Talking to you is like talking to a wall. NO ONE IS SAYING HE IS NOT A GOOD PLAYER. THAT DOESN'T MEAN HE CAN'T BE OVERRATED. PLEASE GO FIND A DICTIONARY AND LOOK UP OVERRATED!!! Sweet effing god.

The article shows that he was overrated by the coaches. He should NOT have been defensive player of the year. I'm done with you. I would get further talking to my 4 year old.

you find a article that disagrees with the vote of 12 Big 10 coaches and you say I'm thick headed here is part of the article.

But the sophomore guard just earned some hardware that bestowed loftier praise than just being “very good.” Indeed, it is the opinion of Big Ten coaches that Craft is the conference’s best defensive player. At the risk of dismissing the opinions of 12 men who know a lot about basketball, I think they got this one wrong.

Yea I'm going to hang my hat on that one. I raised four kids and I pray they have more sense then you. I hope your 4 year old takes after there Mom. Who by the way must bê the most patient women on the face of the earth.

I'm done with you.Lmao.

I'll do you one better. Here's all his averages for four years. One could easily argue his sophomore year was his best but, you will notice that he really hasn't improved from his freshman year. You think I am hating because I hate Ohio State, but you are plain wrong. I "hate" Aaron Craft because I don't think he is very good and fouls at least 10 times a game that doesn't get called. I love Ross' game and despite not liking Ohio State, I can respect that. He's the only player that showed up yesterday.

now this sounds like you don't think he is a very good player.
 
If you want to listen to Dan Dakich babble on, which the Michigan vs. Wisconsin game on ESPN, it's turning into a great game after Michigan had a comfortable lead early on.

Conference games are never easy. Wisconsin started the week undefeated and ranked #3. They ended the week losing to two unranked teams.
 
Anyone catch Cuse & Pitt this weekend? Ennis is a fun one to watch. You'll still hear he's good for a freshman, I would drop the "for a freshman" part. He can flat out play.

No. I was just surprised I hadn't seen more improvement from his Freshman year to his senior year. Usually a player will improve somewhere, even if just in efficiency. But he didn't even do that. His FG% hasn't improved and there was a bunch of room for improvement. His FT% didn't improve and there was a decent amount of room there. His assist to turnover ratio didn't really improve though, it was pretty good to begin with. He's not a bad player. I just don't find him to be great. Somewhere between above average and very good. I guess that would be good, which makes him overrated in my eyes. That's all.

For the record, I was listening to sports talk radio in Columbus yesterday before Ohio State lost again and they were already in "When's football season mode?" I can only imagine what is going on today. Unfortunately I am out of town on business so I won't know. LOL
 
I don't know if anyone saw Kansas last night, but that looks like a team I don't want to see early on in March. I'll gladly play them in a final four though!

They are really starting to gel and Wiggins is starting to get comfortable. Their Achilles Heel is turnovers which would give UC a fighting chance. I think the stat I saw was almost 16 a game for Kansas. Their size would give UC problems for sure but I think the zone defense could be the great equalizer for UC.

4 straight games against ranked teams and they won them all. Best team in the country, and will be the favorite to win it all.

Buckeye Football is the big ticket in Columbus. Basketball has always been good but not on the level of the love Football has been afforded. Tailgating up there is a huge event. My son wrestled for them for 5 years and he says FB players never ever waited in line for anything. It is a huge tradition. He used to be a bearcat fan like me but he is all turned around now.LOL the Cats gave up wrestling back in the 70's
 
Houston @ home up on SMU at the half 31-25. Houston plays tougher than their record indicates. They also seem to have zero fan interest - gym looks empty.
 
Marshall Henderson is the Happy Gilmore of college basketball. It seems like there is some new story or controversy around him every day....
 
This comment probably belings here sorry:

Just a observation but lots of conversation about UC not producing NBA players. I think this squad has two who will play in the league someday. Caupain and Lawrence. Both need work physically but both have size and skills.

Caupain will probably be 6'5" PG with length,who handles well,shoots well and finds the open man. He'll be 20 at the start of his Jr. Year. Don't think he'll be here 4 years. He will be crazy good next year.

Lawrence has plenty of skills. He has length and size. He handles the ball very well for a big man and will make a huge jump in production next year. Probably gone as well after jr. Year.

Both these kids will play in the league
 
Duke plays at Pitt tonight at 7:00 on ESPN. According to Pomeroy Duke is #9 in the RPI. Hopefully a Pitt win would give the Cats a small boost themselves.
