Interesting they didn't put Craft on Paul........

Maybe they should have......maybe Paul would have had only 33 points ......

[Common Sense]

I did see Craft guarding Paul some the other night. They used just about everyone on him. I know he hit his last 3 over Craft. Nothing you can do there, it was just a heave.

Alright is it just me, or does anyone else think the Big Ten Refs are terrible.......If I am Purdue, i really felt the home town squeeze. First the spend the first part of the second half calling every little tickie tack foul, then they let them kill each other on the boards at the end of the game to the point, that Sullinger could have been really hurt.

I think they some of the fouls even on the guys guarding Sullinger early in games is a little unnecessary. Next year in the NBA he is not going to get all of those i jump into you when your hands are straight up and the ref blows the whistle calls.

I am not for watching a football game on the court. But I would like to see some transition basketball once in awhile in a game.

I'm glad someone else saw the same thing. I've never seen a player get more calls than Sullinger does. He jumps into the defender and gets the call? It's like high school girls ball. I guess shame on Purdue for not flopping. Buford saved the Buckeyes last night.

I have been very critical of Buford this year. He did hit big shots last night. Still is over-rated. Have to give him credit though for last night.

Sullinger will have those shots he throws up now will wind up in the 15th row in the NBA.

[gamekeeper]

Yeah, I have been a little disappointed in Bufford, but I think his game is more of the mid range and getting to the basket, and sometimes, I think he tries to knock down threes instead of getting to the basket. Against purdue he knocked some very Key three's good to see. Hopefully he can continue to do that.

It seems Thomas has been hit and miss as of late as well.

Craft needs to shoot. Dont' care if he scores 20 a game. But he needs to shoot when he's open. Better against Purdue, didn't shoot enough against Wisconsin. It allows the D' to stay camped in and keep the lane guarded.

[gamekeeper]

Crafts shooting looked good last night. Nice to see him knock down some threes against NW zone. Also nice pass at the end of the game to Sullinger.

[cubbies4life]

Keep on shooting AC like the last 2 games.

stats: Buford vs Craft

FG% 2 pt

Buford 42.9%
Craft 50.6%

3pt FG

Buford 36,7%
Craft 40%

I will take AC take open 3's then watch Buford continue to take bad shots.

That was difficult pass to say the least.

Wow! what a great win for Ohio state. They showed some grit, and was able to overcome a lead that didn't look like they were ever going to be able to get out of.

Hats off to Bufford, he made an really nice shot, in the clutch.

I am Buford's biggest critic but yesterday he stepped up like a senior should. They need that type of play if they are going to go anywhere in the tournamnet.

AC had a good overall game and made a big shot with a minute left in the game. Game was a war.

Let's hope that OSU's last performance against mIch st. in the second half is going to continue. Purdue will be a tough game for them tonight.
