This is one of the top 3 biggest plays I've ever made, and I could go on for awhile as to why I like it.
All of that doesn't matter though, because if this play loses I will most likely get mocked and have burning money signs thrown at me. I very rarely talk up one particular game, but I have to this time. So like I said, if this play should happen to lose feel free to say what you want, however it would be much smarter to pound OSU, watch a good game and the better team move onto the National Championship.
Goodluck all of covers.

Ohio state - 2.

These teams seem to be pretty well matched at first glance, but I don't think they are. Kansas's best offensive player will be guarded by one of the best defenders in the country (kraft) tonight and this will play a big part. I've seen Taylor take bad shot after bad shot this tourny when he gets frustrated. Kraft has the ability to frustrate the hell out of the guy he is defending. Without Taylors ability to run the offense smoothly, Kansas will have trouble scoring.
Ohio State simply has more talent and one of, if not the best defensive team in the country. Noone really impresses me on the offensive end for Kansas other than Taylor and Robinson and they will be matched up with against guys who are as good or better. Withey is a shot blocking machine, but he has not seen anyone with the talent of Sullinger this year. My biggest concern is the ticky tack whistles usually called on Sullinger, but Motta flipped on the refs after his 2nd foul call on Cuse and he was allowed to move around more freely. He didn't pick up his third foul until late in the 2nd half. He also has the fines post moves that can really counteract a big shot blocker.
Ohio State also has had a harder road to get to where they are at. Kansas has played 3 good teams, none of them great. (I consider UNC simply good without Marshall, not great.) All 3 of those teams gave Kansas all they could handle and then some. Purdue, and NC state who were considered only average teams coming into the tourny outplayed Kansas for most of the game but couldn't finish. Ohio state on the other hand has looked great beating better teams. Gonzaga, Cincy and Cuse were all hot and playing well when they faced OSU and got worn down like Ohio State always does with their opponent. They really impressed me beating Cuse when Sullinger only played 6 first half minutes and Buford went 3-12.
Another thing I noticed and really like is the leadership of Aaron Craft. The way he brings his teammates together to huddle after every whistle shows that Ohio state knows the challenge ahead of them and are ready to meet it. I don't think these huddles can be understated. It is a great way to get your teammates together, calm down and make sure you are focused on the play ahead of you, not just winning the game. It seems that Craft got Sullinger to buy into what he was saying and the rest of the team to follow.
All of this stuff combined with the eye test and the fact that I think Ohio State has more talent, and better leadership should be enough to win this game. I don't expect a blowout, but I know that Ohio state has what it takes if this game is close in the final 5-10 minutes. Sullinger does not want to play his final college and will do whatever is necessary to extend his career.

I'd never steal a writeup, I'd be more embarrassed to do that than lose 10 in a row. I'm not really a write-up guy but I've been eyeing this game up for awhile.

That was an awesome writeup....They played already at KU...KU won by 11 points....the wild card is Sullinger didn't play...Robinson will guard him..with Withby helping out..Jayhawks won't shoot 58% like they did in that game,and OSU won't shoot 38% like they did...NC looked great until the last 4 minutes...I realize NC might have won with their PG playing......still think it's a war regardless....
The Robinson story is emotional...tough kid working thru all those losses...plus he's a DC product...gotta pull for the local brother...

Goodluck whatever you guys do. Its weird, for as much as i like this play I don't expect anything other than a hard fought game. I just really like Ohio States ability to close strong and pull away late if it does stay close.

I always say this at the drive-thru and they act like I'm from a different planet. I'm still waiting for some employee to get this reference and I'll probably tip em $5 haha.
Thanks fellas.

That's a solid play but I'm not fully agreeing with it in case it loses I won't be able to burn money in your thread, talk about how rich I am, or compare myself to Billy Walters.
Good luck though, if it loses you can always tail Sammy Sunshine and get it back.

When you feel 'too good' about a play, it generally is the wrong play. Take that for what it's worth.
Yeah I know what you mean. I'm pretty inconsistent and hit around 52% on average plays, on plays I really like I hit about 60%.
It sucked that all the public was on OSU, but it didn't affect them in the first half, and it wasn't the reason Sully went cold and OSU just didn't get it done.
Just a tough loss, that play right before the half was huge momentum swing. Went from possible 13 pt halftime lead to 9.
