Looney time. He'll be wearing a mask from the facial fracture that knocked him out of yesterday's game against USC.

Branden Dawson is playing tonight for Michigan St.

Looney with the backcourt pick-pocket and look away deuce. Niiiice.

Tate looks/plays like a shorter, slower Randle lol

Denzel Valentine for MSU is an interesting looking prospect. Good size for a SG and seems to be able to do a little of everything

Nice run by Ohio State capped off with a Russell block on a jumpshot and a 3 pointer just now.

OSU definitely with the tired legs after playing yesterday. They trail by 8 at the half.

Notes:
-Russell started off slow, but picked it up. MSU's defense is doing a really good job on preventing him from getting to his spots.
-Dawson and Valentine were impressive for MSU, definitely worth looks in the second round.
-Jae'sean Tate is like the hobo version of Julius Randle.

Dawson has tremendous defensive instincts and great hoop IQ. Would be a steal in the mid-late 2nd round

Travis Trice coming alive here in the 2nd half. Russell fell asleep on that inbounds play and gave up an easy bucket to Valentine

Buckeyes making a run with Russell on the bench. Interested to see if he closes out

I'm concerned that Jahlil Okafor doesn't even try to play a pick and roll game when they try to deny him the post entry.

Buckeyes playing the foul game pretty early

Looney is being way too passive tonight. Great game, but he's likely the difference in not being on top right now. Only 4 shot attempts... his offensive approach tonight has been three dribbles to his right, if the defender is still on him, pass it out. They are doing zero pick and pops with him.

That's probably game.

Powell has been outstanding. What a game!

Winslow heating up.

Post #577 » by **TyCobb** » Sat Mar 14, 2015 3:14 am

Oh **** Looney with a huge three!

Post #578 » by **Slava** » Sat Mar 14, 2015 3:16 am

Man.. literally if the ball reaches OKafor, its either a basket or a foul. Just an entirely different beast.

Post #579 » by **TyCobb** » Sat Mar 14, 2015 3:19 am

Damn, Looney gets another opportunity for three... gets hacked and no call. Arizona wins in a nail biter. Hopefully UCLA gets to go to the NCAA tourney. Need more Looney.

OSU has to foul immediately there, make them beat you at the free throw line

Who will win the national championship?
