Your screen name already indicates you wouldn't be on Kansas |

The larger posts of KU could give him trouble, DEPENDING ON HOW THE GAME IS CALLED.

Funny, I thought the same thing after Mizzou blew their load in the Big 12 tournament. Haith was on the court crying afterwards.They don't give parades for final fours at KU. You should focus on your coach winning a tournament game first |

As I said, take it for what it's worth. Have lots of friends from KU and have watched many games at the Phog so I'll claim no bias  . Just too much media in KC and everytime I see it, these kids talk and body language is that of celebration instead of focus on what's next. I typically stay away from KU games but I'll be on the OSU side of this one. Good luck with whatever you choose. |

Totally agree with you about Mizzou blowing their load in the Big12 tourney and that's exactly my point with KU. As far as parade's in Lawrence, I guess the local stations here must have staged their coverage on Mass. St. Whatever, good luck with your choice. |

#38 Posted: 3/27/2012 12:36:50 PM  It was interesting that Taylor's "breakout" game was against 3rd string PG of UNC. hmmmm....
I will take the quick hands of Craft (although overdone by the CBS crew) to force the turnover-prone Taylor into some critical mistakes at crunch time. OSU -2.5 for this newbie...

Good points- Tourney is usually decided by the Guards. Taylor makes a ton of bad decisions, Craft few. Craft is far quicker than he looks and has given every other PG in the tourney fits. I expect the same.
Good point on the breakout game vs the fill in from the never supposed to play part of the UNC bench

Will they win the game solely on the fact they huddle up after every whistle - No, but this is something that can only help and keep them focused. |

Agreed! As a Buckeye fan Craft hasn't disappointed since he stepped on campus. This should be a great game. No leans for me. Good luck to everyone on whatever you decide. |

that is now my second biggest loss ever.
I cannot believe how OSU played like girls in the second half when looked in the eye.
Pussies.
KU deserved to win.
