I believe there was a complaint about Matta's X's and O's coming out of timeout earlier in this chat..

[Stardust]

Thomas had a basket in his cradle, I swear. He wants to record points when he wakes up in the morning.

[Stardust]

: Silly, silly, silly.

[Stardust]

That's two on Sullinger. Thad does not think it should be on Sully

[Stardust]

So much contact throughout the game, and that??? and I like Syracuse...

[Stardust]

Early foul trouble for Sully. Huge

[Stardust]

Really hope the zebras don't get in the way of what could be a gem of a game here.

[Stardust]

Oh wait he just missed the hoop. probably not even a foul

[Stardust]

Lets just call everything a foul and call it a day. -refs

[Stardust]

SU needs to attack the basket with Sully out

[Stardust]

Oh .. hope this tournament has reminded us of the important of free throws

[Stardust]

Sullinger's not a shot blocker, Defensive rebounding man-beast.

[Stardust]

now thats some good passing

[Stardust]

So far OSU has had no problems with Syracuse's 2-3 zone..

[Stardust]

That's two for Christmas. Time for Baye Keita

[Stardust]

Great passing, great finish

[Stardust]

Craft fouled by Christmas. Massive pun potential.

[Stardust]

Well O-rebounds are much more likely with Sullinger out and people flashing to the basket

[Stardust]

Three stitches for Smith over right eye

[Stardust]

Syracuse band pandering to the Boston natives in attendance (all six of them) playing Sweet Caroline

[Stardust]

Sully should not come back in this half unless OSU gets in trouble.

[Stardust]

no need to risk more Sully fouls if Buckeyes can keep it close. But there's a lot of time left.

[Stardust]

wow that defense

[Stardust]

Full court press? Matta should go with his two PG set with Craft and Scott. Scott can't shoot, but he has decent handles.

[Stardust]

I think the only way Matta brings back Sullinger in the first half is if Syracuse starts to build a lead.

[Stardust]

Count the number of times Ohio State has a defensive possession where they: 1) don't foul, 2) force a miss, and 3) get the rebound. Offense can get along with Craft, Thomas, Buford.

[Stardust]

Ravenel is a good replacement for Lauderdale.

[Stardust]

Offensive rebounding for the Buckeyes is making up for the missed shots. Cuse missing Melo in that area.

[Stardust]

Buckeyes just giving up the lane off the dribble way too easily.

[Stardust]

Wow. Horrible D on that possession.
