Wichita State vs. Ohio State: 5 Advantages Buckeyes Have in Elite Eight Battle - Bleacher Report: Bleacher Rep... http://bit.ly/Xpse88

Regarding point 1: Go ahead shut down Malcolm. He knows how to pass to Baker, FVV, Cle, and C Hall. Oh and Craft is one of the stingiest defenders in college basketball? Well Tekele may be THE stingiest defender in college basketball.

Regarding point 2: If Hall gets shut down we automatically lose? Like we lost those 7 games with his thumb broken and sittin' on the sideline? Whose betta: Sam Thompson or Jackie Carmichael? That's right, Jackie Carmichael. How did we ever beat Illinois State, with Carl so mismatched? Twice.

Regarding point 3: I got nuttin'. They definitely have more experience.

Regarding point 4: Ohio State is the only one that had a new shooter come on board late? What's Ron Baker, a hologram? They have two deep threats. WSU has 3 in Armstead, Baker, and Early.

Regarding point 5: Battle tested? When the Shockers fart, all you can smell is adversity.

The boys at PTI give us no chance. Works for me.

We have to stop clicking on Bleacher Report articles. It's bad enough that Turner spent way too much money on them so now they are pretending like it's a site with real substance during the NCAA tournament. When they stop making everything a slideshow to boost pageviews, I'll pay attention to their site.

Should be a great game could go either way. Sad that someone has to lose this game as far as I am concerned but I think my Buckeyes win a close one.

The Ohio State 67
Wichita State 64

Great season for both teams and good luck to you guys tomorrow.

I like Clark, but how in the hell are we overrated? We're in the Elite 8. We didn't LOSE and advance.

We are what we are...after tonight, one of 8 teams still playing in the Big Dance. Not sure how that makes us overrated.

If he wants to talk about being overrated, nobody on this team's going to lose a game of Horse to the President, not so Special K.

clark kellogg is an osu grad. so.. he's feeling his bcs oats.

[Rosewood]

I predict we play angry and win

[OSU87]

If he's better than Craft I can't wit to see. Craft has shutdown the best this year. But this is going to be a great game. I really think WSU is really really good right now

Carl is explaining in laymens terms that he himself is supposed to get any and all rebounds. The young man on his right may have his nose out of joint.

Bleacher Report also had the pre-basketball season article who said that they shockers were on the list to lose the most from last year to this year. I don't mind being picked by them to lose.

[forevershockerfan]

Notice how primed and prepared our Shockers were last game, right off the bat? We had a game-plan and executed it. Our team has certainly tuned into the Marshall Plan and exploited La Salle's weaknesses which is far from easy to do. To beat Ohio State, we must do the same. I like this matchup and feel if we stay hot, we will just keep on Marching forward to Atlanta which Mr. Cotton should enjoy.

Who guards Deshaun Thomas?

That's the only spot we don't match-up well with. If we make a mental mistake against this Ohio State team they will punish us for it. Tough game. No prediction, but it's gonna take our best game to win. However, it will take THEIR best game to win as well.

Thomas played 40 minutes against AZ.

You have asked an excellent question. It is a bad match-up for us. I guess Cle will get the assignment. Cle will need help. Cle is not a particularly good defender and he is foul prone.
