November 30, 200619 yr Author I've been wondering... Since UK plays UNC @ UNC this year does that mean UNC will come to Lexington next year ?.....Hopefully
November 30, 200619 yr Wayne Ellington - 19 Pts (on his 19th B-day...pretty cool) What makes it more cool is that he said before the game he was going to score 19...
November 30, 200619 yr Author What makes it more cool is that he said before the game he was going to score 19... True lol
November 30, 200619 yr I think OSU can win the national football and basketball championship this year......When OSU gets Oden thay are going to be tough to beat...Brandon Wright sure would of looked good in a UK uniform...
November 30, 200619 yr Lewis actually had 30 for OSU. UNC could not stop him tonight. Very nice player who brings much needed experience to this team. This game probably had the best collection of young talent on the floor at the same time that I have ever seen. Can't wait to see what Oden can do. UNC is going to give UK a lot of matchup problems. The Cats will have a lot of trouble keeping the score down and containing Lawson because they don't have anyone near as fast as him. They'll have to try and make it a half court game because they do not want to try and run with the Heels. It should be a good game though, and I'm already excited for Saturday.
November 30, 200619 yr Extremely impressive talent, on both teams. Great college game, atmosphere and another reason, while college athletics is my favorite.
November 30, 200619 yr Nice win for UNC. These 2 teams have so much talent its crazy. And as for Oden, at this point in the season I don't think we would have made that much of a difference maybe later in the season. Hansbrough would have abused him anyways.

And as for Oden, at this point in the season I don't think we would have made that much of a difference maybe later in the season. Hansbrough would have abused him anyways. He would have been abused tonight for sure. Did anyone else notice that UNC wasn't whistled for a foul until 12:18 seconds had passed in the 2nd half and didn't commit their 3rd foul until less than 45 seconds remained. They've got a fine team but when you're allowed to crash the offensive glass with impunity no matter how much contact occurs it greatly helps your cause. They probably would have won anyway but the absence of Oden and the foul dispartiy in the 2nd half sealed the Buckeyes fate.
November 30, 200619 yr Great college basketball game. The atmosphere was like a game in late March. I wouldn't doubt that a rematch will be played in late March:eek: Both these teams are extremely talented to say the least. Imo UNC/UCLA are the two best in the nation with OSU, Fla. and Kansas right behind them. How scary will OSU be when they get Oden back :scared: !
November 30, 200619 yr Author http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/recap?gameId=263330153 ESPN.com - NCB - Hansbrough, UNC take advantage of Oden's absence Nice article Ohio St shot 52% in the first half... UNC has 3 freshmen averaging double figures in points (Wright, Ellington & Lawson) Granted they have only played 6 games but the future looks very bright for the Tar Heels
November 30, 200619 yr I'm not sure 7'1" helps OSU against that UNC style of basketball... How many points and boards did TH have for UNC? That's where Oden comes in.
November 30, 200619 yr Here's hoping for a UNC letdown on Saturday. If UK stays within 10 at Chapel Hill, I'll be happy.
November 30, 200619 yr He would have been abused tonight for sure. Did anyone else notice that UNC wasn't whistled for a foul until 12:18 seconds had passed in the 2nd half and didn't commit their 3rd foul until less than 45 seconds remained.

They probably would have won anyway but the absence of Oden and the foul dispartiy in the 2nd half sealed the Buckeyes fate. With the fouls being called like they were, and the shot clock situation at the end of the 1st half, I believe a little "home cooking" helped UNC. I would like to see a rematch at a neutral site. That would make for a better game.
November 30, 200619 yr 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... He's not Shagari or Woo for UK. He's actually athletic and can move. He would have been fine in this type of game.
