I have to disagree. After seeing OU for the first time last night all season, I came away more impressed with ETSU's athleticism than Ohio's. Maybe I saw a bad example, but the Bobcats looked unmotivated, inaccurate, and very weak on defense. We had no answer for their number 3 (Tubbs) and we could not slow down Mike Smith.  Add to that their beef in #44 J.C. Ward and Ohio REALLY struggled inside. ETSU took away Ohio's inside game, and our outside game was bad throughout, with the lone exception being when we snuck past ETSU for the brief lead. I was surprised to see our guys picked off the dribble, including Cooper and I think Kellogg. I thought one or two of the fouls called on Baltic were questionable, putting him in foul trouble early. Without him, our inside D was even more suspect, and Smith continually diced it.

It took us some time to get used to their length.    Still we did a pretty good job hanging with them even though Tubbs was hitting shots out of his arse.    I've never seen so many 3s go in hitting that much rim.  Odd rims.  Mike Smith reminded me of Tim Pollitz.  We had a shot to win but I think overall they were the better team most of the night.  The difference was that they were strong enough around the rim to hit their shots.  Back to Top OUcats82 General User Member Since: 1/9/2005 Location: Cincinnati, OH Post Count: 1,882 Status: Offline     RE: Too Little Too Late    Posted: 3/23/2011 10:55:45 AM  May as well just go to bed.....and start dreaming about next year....
