My thoughts on the Ohio State-Florida game:
- Noah and Horford are great defenders and all, but can anyone guess which Ohio State starter had the least amount of FGs in the game? The answe would be Greg Oden. He needs to get the ball more. If he doesn't establish any presence inside, they won't get outside looks.
- I always thought Florida with their size match up well against Ohio State, especially in the Ron Lewis vs. Corey Brewer matchup. Ron Lewis is a very underrated component to the Buckeyes and I thought winning this matchup would be critical to Florida winning. Lewis shot 3-10 and had 9, Brewer shot 7-13 and had 18. Florida won the game.
- Taurean Green's game went completely under the radar. He played amazing and shot 9-12 and 4-7 from behind the arc. It was nice to see the Florida Guards carrying the load as well.
- Mike Conley was by far the best Buckeye out there. When every OSU player was down he kept running and got penetration the whole game. HAd 7 assissts, 5 rebounds, 4 steals. Once he missed a layup, grabbed his own rebound inside, drop stepped, faked his man up and finished inside like a natural in the paint. He was the only impressive Buckeye.
- Why the hell do Ohio State not run Hunter and Oden at the same time? Especially against a team as big as Florida? With two monsters like that nobody is getting points inside. Btw, why did Terwilliger only play 2 minutes? Strange personnel management...
- Lee Humphrey is possibly the smartest guy in the SEC. He's really thinking out there, illustrated by his second half behind-the-back save to Horford. Which brings me to my next point:
- Joakim Noah is a pretty unique player and a great competitor, but is about as smart as a shoestring. Also, he isn't exactly the most articulate guy in the world. "I don't think nobody on this team is scared of anyone. People should be afraid of us."
