    This Aaron Craft Kid is Kind of Stupid

    Guy seems to have a great heart and a solid motor but for a guy who is supposed to be a PG he can't hit a lay up for sh*t. Must have missed lay ups or had them blocked on 6 different occasions in this game.

    Even when he missed the free throw on purpose at the end.....he got the ball back and still couldn't lay it up off the glass properly for the ball to go in.

    WTF.....kids takes too much sugar or something before every game?

    He was OSU's best player today and throughout the year.

    He had one good half...don't think he was their best player today....Buford would be that guy

    He took a handful of out of control garbage shots.

    Kraft is for defense...not offense. He just isn't a scorer. He's a grinder.

    I also am kind of annoyed how he always calls these huddles after every foul like he's their real head coach and can drop some knowledge on how to play on these other studs.

    Just seems like a teacher's pet type.

    Could it not be,that he is relaying plays/messages he gets from the "Real Coach" from the sideline?...LoL the kid played great,Thomas being in foul troble all night is what cost the buckeyes this game.

    While I will agree his decision at the end was strange considering you should know it must hit the rim before the shooter can move, the kid is an Academic All-American the first of which for OSU hoops in a long time so stupid he is not. What it comes down to is you can be as smart as a Rhodes Scholar but those split-second decisions in the heat of battle get the best of most.

    he is playing up the floor general act a little too much, doubt he is relaying any info. and he played a big role in the loss got spanked several times inside the last 10 minutes and total botch on the intentional missed free throw. and great closing shot of him standing there with the clock running out complaining instead of at least trying to get a steal last 2.9 seconds.

    That if anything was the most puzzling/troubling, instead of trying to get one last chance even if it was unlikely they gave up.

    Ohio State lost tonight because Thomas was absolute garbage and Sullinger was getting mugged consistently.

    I won't cry for them. Fukk 'em.

    Craft must not be able to shoot from the outside. He tried to drive way to much into the trees. He is a good player, but must be a horrible shooter.

    Thomas was a non factor 6 weeks ago. He was nowhere near their best player back then. He came on strong in the tourney. Realize that everyone can't be Mark Lemke and stink it up and be average during the season and be lights out when the pressure is at the highest level.

    If he doesn't take all of those contested outside jumpers, the game is probably never close. He kept Kansas in it by thinking he was Kobe Bryant.

    Craft had a lot of open shots. The only fault I put on him is that he should have realized passing the ball to Thomas was a much worse decision than pulling up for a 3.

    Craft had a lot of open shots and did not pull the trigger. Leads me to believe he could not shoot. That is 4 on 5 basketball, might as well give it to Thomas if you are too lame to jack up open jumpers and threes. Give to someone who will shoot it, albeit miss it, versus the guy who won't shoot it at all.

    Craft is overrated, trying to be the next diebler but he doesnt have half the talent.

    Diebler was a shooter, nothing more. Craft is the best on ball defender in the NCAA and he's only a sophomore. If Craft ever matched up with Diebler, Diebler would be on lock down.
