ZoomSlowik Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Man, if you would have told me that OSU would have 10 made 3's and still be down 10 I'd say you were nuts. Oden hasn't been that big a factor, I'd say it's a combination of good defense, the guards not getting him the ball very often when he's in good spots, and Greg not taking it up strong. Lewis and Cook have been bad as well, the former hasn't been that good of late and the latter is very streaky. Harris and Butler have kept it close. Great D for Wisconsin, they're really swarming and have enough size to bother Oden. Tucker, Taylor, and Flowers have been great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Jan 9, 2007 -> 08:52 PM) High Definition broadcasts have nothing to do with a particular stadium. TV cameras aren't installed in a stadium or arena. A production company brings everything in and most of the time that is subcontracted out. Most of the employees working a TV broadcast are not employed by the network airing them, but subbed out. I have never worked an HD broadcast, but I have worked broadcasts for both Fox Sports Net and ESPN. In both instances, my check came from a production company, not the network. There are a limited number of HD TV trucks. ESPN cut back on HD basketball programming during bowl season, I assume due to the lack of HD trucks. Many times, whether a game on ESPN is in HD or not depends on other games that day and trucks available. You are aware we were joking about that right? Good info though.

As of right now, they kind of remind me of last year's UConn team. They've got all the pieces but aren't sharp enough yet. Lewis and Cook need to get their s*** together and become more consistent if they want to make serious noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ton, they havent yet learned how to play together especially with a potentially dominant big man. They are a team that should improve throughout the year. I get the feeling that Wisco and OSU may split the series this year, both winning at home. That should make for some interesting games later on.

That should make for some interesting games later on. They definitely need to work on getting the ball to Oden in good spots. They need to lob it over the top so he can get more dunks instead of throwing it into him in the post. He's just not good enough offensively at this point to consistently score that way, especially with the wrist issue. They need to find him in transition too, he runs the floor well and that's easy points. As I type OSU is trying to make it interesting again, only down 3. OSU Missed a 3 at the buzzer that would have tied the game. They finally got the ball to Oden in space with Wisconsin concentrating on the perimeter.

Actually, I was just about to post about that game. I have no clue what the f**k happend there. I mean, I know they are not in the top tier of the Valley, but how in the hell do you lose by 52 freakin points with three seniors??? Not that it hasn't already been time, but it is definitely time to get rid of Coach Merfield. He's just not getting it done at all. Anyone got any ideas on who could be a good replacement? It would have to be someone that can recruit to a university with higher academic standards than state schools. The university is very small (2,800 students?) and predominately white in a german catholic city. Not that a lot of Valley schools are in real exciting cities, Evansville is pretty conservative without much nightlife. Combine that with a super small student body and it does not make for a real enticing situation for a lot of kids these days. The positives... A strong tradition and a fan base that will supoort it like few others when the product is competitive. When I was in school and for a few years after in the early 90's, they averaged around 10,000 per game which is not bad for a school with less than 3,000 students. Academics are strong and the program is the focus of the community when going strong, both in-season and out of season. With IU being so dominant in the state, someone with ties to IU with some name recognition could provide an instant spark (see Jim Crews in the mid 80's) to the program. I'd be interested in the thoughts of some of you guys. There are some pretty good basketball minds in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHarris1 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 ODEN WAS OPEN What a finish, I thought for sure Taylor would knock down both. Great win for Wiscy even though they almost let it slip away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, Wisco is also too experience at this point compared to OSU, they still dont know how to play together. Im sure they will figure it out soon enough, but at this point, its somewhat ugly at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup and fortunately for OSU they are talented enough to get by most teams even without playing great ball together, and there is still plenty of time for them to gel before March.

Soxbadger Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Was a good game, Wisconsin needs to hit more ft's at the end of the game but outside of that they played really well. It seemed that Oden still is not 100% in shape, at times he seemed tired and Wisconsin was effective running and penatrating before Oden could get back. With 2 more potential match ups it will be interesting to see what changes. I really like OSU as a team and think that they are capable of beating anyone. Today they just played against a more experienced team on the road. Great effort. Landry was outstanding, Bo got a little carried away matching him on Oden. Badgers mainly stayed with their normal offense, Taylor was hot so it made the game much easier otherwise Wisconsin could have really struggled and had to get more creative. Should be a good season for both teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedoctor Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 great game tonight. taylor and tucker played really well. as much as i'm not a huge wisconsin basketball fan i have to say that after a few years tucker has grown into one of my favorite all-time hoops players. he just gets it done. i'm not sure how his game translates to the pro's, but time and time again he gets it done. i'm also becoming more and more convinced that ohio state has a final four team on its hands. i'm not sure they're going to win it all, but i truly believe they'll be right there when it's all said and done.
