Almost perfect - ugh! 29 and ONE!
What a game. Actuallly, it was more of a disappointment than anything else; up 12 points with 11 minutes to play. Give credit where it's due: the Buckeyes just wanted it more today than we did. That's not an easy place to play. Plus, they have no post-season this year so in effect this was their last grand stand. I hope we see them again in the BIG 10 Tourney later this week. I guarantee there will not be a repeat performance of today's 39% FG shooting. Ugh!
I didn't see too many good things to be happy about on the court today. We relied too much on the jumper which didn't go down. We also broke out of most of our offensive sets down the stretch. At times, we were so timid that it looked like we were just trying to hold on to the lead; playing not to loose instead of just closing it out. We had several chances to put this one on ice but didn't.
At least we don't have to worry about going 39-0 this year. I'll take 38-1 at this point. Ohio State just flat-0ut played harded today and made the big shots down the stretch. Bring on the BIG 10 Tourney and the BIG DANCE. Don't forget to sign-up for March Madness at Ronler Madness 2k5.
