Watching O$U struggle with Purdue...I see Sullinger is still getting away with the "Shaq" move.
Guy just spins and throws himself into defenders, and since he weights 80 points more than anybody else naturally he knocks them out of position and gets the call. He wont' be able to do that in the NBA.

Still doesn't mean IU gets their loss against OSU back!

You would think with all your whining, Sullinger and OSU would shoot a million more FT's than IU.
Sully shoots .6 more FT than Zeller per game, while IU shoots nearly 3 more FT per game than OSU. OSU must shoot more jumpers than, right? I understand that this doesn't take into account 2PT jumpers, but IU takes nearly 1 more 3PTA per game. OSU takes over 4 two-point attempts per game more than IU. It's more likely to get fouled on a two-point attempt, yet IU takes more FTA?
My point with all this... The numbers don't support your whining, so PLEASE stop whining.

So, Sullinger has played two less games than Zeller this year and has still shot more FT's?
Interesting

certainly style of play has nothing to do with this right? From what you have said, Zeller is more of a finesse center than Sullinger... seems to me that if you play a more physical style of ball, you get fouled more, and they probably play to that... and he only shoots .6 more per game, not like that's a outstanding difference. Not sure why there's that much to complain about...

Ouch.......Sully with a forgettable evening. As we've all said, he wont' be able to simply bang into defenders to clear room for a shot in the NBA, as witnessed tonight against two bodies that are just as big as he is.
10 turnovers?!

Wondering when you were going to come in here and gloat... We can blame it all on TV Teddy Valentine, right?!?! Ha, but no, this was by far the worst game I've seen OSU play since BJ Mullens lost to Siena in the NCAA tournament. The only player who decided to show up was Craft. We would've lost by 20+ if it wasn't for his defense. Buford had his typical (for this year) bad shooting game. DeShaun Thomas had his worst game this season, in my mind. Lenzelle Smith couldn't hit an open 3 that he had 10 seconds to set up for. Freshman Sam Thompson was probably our 2nd best player today, and he played all of 14 minutes. And with everybody having a season worst game (even though Craft played great D, he had a subpar offensive game), we still had a chance with a couple minutes left in the game. All we needed was one more player to have a decent game, and I think we would've won. But oh well, luckily it's not football where one game can ruin your season. And did I mention that if you need a player to have a career night, you should play the Bucks? While the Bucks play great team D, they seem to always allow one person on the other team to go off for his season/career best. This game it was Ohio-native Adreian Payne. Earlier it was Byrd for Purdue and I'm sure I don't need to remind anybody about Brandon Paul.

I didn't see the final 10 minutes, I assumed OSU would right the ship and make it happen.

Again, I love how much attention IU fans give OSU.

I love Craft and he played a heck of a game tonight, but what was he thinking running into the lane after he shot his free throw?!? Ugh! Now I have to root for Self and Kansas Monday night. I use the word "root" extremely loosely.

Ohio State played Kansas the same way Purdue did at the end...just gave it away.

The Buckeyes pick up a commitment from Findlay Prep SG Amedeo Della Valle today for the 2012 class. Don't be misled by his handsome Italian looks, he's actually a player.

Napoleon Dynomite has other skills besides "nun-chuk" skills. His favorite animal is a liger.
