Post from OSU board

[jekelish]

Let me preface this by saying that, for the most part, from what I've read OSU posters (like kyleslamb) are pretty logical, intelligent posters, and I have no idea if this person is also logical and intelligent, but...

"If we can shoot 60%+ from the field and make most of our FT we should be good to go.

I want to see SULLY get another Double/Double

I want to see Craft get another 5+ steals and hit atleast three 3 pointers

I want to see DT get his 25 points

I want to see Buford get his 20+ points AND NOT FORCE ANY PLAYS

Most of all I want to see tOSU play shut down Defense and take this team to the Final Four..."

Um, just so we are clear, if all that happens? NO OSU would win. They would probably score about 146 points if all of those things happen. I honestly couldn't tell if this poster was being sarcastic or not.

Sounds like we only have a chance if OSU only dresses four players.

+60% from the field LOL

I'd be happy if we score more points then the other team.

Which reminds me of my all time favorite Bob Knight post game interview, in which someone asked, "Coach, how did you win this game?" and he replied, "We scored more points than they did." (or something to that effect)

We just need to remember...this SU team isn't playing the same way they were in mid february. Seems like a new team altogether.

Since the second half of K-State we look unstoppable on offense. We were so bad for a while that it kind of got charred into my mind and I was suprised when analysts talked about how good our offense is, but now I see we deserve the praise...at least against m2m teams. Lets hope they keep it up today and as good as theyve been the past 60 minutes on offense, we can be alot better.

There are a few batty posters on every forum. You may have picked out one of the notorious ones lol

And Kris hasn't done yet

And weve barely gotten anything in transition.

My favorite was after his team beat LSU, a reporter asked what did you think of O'Neil? He asked the reporter, which one was he? The reporter said "the big one". Knight said, he was good.

We match up well against OSU, IMO. It'll be a tight game.

Definitely on the right track with these thoughts. An SU win I think may be more driven by the offense even though their defense is what's getting talked about more. We're so used to teams wanting to slow it down against SU (with good reason), but this is the best team SU has faced all season. OSU ( the 't') may well be more willing to play a faster tempo. That would be a good thing.

We all think OSU is the best team weve faced all season, and they may be, but we've beaten some really good teams who know how to attack our zone in conference and we have beaten a Final 4 team in the winner of L'Ville and UF.
