Burke rode Craft! Craft does the same thing and it's good defense.
Also, why no Hardaway is not just a shooter.

Agree F@!< Vitale- my ears were almost bleeding
Agree F@!< Vitale- my ears were almost bleeding
Sorry for the length of this but I am so confused, I have read on so many blogs and been to so many site's and even read on this site people praising Aaron "The Hack" Craft (as I refer to him) for being such a great defender while many times in the same post admitting that he is a foul machine that basically gets away with murder or putting it in a very PC manner describing Mr.Hack as a "hands on", "very physical" player?? Dick Vitale almost made my ears bleed tonight talking about how great a defender Craft is to stay in front of Burke and others while the TV screen is showing The Hack impeding the progress of Burke and any other offensive player with his hands and upper body EVERYTIME. Look almost anyone and - ANYONE who is talented enough to play D1 BBall - can play great defense when they are allowed to use their hands to "body up" and slow down the opposing player’s progress - That is not good defense that is ILLEGAL defense that should draw a foul EVERYTIME. If anyone else would consistently play like that they would foul out 5 defensive possessions into the game. So I know I am preaching to the choir here but NO Craft is not great, Craft is a hack, he is a player that for some reason beyond my comprehension is allowed to do continuously what no one else in the game is allowed to do. The one thing about I will give to The Hack is that he has heart and competitiveness, and seems to be a pretty honest guy, when asked what the key to his defense is, from what I understand he said that he just fouls the other player on every play, stating "they can't call a foul on every play." Well I can admire his honesty and how hard he plays, but to praise him for being such a great defender, is to praise the guy that gets away with robbing the corner store at gunpoint - for being such a Smart Shopper.
Once again sorry for the length - just had to get that off my chest -

Burke played above his season average in FG% and assists (and possibly others, but I didn't look) and was 2 points below his season average, and yet ESPN and Vitale can't get off of Craft's nuts.

Take off the maize and blue glasses...
How many times did he call Burke and THJ the best backcourt in the country and Burke one of his 7 best players in the country?
I feel like those two comments and Craft for best defensive player in the country is all Vitale said all night.
It was just on repeat.

More efforts on the boards and defensive end is key, finally started playing tougher right at the end, but also need to have a better go to play than Burke iso hero plays as calls coming out of time outs and at the end of halfs/game

Way to go Blue and Fuck Craft & ESPN. What a joke that ESPN is crying over no foul being called after they spent all that time crying about what a shame it would be if golden boy Craft got called for a flagrant for hitting GRIII in the head.

ESPN has been a joke for years. I watch almost everything either muted or while listening to the radio coverage on iheart. The Monday night football coverage is awful. College football is ok if you're on the main station if on U or 2 you get hackjob announcers. Sportscenter is a comical shadow of what it once was.
The whole station sucks.
What if when the hatches finally open out of the UFOs come thousands of 100ft Native American Indians? We're going to be watching like "F%&# those are huge Indians! Please tell me they're not huge Indians."

Man, that win was as ugly as I've seen in a long time, but I'll take it. This game was the definition of must win, from a conference title standpoint as well as a morale standpoint. Could absolutely not afford to lose to these guys again, and if we hadn't, I'd be very concerned about coming out flat against Wisconsin and getting blown out, as well as against MSU.
Got to hand it to Craft, the guy is an amazing defender. Contained Burke all night as he usually does.
It's been a lot. Its been a roller coaster that for some reason seemed like it would never get good. But you know what? We kept fighting. It's like that old saying goes, "Those Who Stay Will Be Champions." -David Molk

What a game
What a game
A tough spot for a freshman, but that's the second big game in a row GR3 has faded a bit under the pressure. I wouldn't mind a lack of offense if he was playing well defensively, but it seems like people were getting by him with relative ease and when he was being posted up he allowed his man to spin to the base line far too many times. He also had a play where he missed an easy short jumper, made a great play to get the ball back, and then jumped back into the mass of humanity under the net only to have the ball barely get above his shoulders (not surprisingly) instead of kicking it out to anyone standing on the arc for either an open 3 or to set up a new play. Not why his plays stick out in my mind so much, but hopefully he uses these past two games to get better. He has all the tools needed to be great.
A phenominal job from Mitch, Tim, Burke, and the rest of the boys. What a win.

Bielien said the team needs
Bielien said the team needs to play tougher during one of the time outs and I think he's spot on (yes, I know the coach does not need my validation). I think we're too soft on D and not aggressive enough on O, which is why we get so few calls.
Also, damn OSU has some athletes on the front court; I'd like some of that! Will be so good to have Morgan back and I'd be interested in seeing Morgan and Horford/McGary out at same time against big teams.

Looks at the offensive rebounds they aloud and work in boxing out for 2 hours. That's was terrible. Michigan State is another long and athletic team that we will play soon, we need to be prepared for that. Plus with Nix and Dawson they are big and strong so hopefully Morgan will be back and some guys step up like some men and play big boy basketball.

I just looked at the box score, somehow we were out rebounded by 1 and we had 11 offensive boards to their 9. Did not seem that way at all. The stats are about as even as could be though. That will help me sleep tonight.

My Thoughts.
ohio exploited the inside game, all game; IU did the same. That may prove problematic in the NCAAs. THJ was the diference tonight, but we need a stronger inside game. Horford, Morgan and MMG have foul and rebound opportunities. We need to exploit those conjunctivively with FT shot conversion and pressure D leading to transision baskets.
