    OSU -2.5. These are two of the most fortunate teams in the tournament. They both got by respected #1's without key players. OSU loses with Melo in there and Kansas loses with Marshall playing. However, this should be an evenly matched game. Both have a dominant big man (Robinson, Sullinger). Edge - T. Rob. Withey is a defensive presence when he can stay out of foul trouble. Craft impresses me more and more, I think Kansas's Tyshawn Taylor > Buford and that will be the deciding factor.

    see this is where casual fans get buried. not one mention of Deshaun Thomas who is averaging 25 a game in the tourney...(you read that right) and Lenzelle Smith Jr who is averaging 15-18..and Bufford who can go off for 20-30 at any time. Besides Kentucky OSU is the most complete all around team in the final four. Craft is gonna drive Tyshawn Taylor out of his mind. your gonna see that kid get exposed so bad for the head case he is.

    osu has a chance if that white guard continues to not get called fouls on every defensive strip of the ball....ridiculous he doesn't get fouls called...and they claim hes a top defender of the year..what a joke

    OSU has to make shots to win...which they can do...just a scary thing as they make a lot of those semi-mid-range shots that most teams brick all day. Kansas has better ability to get lay-ups and put backs.

    The collective myopic manlove for aaron craft is hilarious.

    Tyshawn taylor, with a torn miniscus that underwent surgery the day after the game, had 13 assists to 7 turnovers against the all-world craft. That a 2-1 ratio. Craft didnt shut him down at all. Taylor still scored plenty. Has craft increased his speed since? No, if anything ive seen him become a tad more lazy on off the ball defense.

    With a healthy miniscus tyshawn will show that craft is nothing more than a handchecking fool.

    Like the Buckeyes to defeat Kansas. They are the more complete team IMO.

    OSU will be favored over Kansas by a hand full. I think it will end up being close. Might have to take the points.

    craft wont hold taylors jock,craft defense only,taylor way quicker than average guard and can go for 20-up anytime.take taylor 100% everytime b4 craft.sure he has his t.o. games but what he brings to the offense can be explosive,long arms gets him steals.too the wire im sure.

    Dude- Tyshawn Taylor can't shoot a lick (0-17 from 3's) so get off how good he is. Until the UNC game where he played against a bunch of lazy prima donnas, he stunk against Detroit,Purdue and NC St.
    The entire key in this game is Desean Thomas- if he has to guard Robinson , he will get into foul trouble and his offense will suffer from the energy he spends guarding Robinson.
    I favor Kansas although I hate playing them as they have killed me all year.

    As an NCSU alum, I just have to tell you how goddam hilarious it was to read someone else call UNC a bunch of lazy prima donnas.

    oh man. Tarholes refuse to believe it.

    Where is your allegiance? It's about time these assholes heard it from an impartial source.

    Be warned the Bovada jinx is in effect. Last week, they had Dion Waiters of Syracuse as their lead picture for the Elite 8 games. This week, Jared Sullinger for the Final Four.


    KU +500 to win the National Title and hedge out in the Championship Game. Muchos Gracias Bovada curse.

    I think KU will be a good value on the money line as well as taking them with the points. Should be a good watch!

    but I'll eat my crow like a man. OSU couldn't hold the lead...and my analysis of this game was based on DeShaun Thomas going off in the tourney averaging 25 a game. him shooting 3-14 and 1-7 from 3 buried them.

    will just double up on Kentucky ML. will be a laugher.

    Just go on these forums, and go to freesportsbet.com, ask them what they think about a big game. Whatever most people are saying, bet the opposite.

    ya, zoo york definately posts some big time time losers often (your not the only one zoo, others come to mind as well). The guy even had to change his avatar to hide out and trick you into thinking it wasnt him. Just stating what I observe zoo, dont take it personal. Maybe im wrong

    This is not a good idea. While UK will probably win, but I would say there is no value in Kentucky ML. Kansas can win this game. They have the pieces. Look at how Kentucky got killed on the boards today versus Louisville. This exact thing can definitely happen versus Kansas who have been rebounding machines these past 2 games versus North Carolina and Ohio State, decent rebounding squads.
