I remember hearing on and on....how they were going to KILL UF in football. Don't mess with the SEC. 

UPDATE: 84-75.....as I said, don't mess with the SEC.

Update*OSU has some momentum going right now, bring it home guys!!!What an accomplishment by the 2 dominate universities in the Nation getting to the football and basketball Championships!!*Original comment on 3-12-07*The young leader Mike Conley has really stepped it up at the point, the Bucks have real good perimeter players and of course the monster, Greg Oden. This is a much different team than the one that lost very early in the year to Florida. They have a shot if Oden stays out of foul trouble and they hit their outside shots.

I'm not sold on Ohio State because I don't think there are a lot of great teams in the Big 10. Early in the year they lost to UNC and Florida by 9 and 26 respectively. They also barely beat Tennessee, who they could see in the sweet 16, by 2 at their home court back in January. Virginia is another talented team who has had a great year who might knock them off in the round of 16. Who knows...maybe Greg Oden will come alive and dominate throughout the tournament, but I am not expecting it.

ohio state us great but could they be great without odom? probably not. would mata win coach of the yr without odom, no way. ohio state is a product of one player this yr and has shown it. without odom their a top 5 seed at best.

If North Carolina has the toughest road of the four #1 seeds, Ohio state has the easiest.  They will pound whomover they play in the first 2 rounds, whether Xavier or BYU, and Virginia or Tennessee.  The only upset potential I see in this whole bracket is Louisville.  OSU has several friends on lthe selection committee.
