Ohio St is a fraud team

Not just because they lost today (very tough place to win) but IMO I dont think they have enough offense to win it this year. Out of all the top teams they are my most likely to not make a sweet 16...

all depends on their draw in the tournament, they have final four potential IMO

averaging over 75-76 pts a game. How much offense do you want?

it took one of the best games of the year by a guard in moore and osu played one of their worst. on the road and it was close until the end. osu is the best in the big 10 without a doubt but i think their lack of depth may catch up to them as they move on in the tournament. Sullinger is sick tho...they should have fed him more today

You can score all the points you want against gargabe teams and at home against better teams on the road it looks like they just dump it down and hope Sullinger bails them out. They are a very good team no aruging that. I just think out of Kansas, Pitt, Texas and even Duke they are the most likely to get bounced early from the tourney.

Sweet-16 should be easy as 1st 2 opp wont be much...

93 scored on Florida, 87 on Purdue, 73 on Illinois, 82 on Minnesota, who are far from horrible teams. They have final 4 potential. Those teams you mention are 4 of the other best teams in the country. Does not mean they overrated because they are not as good as those teams.

Yes, that was my only point. They are obviously one of the better teams in the country but as far as potential #1 or 2 seeds go I just think they will be the first or one of the first top seeds to get knocked out. I'll go so far to say that if they get the wrong 8/9 matchup(UCLA, Bama someone like that) they will not make the sweet 16

I agree....

Be happy to take a bet on that one (not making Sweet 16)
This team is as good as any in the top 5.........every time a good team loses everybody thinks they are overrated...
the only two times OSU has lost it has taken career games by individual players to beat them...
Heard the same crap about OSU before the bowl game.....Seems to me they won that one (of course they got REALLY LUCKY)
Only problem with Buckeyes is their lack of depth...offense not a concern, they have four of the best offensive players in the nation
