I still don't understand why people continue to make excuses for Ohio State each time they lose.
 
Against Kansas: Shouldn't count because they didn't have Sullinger
Against Indiana: IU already beat UK and it's a tough environment to play in
Against Illinois: A guy had a career game
 
Fact of the matter is, they LOST all 3 games. On the road. Great teams find a way to win on the road in spite of the circumstances. We were without a key reserve in Providence and our bigs were in serious foul troublem, causing us to go with a small lineup. We pulled out the win by double digits against the same team that just spanked Louisville by 30. Not saying Baye is anything like Sullinger, but we were still in serious trouble in Providence and got the W.
 
And the career game? Yeah it happens. But why didn't Matta try to shut him down after his 5th or 6th 3-pointer? Where was the defensive adjustment?
 
Of course, I agree that Ohio State is extremely talented and might very well be in the Final 4 come March/April. But for now, they have 3 losses. Plain and simple. There should be no excuses for them anymore.
