ohio st down 9 4 mins to go

[AC1318]

here might be an upset all have been waiting for to shake things up.

except ohio st. backers especially ML players

If it stands good call buddy bear

If not nice run

[onlooker]

I figured OSU would be the first #1 out, but didnt think it would be in the 2nd round. I hope Xavier holds on and bounces them out.

[babaoriley]

What a game. i think Gus Johnson needs some valium

[AC1318]

right, then I like to see if oden stays for a title shot next year or not like some people think he will.

He won't stay talk is cheap it sounds nice now for him to say but, money talks bullshit walks.

He will be out in a flash.
In endorsements alone he could be a millionaire.

[AC1318]

down by only 2

[babaoriley]

Oh, and I believe Razz had xavier ML as well. Great call if it holds up, Razz. Rooting for ya'.

[onlooker]

Oden isnt sticking around. Either is Durrant. They will both be taking the money and running. They would be stupid not to. The risk of serious injury alone should make up their mine.

OSU making a comeback.

[AC1318]

he fouled out
oh shit

[babaoriley]

I know we've joked about this before, but there is NO WAY that Greg Oden is less than 30 years old. He looks like Michael Finley's father.

[onlooker]

OVERTIME!!!!!

Wow, clutch shot.

[AC1318]

free throw shots missed haunt everyone

[onlooker]

free throw shots missed haunt everyone

Like I said last week in that free throw thread. Id be a 85% basketball capper if these kids would put more effort into free throw shooting.

[cobra_king]

Am i the only one who thought that was a flagrant foul on Oden? Hence Xavier gets the free throws AND the ball? He knocked him 5 feet in the air!

[Seattle Slew]

How was that not an intentional foul on Oden? He pushed the guy in the chest after the miss with 9 seconds left?

Compare that to the grabbing call on George Mason in the same spot that was nowhere near as flagrant. You can't shove a guy in the chest. Of course, announcers don't say a word.

[onlooker]

Of course, announcers don't say a word.

They are pro OSU and #1 seed. The whole time they kept on saying OSU this and that. It makes me sick how these guys are all over the nuts of the higher seeds.

[Jay Edgar]

During the last FTs wasn't the X coach telling his kid "no 3s" -- that is, FOUL.

Will I live long enough to see teams up 3 in the last seconds finally do what they should to win the game?

[onlooker]

I dont understand why these teams dont foul when they are up 3, with under 10 seconds left. It always seems the team down 3 always hits that sucker.

AND WE'RE GOING TO OVERTIME!!!

IN LEXINGTON!!!

HAA-HAA!!!

COLLEGE BASKETALL!!!! CBS SPORTS!!!!

THIS IS MARCH MADNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I can't put enough exclamation points to properly convey Johnson's exuberance. The "HAA-HAA!" point had me rolling.

[Dbldown11]

down 9 with 4 minutes to go, and not only are they going to win, they might even cover the freaking spread.

Oden's foul was blatantly flagrant, and a poor showing of sportsmanship, he had obviously given up at that point. luckily for his him his team didnt. The fact that the announcers made no mention that it should have been flagrant is really upsetting.

[AC1318]

ohio st. got a pass
xavier gave the game away
what jerkoffs

[Dbldown11]

id like to see oden suspended a game for that shove. now that would be something. although there is no chance of it happening

[bside]

Xavier backers have to like that last bucket!

[Crayzee]

phew
+9-bought points paid off!

[onlooker]

phew
+9-bought points paid off!

Well it covered the regular spread of 7.5 as well. So the points didnt matter that you bought.

[BuddyBear]

Man...I need a less intense hobby

Glad Xavier covered for their backers....but it should never have come down to that. Here is some advice I'd like to give coaches: foul if you are up by 3 with just a few seconds left!

[Junkyard Dog]

What a game. i think Gus Johnson needs some valium

hahaha so true but id rather have an annoucer with some excitement and passion rather some monotone stiff like espn has for some college games

[bigboydan]

I can't believe Xavier just gave that game away.

[Razz]

I love Gus Johnson. I hope he takes over for Packer when that scumbag retires.

As far as the intentional foul, I would have loved to have seen it called (obviously), but I don't think you can call that there. Oden is so big that when he hits you, you're going down like that, so it's no thing to me. That was about the 100th most dissapointing thing about that game.

Yeah, I love Gus as well. March Madness is all about intensity and Gus brings it. I mean, HE BRINGS IT!!!! HAA-HAA!!! His diatribe about Snoop Dog and Acie Law III's resemblance was extremely humorous... He asks "Do you like Hip-hop?" and the other douche's reply was "I don't know what that means". High comedy.

[Razz]

Did you hear Gus there?

OH HE THREW IT TO US!!!! (Nice catch partner.) HA HA!

[babaoriley]

Gus reminds me of "Duffman" from the Simpsons.

[Junkyard Dog]

EL TIGRE!!Killing them o so softly!

[Razz]

EL TIGRE!!Killing them o so softly!

Hahaha.

Baba, I don't know anything about the Simpsons, but I'll try to find out about this "Duffman" character.

[Seattle Slew]

You'd have to wait for Jim Nantz to retire since Gus is a play-by-play guy.

I also read he's done for the tournament. CBS is booting him for James Brown in the next rounds. No more Gus for the tournament.

Gus' partner did have the best line of the day. Down 3 in the final seconds guy says "Ohio State has to hurry." What analysis. I thought they'd walk it up down 3 with 5 seconds left.
