If you look at what is happening with these guys it all starts with great defense and that kinda started with AC. If you watch some of the interviews about 3 or 4 games ago they said that they needed to get better on D and now look. GREAT game last night and if they play at that level every game they will not be stopped. Although I do think they will more than likely lose a game but i hope they prove me wrong. Go Bucks!

Oh Yeah and look at all the haters coming out.......now they are saying Purdue isnt a good team.

Good yes but without Hummel that isn't the same Purdue they would have been. That takes nothing away from what the Buckeyes accomplished though. They looked great once again. Still put up 87 points against a very good defensive team, including 6 in double figures. I thought they did a good job on Johnson and basically shut Moore down from the field. They just proved again that you can't pick any one guy to focus on on any night because there's 5 others who can beat you.

NBA is just a different animal...nothin against Craft or Sully but the true NBA prospects on this team are Bufford & Thomas.

Did you see Sully's range, not needed at OSU. But will make him a Star in the NBA

dont think we will get as many post in this forum as we would in basketball....

Okay so I still propose the Question no one has commented on. What game do you see being a possible stubbling block that keeps them from going undefeated in the League. Yes, anything can happen on any given night...but what team. I am looking out to Wisconsin.

Agree.

Another matchup to see if Aaron can take on a NBA prospect PG. One of the top in the nation.

I think the stumbling block comes when the Bucks go to Purdue. After the way OSU pummeled the Boilermakers at the "Nut House", I see Purdue seething to get back at them. I am hoping that does not happen, but it is usually hard to beat someone twice in a season especially when you have to go to their house for the rematch.

2/6 at Minnesota.........the gophers played them tough at OSU.

[gamekeeper]

I agree with Vic on the immediate NBA prospects. Bufford, because of his size, ball handling and shot, I definitely think has a shot.
Did Sullinger's older brother make it in the NBA. I am thinking the must be of the same body type or am I wrong on that.

Also, MINN. was close because OSU let them off start of the second half. But with having to travel to MInn. Any time yuo travel it makes it a tough game, But I don't think OSU will let them up of the floor this time if they get up. Mich. St. seems to be in termoil, Not sure what is up there. Got beat by Ind. Wisconsin is just a different beast, and having to go there to play them there for their first meeting. That seems to be the tough match-up.

The older Sullinger, JJ?, was a guard/forward if I remember right. Much different player then Jared. Smaller, leaner, and quicker.

John Shurna NW leading scorer is game time decision, according to ESPN. He got a concussion on Wed. and was still showing signs. According to ESPN. Northwestern gives OSU a different look as well, but if he isn't 100% then that could hurt Northwestern, with trying to score against the Buckeyes.

Didn't hurt NW. Looks like they found how to frustrate OSU. Gotta go old school offense (ala Princeton variation) and eat clock (slow the game down).

Cant stress enough how impressed I am with Aaron Craft @ OSU. Has a lot of qualities that will translate to the NBA when he's ready to go.

Now I`m no NBA scout, but I am delighted that a scout has already shown interest in a freshman point guard that just a few short months ago had so many doubters about his abilities of being a D-I college player.
And here is a question for those that doubt.......... Are good point guards defined by their individual numbers or are they defined by their ability to bring his teammates together as a cohesive unit? If you believe in the latter like I do then you must admit that Mr. Craft is doing his job very well......... 24-0, number 1 in the nation with a freshman point guard that his coach and teammates obviously have alot of faith in.
