    Trey Burke is dirty. Cant wait for that Kansas vs Michigan match up either on Friday.

    The tournament is about to get real interesting. Realisticly about 10 out of the remaining 16 teams are capable of winning a championship this season.

    Agreed. Any shot at all for an all Big 10 final four?

    Mich
    MSU
    Indiana
    OSU

    Be a real tough road. Real rough.

    Lyons. I say this as 1) a homer and 2) with slight knowledge of the gamplan going forward.

    Lyons will be playing a ton off the ball, running Craft in and around screens all day. He is going into a role he played for the first 4 years of his collegiate career. This is important because anyone who has watched an OSU game knows that there is nothing more neutralizing to Craft than taking his on ball defense away.

    Expect Mark to be a spot up shooter, and running through multiple screens on each possession.

    On defense, Nick Johnson will be taking on Craft.

    Well for the Buckeyes sake they got Shannon Scott who is always an extremely good defender.

    Should be a great game. That dude Solomon Hill is impressive sometimes too

    As a Cyclone fan, I hope Craft breaks both his wrists and ankles.

    A direct comparison to Mark Lyons is Momo Jones. I would say damn near the exact same player, except Mark might be a better shooter and slightly more heady (but both well below average).

    The difference is Mark has a supporting cast of Seniors and Blue Chip talent.

    I think Zona has more talent but they don't always play like it......I'm rolling with Zona ML, too much value to pass up

    No love for the Buckeyes. I keep all this trash talk about OSU, but they keep ending up with the W at the end. HHHHHMMMMMMMMMM.

    I look at this game and Duke/MSU and staying away. Coin flip for both games to me.

    Ohio State has won 10 straight. They remind me of that UCONN team with Kemba Walker that caught fire right before March and won the Big East and National tournaments.

    a 1st year point guard and turnover prone Lyons has the advantage?

    i'd love to see the buckeyes do some full court press , try to dictate the tempo and get Zona to try to run with them.

    They need to get that skinny italian kid in the game and let him drain some 3's.

    full court man to man is a joke .. theyd have to press like louisville to force any type of up tempo game ... man to man press is nothing anymore compared to zone presses ... louisville mastered it .. craft best on ball defender in the league though and he should jump the defender when he hits half court ... cant run craft the entire game full court man to man press ... he will die out with all the other shit he does as a pg for that team

    on another note i think thomas goes for 25 tonight
