Ohio State 74 North Carolina 49

I fell asleep shortly after this one started, but are the Buckeyes the real deal? They went into Chapel Hill and apparently dominated the second half against the #7 Tarheels. That's a wide margin of victory for the Buckeyes against North Carolina & Villanova.

Their game against Kentucky in Vegas is looking like it might be a lot tougher than I originally thought at the beginning of the season.

The Bucks are good, and UNC is not.

Went to bed at halftime with the Bucks just up by 2. Was shocked to see the final margin this morning.

UNC lost their big man to an ankle injury about midway thru the first half, and it looks like OSU was able to dominate on the boards then.

North Carolina really struggles to score the ball -- but -- Ohio State is very, very good.

Ohio State was dynamite last night, I do believe they looked the part of one of the best currently. Will be interesting to see how they finish.

North Carolina was ranked #7. Yeah they are good.

UNC must be overrated.

Surely!! I watched some of the Ohio State-Cincinnati game and it was 8-8 with 9 min left in the first half, BOTH teams looked awful.

A statement you almost never hear regarding North Carolina basketball.

They aren't real good right now, but they will be.

First time I ever met Holtman was when he was an assistant at Butler. He stopped by Holmes to get a look at a still unknown junior named Beetle Bolden.

I had probably a 30 minute conversation with him about multiple topics. Dude is legit and knows his stuff. Really good guy too. Get used to seeing OSU in the top 15 every year as long as he's there.
