Time to tally up the pool points and call it a Tourney night. I've seen Michigan, Ohio State. You're no Michigan.

What was the KenPom rating for OSU-WSU?

This is like watching Appalachian State beat the 2007 Wolverines.  The Shockers can do no wrong.  Every call, every bounce, every break.

The Buckeyes are still at a sub-30% effective field goal percentage and offensive rebounding percentage of an astonishing 9.1% compared to the Shockers' 40.0%

At this point, if someone lit a fire under the Buckeyes in the locker room at halftimes, it seems to have only destroyed the paper products in the room. Of course, there are a bit under 10 minutes to go yet.

If Ohio State manages to win this game tonight, the only silver lining I think there could be is that their luck would have to run out against Duke or Louisville, especially if they come out as flat then as they did tonight.

That would make three straight games of pulling a win out of your ass, in the tournament no less.

At least Kansas had some history of stupid mistakes and we we're playing pretty well on offesne, so most of us had hope. But this seems it would require a much bigger choke job on the part of WSU.
