Oden sold me last night. I was not really sure from the earlier games in the tournement. Of course you saw flashes throughout the season, but last night was the first time I saw him be dominant on both ends of the court to carry the Buckeyes.

The most impressive guy in the tournament was Conley, I thought. Would love to see him on the Celtics.

Seriously, more of this kind of crap and I may be done with all sports forever. This just pisses me off.

Finally a coach realizes it is okay to be at a smaller school and be happy then to go to a bigger school and be unhappy.

My guess is this wasn't Altman's decision.

It was all about Candace Parker tonight. Wouldn't have mattered who played them tonight. Though I'm tired of schools that wear Orange winning titles.

Unless you are talking about the decision being his wife's and not his, I am not sure what you mean.

I suppose it would be too easy a pun if I said "Hold on, don't sell Shannon Bobbitt short" Anosike was a monster with 16 boards, and Auguste's 10 points in the first half felt awfully important to me. 7 titles for Pat, just 3 more to to tie Wooden.

And most happily, Candace just told Trey Wingo that she will "definitely" be back next season.

I'm an Ohio State guy who is not too disheartened by the loss. Hard to be upset to lose to a team as good as Florida. They clearly are the best team, no gripes or complaints. In fact, OSU fans should hold their heads high that such a young team could have gone so far and played as respectably in the title against a great team like that as they did.
And I'l throw this out to the peanut gallery. With or without Oden OSU should be the favorites to win next year. The recruiting class they have coming in may be every bit as good as the class they had last season. They have 7'2" Koufos coming in who shoots threes, a bruiser 6'9" center, and Ohio's all-time high school scoring leader who hasn't met the three point shot he can't hit. If Oden stays they might be talking about doing the '76 Indiana thing. And for dessert, the 08 class already committed might be better than either class.

Leonidas, do you feel the same way if Conley followed Oden out the door? I agree that the future looks very bright, but I can't see them being Top 5 next year without Oden and Conley.

Conley's gotta stay, no doubt. But he's said all along he's going nowhere. And like Florida's Green and Noah his dad was a world class athlete who made a good living at it. Conley doesn't need to come out like some guys do for their family, so I think he'll stay at least another year. Besides, to be a truly great PG he needs to work on the 3, and he knows that. Watch for Conley to really bloom with his outside shot next year.

Conley is being talked about as being a top 14 pick. That might change his mind about staying in school.

No doubt, she absolutely killed them on the boards and Shannon Bobbitt was feisty. I just meant that just having a player like Parker means the other players have to step up and they did just that. I think Rutgers was obviously young and CVS said as much when she talked about their deer in the headlights looks. I think just getting the final is huge for that Rutgers squad and it should help recruiting. I hope Stringer doesn't leave for LSU as I've heard rumoured. She's done such a great job with that program in Jersey and it seems to me that it would be a pretty big blow to a program that she ushered to national prominence, far before we were talking anything about football at RU, just to go and leave at this stage of her coaching career. Though I suppose she deserves a title before she's all done, so I can't say I blame her if she goes. It would just be really nice to see her get a title in Jersey.

Did you happen to see her post-game press conference? Toward the end, there was a comment that struck both me & my wife a little strange. It wasn't what she said so much as how she said it, both word choice & tone of voice. Something about how if she couldn't get back to the Final Four next season, she certainly wouldn't be around there another 24 years.

You know I was on a call when that was happening and I was annoyed, because I too heard that last part where she said "I can assure it won't take another 25 years." and I was trying to rush the person off the phone so I could actually listen to what she was saying. So I dunno if she was saying "no way I'm coaching another 25 years or no way that it'll take whatever team I'm with that long." I think she was pretty confident her players were good, but yeah...it's hard to say what she meant from the little bit I saw. My understanding is that entire press conference was marked with all sorts of curt comments throughout. I'm intrigued to see what will happen. Though if she does leave, it's not as if whoever takes over won't be taking over a team that's not battle tested and experienced now. And maybe she's been there too long and they need something else. I dunno. |

The Internet is a wonderful thing. Here's the transcript from the post-game press conference. http://www.ncaasports.com/basketball...ress_post/2007 And here's the quote: And Pat did a great job. They played well. As Candace said, it was nice for them to return. And I'll never know why. We just seemed to be a little just a little off. And yes, we would like to come back next year, but it's not that simple. So we know what it took to get here this time and I appreciate the team and the support that we have gotten and if we end up here, that's good. If we don't, wow, I won't be 25 more years, I'm going to tell you that, doing it.
