Florida v. Ohio State

It's 56-46 Florida. Florida has a much better depth and three-point shooting than Ohio State. It's the threes that's killing the Buckeyes. And another thing, Noah blows. I still don't get how scouts can put him in top 5 players in the draft. The top 5 is simply Oden, Durant, Brandon, Julian, and Horford. dkhw

Seems like Florida has this one wrapped up.

EDIT: And yes, Noah probably won't make it in the NBA.  I don't recall him making many jump shots.

Good game. :D I'm so happy Florida won.

OSU downright sucked at the 3 point line. If they'd even shot 20% they'd at least have been in the game. 

I'm convinced now, Brewer is the best player on that team, not Noah.Eman5805

I say it's Great to be a Florida Gator. No team in college history has ever been football and basketball champs in the same year. Plus back to back basketball titles with the same starting 5. Next year looks good in football and Billy will stay at Florida for years to come. Why leave a dynasty in the making.tbombrocks

Tru Dat!

Sorry but Florida basketball will not be a dynasty, and if Coach Donavon knows what to do, it will be to go to Kentucky.  Yes Florida has had an amazing run the past 2 years but that is over. Noah, Horford, Brewer, and Humphrey are all gone. There is no way they can fill that void, they only have a 5 star PG coming next year.  Sorry to burst your bubble though, hope it was fun while it lasted. You do have hope in football though, on the feet of Tebow.

This sounds familiar.....oh yeah, T.J. Ford. 

Grats Florida fan!

P.S.

Donovan is great!  Not a big Urban fan! Spurrier was the best!

Na, I was careful to see who was making the plays a team needs, Brewer was draining 3s playing great defense, and has done so in past games. I just never really payed attention until last night. Horford is a close 2nd. That's just how I see it.

How many Florida bandwagoners are there? I never in all my life remember seeing so many Gator fans.

In terms of size, athleticism, and potential, Horford is one above Corey Brewer, but Brewer will most likely have a good NBA career.

 And as for the "avoided" part, whose fault is it that UNC couldn't beat Georgetown and then go on to try and beat Ohio St., and whose fault is it that Kansas couldn't beat UCLA when Florida DID.

Kansas/ UNC would've ran Flordia into the ground. If no one else noticed with 15 minutes left in the first half, Ohio hadn't ran at all that game and Flordia was WALKING down the court. Now if they couldn't last 5 minutes with Ohio (no offence to Ohio) what makes you think they would be playing good agianst Kansas and UNC the two best running teams in the nation?

QFT. I hate when people say this team would of beat em.....uhh well that team lost so see ya next year. BTW the two most overrated teams in college basketball this year were UNC and Kansas....along with the people that picked Texas to go to the final four, if you knew that team like I did....you would of seen that they were to young to make a run.

I'm not doubting their athletic I'm just saying five minutes into the game they could barely get down the court, and knowing how Kansas and UNC are I don't think they could hang. And to answer your first question I don't know about Kansas I didn't see the game. But Carolina gave their game away. They ALWAYS panic when the other team get 2-3 unanswered baskets and go and shoot nothing but threes. Not to mention when Hibbert got 3 fouls they didn't get it to Hansbrough or Wright agian untill OT. They just didn't play smart basketball.

Sorry about the double post but I'm sick of seeing that UNC was overrated. I watched the selection shows and one guy had them losing to Mich St., another guy said to Texas, and the rest (besides Dickie V.) said they would lose to Ohio St. in the Final Four. The online polls all said UNC wouldn't make it to the final four, they'd be the first number one seed to lose. According to them (The "Experts") we were supposed to lose to Mich St. and not even have a close game with USC. The only time UNC had everybody picking them was the first round. So I would say they were far from overrated, underrated if anything.

Just saying Noah is a superstar takes away every single creditbility from your arguement. 

i pretty much new that Florida was going to put it down against Ohio State.  First game i really had no doubt about the whole tournament.  I'm actually pretty mad i aint get to watch it, but that was probally a good thing, if i watched it they would have probally lost.

The team doesn't work when one thing is missing... I would pretty much say that makes them all equally important to one another. They are all incredible college players but no one on the team is "the star", 1,000 career points for each of the 5 starters makes that clear.Steelers_86

Wow...who cares about spelling in an informal forum? Plus, English is my third language, so give me some slack here. I agree that Horford and Brewer are going to enjoy good careers in NBA, but Joakim Noah will be a big-time bust. All he can do is get emotional yet he's only an average blocker, rebounder. He can't shoot jump shots and his range is severly limited to five feet from the basket. Is that a lottery player or a superstar? Didn't think so.
