Would Oden have been the difference?

Dicky V was saying he thought UCLA was #1....I dont see how you could say that after watching this game.

[gametime]

Fun to watch. Very impressive from both...

[stickymitts]

WOW!!!

 

That's the UNC team I thought we'd see. Hopefully they clamp down on the defensive side by March.

 

OSU will be there in the end. Especially when Oden gets back.

 

WHAT A GAME IN NOVEMBER!!!

I doubt it, but you never know...

Would Oden have been the difference?

 

possibly

[stickymitts]

I doubt it, but you never know...

 

At that pace, he would've been the difference in UNC winning by at least 15. I'm not sure 7'1" helps OSU against that UNC style of basketball...

Give me Oden and a rematch. Great game by Hansborough of UNC and Lewis from Ohio State.

Did anyone get the impression Matta was calling plays and the OSU players did their own thing?

Impressive group, OSU that is. Once they learn good shot selection, they will be really tough.

Lewis best 2G in nation?

 

UNC was good, and can they push the ball in transition.

 

It iwll be interesting to see how these two teams adapt to playing teams that will be more patient in the halfcourt.

 

These two teams along with Florida and Kansas sure look like they are on a different level than anyone else.

I like UCLA...they are a team that can run, but are physical on defense.

Lawson flat out flies...

BTW, guard that kid from OSU when he's in the corner...GEEZ!!!

[Brewsky]

The ability of Afflalo and the toughness of Mata will keep UCLA in the discussion, but I have seen other teams that are deeper and better.

Post #2

 

If Oden plays, does OSU win? Some have said NO, what say the rest of you?

 

I tuned in just to watch the big guy play against awesome competetion. I didn't realize he was hurt
