Another tough game but obviously that's what is expected at this stage of the tournament. 
 
We need to get turnovers, box out, hit our open shots and and play good defense.  The refs will once again play a part like they did in a small way in the Wisconsin game, they took away the stupid charges and that helped us.  In the OSU game I'm hoping they call the over the backs, pushes and slap fouls.  OSU's inside game scares me scoring wise and rebounding wise.  If we have to collapse, it gives them open J's and when you play a zone an open j is different than an open j vs man so if they hit those at a 40% or even 35 we will have a lot of problems depending of course on the flow of the game.
 
I agree with those who said Fab is needed for this game.  X has to keep his feet and not jump at every pumpfake.  Baye has to move his feet better, as does X, and be able to fight for position without fouling and no stupid reach fouls.
 
Mega pet peeve...why in hell do players not go to the body and box out on free throws.  Don't drift towards the rim because if we do that tomorrow it could make the difference in winning and losing.  There is just nothing more frustrating than playing great D for 33 seconds, foul, they miss the free throw and use another 33 seconds and then hit a 3.
 
How patient is OSU?  I'm hoping that they rush and get frustrated on O.
