That was indeed cold blooded. Wow
March 28th, 2013 at 10:00 PM ^
DIRTY DIRTY 3
March 28th, 2013 at 10:00 PM ^
Great decision by Arizona not to jack a 3 there
March 28th, 2013 at 10:00 PM ^
Ugh. Nevermind. Saw that coming. Shit.
March 28th, 2013 at 10:00 PM ^
March 28th, 2013 at 10:02 PM ^
Again? How stupid are these teams that play OSU? Stop giving up wide open threes. Are you afraid of Craft beating you off the dribble? Wow that's bad defense.
March 28th, 2013 at 10:04 PM ^
The guy was like 3 feet behind the arc I'm not sure what you're expecting from Arizona there.
March 28th, 2013 at 10:08 PM ^
Well maybe someone within 6 feet of the shooter?
March 28th, 2013 at 10:06 PM ^
Well, yeah, that's how your supposed to play it. Craft is very capable of beating people off the dribble. Better to give up those low % shots from 24-28 feet than let them get into the lane and/or closer for a better shot. At a certain distance you kind of have to give them a shot and we've seen the past week that some teams are just going to hit them.
I personally think the shot is stupid and that most players need to try and attack the basket in these end of game situations, especially when tied of down 1. Why the eff do these teams need a 3 when 1 or two will win it? Anyway, again, defenses pack it in and let the long ball go and sometimes it just works against them.
March 28th, 2013 at 10:09 PM ^
I understand not wanting to give up the two in the lane, but come on. There was nobody even close on the shot. Completely uncontested threes are not that low percentage.
March 28th, 2013 at 10:10 PM ^
I'll have to see again on replay how far away a defender was. I was thinking a guy was fairly close, but yeah, if there really wasn't anybody semi-close I definitely see your point.
March 29th, 2013 at 12:44 AM ^
They both jumped Craft off of the ball screen, it was a defensive miscomunication. They probably should have switched.
March 29th, 2013 at 12:38 AM ^
You do realize Craft is like a 30% shooter from deep? And a much better finisher?
Ha Craft and "finisher" in the same sentence is hilarious.
You apparently don't watch a lot of OSU basketball. That's okay. He gets to the rim very well, and whn there doesn't blow the layup. This happens. Much more often than him canning threes.
March 28th, 2013 at 10:01 PM ^
Going to the monitor here is BS.
March 28th, 2013 at 10:04 PM ^
March 28th, 2013 at 10:01 PM ^
Bad ass shot.
March 28th, 2013 at 10:01 PM ^
March 28th, 2013 at 10:01 PM ^
To check the time you dumbass. God these guys are awful
March 28th, 2013 at 10:01 PM ^
mother fucking buckeyes.. since when did bo ryan start coaching the buckeyes?
March 28th, 2013 at 10:01 PM ^
March 28th, 2013 at 10:03 PM ^
Not saying thoe shots are easy, but when the game is tied it's a little easier
March 28th, 2013 at 10:10 PM ^
March 28th, 2013 at 10:02 PM ^
March 28th, 2013 at 10:02 PM ^
March 28th, 2013 at 10:02 PM ^
Ridiculous monitor check. Refs have to be aware of game situation when they do this. Totally helps arizona.
March 28th, 2013 at 10:06 PM ^
If Arizona had made a game tying 3, Thad Matta would've rightly lost his mind. Arizona shouldn't get a free timeout. I know if something like that had happened to Michigan I would've thrown things
March 28th, 2013 at 10:03 PM ^
It's not that hard to do when teams give you wide open looks.
March 28th, 2013 at 10:03 PM ^
I hear the ohio fight song....I wanna sing "liquidate ohio state and humble woody hayes"
March 28th, 2013 at 10:04 PM ^
OSU has all but punched their final four ticket unless Wichita St or La Salle is much better than I think they are
March 28th, 2013 at 10:08 PM ^
Wichita St. is pretty legit in my humble opinion. But I'm not sure the Gods are going to allow Ohio to lose so it's a bit of a moot point!
March 28th, 2013 at 10:04 PM ^
lol Ohio pulls the horseshoe out of their pocket yet again.
March 28th, 2013 at 10:05 PM ^
Who beats OSU? Or do they run the table?
March 28th, 2013 at 10:07 PM ^
March 28th, 2013 at 10:08 PM ^
But they'll again fall short in the Final Four. They won't get past any combination of Louisville, Sparty or Duke.
March 28th, 2013 at 10:08 PM ^
Just because OSU has a laughably easy road to the Final Four doesn't mean anything for the FInal Four when they'll play teams that are actually seeded 5 or higher. They're not that great
March 28th, 2013 at 10:05 PM ^
G@d*ammit! Man, I hate Ohio State and their making-threes-at-the-buzzer asses.
F*ck!
March 28th, 2013 at 10:06 PM ^
IU getting blitzed off the bat
March 28th, 2013 at 10:07 PM ^
I don't think IU has the patience to stay with Syracuse's zone. They better get some turnovers and missed shots so they don't have to play a half cour game.
March 28th, 2013 at 10:07 PM ^
OSU has had a cakewalk in the tourney, and the football team beat, what, one ranked team? It's amazing how they never really have to play anyone.
March 28th, 2013 at 10:07 PM ^
March 28th, 2013 at 10:07 PM ^
in the hell did all those Ohio fans get out to LA? It takes at least a week and a half to hitchhike from Columbus.
March 28th, 2013 at 10:11 PM ^
March 28th, 2013 at 10:07 PM ^
Calls seemed to be in Ohio State's favor in the last 10 minutes of the 2nd half. Can't knock the hustle on ice-blood 3's to win games though.
March 28th, 2013 at 10:11 PM ^
Huh?
March 28th, 2013 at 10:12 PM ^
My thoughts exactly.
