what Matta sees in him. He is no offense at all and his defense is just as bad. Why not bring in Williams or Ross. Matta might be losing some of those All-Americans just for the simple fact he won't play them. He should have used his bench more this year and been about 8-9 deep, but for some reason he likes to only go about 6-7 deep. That is the only thing I don't like about his coaching.

Oh well, on to next year where if the bucks lose some of those players, I'm sure they will replace them. If they all do come back, look out. I could see the Bucks running the gauntlet and going undefeated all the way to the title. That's if they don't have to play against 8 on some nights. *wink* *wink*

Robinson and whitey got away with murder. Robinson was called for the first foul of the game and. Not one the rest of the game. Call these bogus touch fouls on Buford and thomAs when the.bucks were pulling away This allowed the jackhawks to double on sullinger. The 3 sec call wasn't called till After Buford caught the. Ball. BS. Within 2 min of that call, Robinson was in the lane for 18 seconds with 7 of those sitting on the floor begging like A $$$$$ It's a shame 3 pieces of crap help determine a game. Ohio state couldn't get into any flow the 2nd half because of the BS fouls called ONE WAY. Sullinger should go pro. He has taken more abuse this year with no calls than anyone in America.

And they almost give that foul to another player until the refs saw the replay and saw where Robinson punched him in the face then hatched down on his arm,but even with all that going on if Thomas has his normal game the Bucks are playing Monday night,tough loss for OSU they controlled this game for the most part until when it really counted at the end.

[Bleeding Red]

I understand the frustration on the no calls, but that has been the case all year vs OSU.

Given a huge lead the first half, they should have blown KU out and not given the refs a chance to get KU back in the game. OSU got sloppy at the end of the first half and that was a HUGE momentum swing. Even the cameras following OSU players to the locker room showed OSU players looking as if they were down by 10 instead of being up by 9! Another dismal half shooting the basketball caught up with them, but the second half defense by everyone but Craft wasnt much better than their shooting %.

People can say what they want, Sullinger didnt get his body in front of ANYONE the second half when KU players were driving to the rim. And he was not in foul trouble. Hell last year he took a bunch of charges....not this year. I can understand giving up 2 pts vs picking up the 4th or 5th foul. But come on! Dont just dance out of the way! If you dont think that is soft, you have issues!

He may have not gotten all of the calls when he had the ball in the post, but what is new? Look at how he played defense the second half.....he was getting out of the way when KU players were cutting to the rim! That is soft! I think he played much harder last year, as though he had something to prove.

Not taking anything away from him, he is a very good player. But he has more holes in his game right now that swiss cheese. Defensively he is much softer this year than he was last year.

i find it humorous the most physical largest player on the team who gets by because of his large ASSets and moving other people around has a fan base crying about how much he gets beat on. He gets his numbers by being strong and psychical . by taking that large body of his and moving people . The dude cant jump , he isnt fast . He is a banger .. so please quit crying about people beating back on him. please. MD

Seriously??? Do you really believe that Robinson only committed one foul the whole game, none after the first few minutes???? Did you watch the same game I did????

Sure, I agree, Sullinger is a banger but he never got the chance in the 2nd half because everytime he touched the ball, 2-3 guys surrounded him and beat the snot out of him. I DVR'd the game and watched the 2nd half and it was just sad at how bad he was abused in the 2nd half and no calls. He never even got a chance to make a move because of the bodies laying all over him.

After watching it again on DVR I also agree that Sullinger got beat up like a red headed step child,but in all honesty Kansas had some pretty bad calls go against them too,that traveling call on the big guy was a joke and took away a hard earned 3 point play away that would have sealed it earlier than it did,,usually the refs don't just pick on one team, they do it with both.
