So I won't be winning my September Vegas bet on Ohio State, but they gave me a good ride and I had a lot of fun following the team this saeson. It was nice to have a team to root for in the tournament.
Greg Oden finally played like a dominating big man. He could not be stopped on offense and his defense was great too, and he played without fouling.
The difference in this game was the three point shooting. The final numbers were 4-23 for Ohio State and 10-18 for Florida. And those numbers were padded by 2 late makes by the Buckeyes.
Considering those numbers I'm surprised the game was as close as it turned out to be.
Florida made every big play they needed to keep OSU from getting the lead with 6. they are a worthy repeat champion and probably have to go down as one of the greatest 5 man teams in NCAA history.
Does Lee Humphrey ever miss? 15-28 from downtown in the last three games. He is the record holder for made 3-pointers in NCAA tournament play.
I'm pretty sure Oden played maybe his best college game as his last college game, but what a game it was.
Even without Oden Ohio State should have a good team next year like by Mike Conley who will be one of the best point guards in the country.

I keep hearing chatter that Conley will enter the draft and go in the top 12... which would really hurt OSU next year.
