March Madness 2012 Discussion Thread

Well it looks like OSU is going to force Sacre to step out on Sullinger, basically playing 5 out right now. Interesting matchups across the board though.

 

Can Sullinger keep up this perimeter shooting, though? I realize he has made 2 threes already and that he has significantly improved his jumper this season, but it seems really risky to bank on him being able to consistently make that shot.

 

It also greatly reduces the opportunity for 2nd chance points without him inside.

 

It is an interesting idea and if he is able to drag Sacre out of the paint it will open things up inside. I just don't like the idea of banking your success on Sullinger shooting outside jumpers.

Maybe they do win, but I find it a bit shady that the morning of this game the NCAA decides that Samuels can't play. Especially the morning after 2 big name powers went down and most everyone saw this as another potential upset. Sorry if I'm a bit skeptical of the NCAA and their timing with this.

DeShaun Thomas has to get going if OSU wants to win this one. They can't rely on Sullinger running his game out on the perimeter.

 

And right on cue, he scores OSU's last 12 points to tie the game up before Craft's layup to end the half gives the Buckeyes the lead.

 

Great first half, especially when you compare it to the K-State/Syracuse game.

Sacre has a serious case of butterfingers. He is having a terrible time catching the ball.

 

Stockton continuing to do an excellent job of setting up his teammates, they just can't convert on his passes. Pangos had a 3 go in and out and then Sacre with the fumbled pass.
