2007 NCAA Tournament Discussion

[ORS]

Oden's cleaning some glass tonight.

[Red Sox 4 Life]

As I have been watching this game I have come to the conclusion that: Billy Packer is HIGH.

[jacksonianmarch]

Oden is playing very well. But the gators are tearing through the OSU D.

[Red Sox 4 Life]

Usually OSU picks up the Defense in the second half. They are going to have to out play Florida in the second half and I don't think they can do it. Florida isn't Xavier or Tennessee

I've liked Mike Conley all year, but after that bounce pass to the white boy? I think I fell in love. The kids really showing his balls tonight, gonna be a top PG in the NBA some day. He has it all. Best vision of any frosh I've seen, top passer, can take over the game if he has to, love the kid almost as much as I love Oden. Seriously... hes an amazing athlete, his ast/TO ratio is nearing 3, is a better leader at the point than nearly anyone I've ever seen play point in college, and he's only 19. He's got a great future.

 

I realize that Ohio State is down by 11 at the half, I realize Florida is playing pretty well, but I have to say this: to all the people who say "Oden doesn't have enough heart/passion on the court"... watch this game. He clearly "wants it" and he has been EXTREMELY aggressive.

[jacksonianmarch]

agreed YH. Oden is on his way to a monster game. OSU needs to notice it and give him the ball every time out.

[jacksonianmarch]

Oden absolutely dominating Horford.

[jacksonianmarch]

uh oh. OSU is climbing back into this thing.

[jacksonianmarch]

BOX OUT, CMON ODEN.

[jacksonianmarch]

and you wonder why I am saying the OSU offense is ass backwards. Oden was wide open when that idiot took an NBA 3. Then they took another 3 when Oden had position.

 

And when they give it to him, he dominates.

[ORS]

Bomb.

 

Oden is taking over on the other end.

[ORS]

Brewer is the difference maker to me. These teams would be pretty evenly matched if UF had a regular swing man, but Brewer can do anything on the court.

[jacksonianmarch]

Oden is ridiculous against a stellar player.

[ORS]

Florida has answered every threat, and then topped it with a mini-run. They are about to stretch the lead again.

[jacksonianmarch]

Note to celtics. Please draft Oden.

[jacksonianmarch]

Dagger. BTW, that block was ridiculous.

[ORS]

Chipping away. Let's see if they can stop Florida from answering.

[jacksonianmarch]

Oden is having the game of his life and the rest of his team is s***ing the bed. Funny how his teammates were a huge reason he even made it here, now they are the ones falling apart. Conley is good, but he is guardable. Oden is unguardable if you give him the ball.

[jacksonianmarch]

Oden with the jump hook.

[jacksonianmarch]

Oden draws the foul.

[yeszir]

I'm still pissed that Vandy lost to Georgetown. That was ********.

[jacksonianmarch]

Gators repeat. BOOO.

[TheKilo]

I f***ing hate the Florida Gators (basketball)

 

I wanted them to win football.

 

Joakim Noah needs to go away.

[CrespoBlows]

Joakim Noah's mother was Ms. Sweden?

 

Must have been a shallow pool of contestants.

[CrespoBlows]

Greg Oden is your number one pick in the NBA Draft.

[jacksonianmarch]

Greg Oden is your number one pick in the NBA Draft.

 

you can say that again. Oden being manned up by Horford, Noah and the other big guy and him completely abusing them was classic. Especially since Horford is being considered a lottery pick and Noah a top 10.

[See Red]

Best game I've seen Oden play. On the offensive end, at least. And despite the fact that they seemed to be calling the game a little tight down low, he managed to stay out of foul trouble. He was able to get great position down low and the passes were put in the perfect spots to get him easy buckets. I think he was helped out a little bit by what appeared to be Florida's defensive game plan being to focus more on perimeter defense and make Oden beat them. I think Florida deserves it's due as one of the better teams in College Basketball history. They've been able to turn it on when it mattered most, destroying all of their Final Four opponents. Once Florida started to get up, their was never a point where I thought Ohio State had a good chance of winning. Bill Donovan coached a great game, the Florida players executed, and Florida has another dominant Tournament Championship victory. I cheered against Florida all year, but I found them to be a difficult team to cheer against as the tournament went on. Billy Donovan is an easy guy to cheer for, and the starters turning down NBA Lottery type money to come back is a rarity and I wish that wasn't the case. Kudos to Florida -- they earned it.

[Mr Crunchy]

donovan is the best in the business now

he sets his own tempo,corey brewer is the most underated player in the nation

congrads to fla

they earned it and hopefully billy d has the sense to stay the f*** away from the kentucky job

[ORS]

I agree. Brewer is one of the most complete players I've seen in a while. Whoever picks him up is going to get better in every phase of the game.

[CrespoBlows]

I agree. Brewer is one of the most complete players I've seen in a while. Whoever picks him up is going to get better in every phase of the game.

 

I disagree.

 

I think he's a legit top 10 pick, but he has a serious lack of body strength which could cripple him in the pros. He can't play the four or five in the NBA, because he doesn't have the frame to do it, and he isn't a great ball handler which takes him out of the 1 or 2 positions.
