    Ohio State took an early lead, but Memphis has gone on a run. Neither team is playing any defense on the perimeter and the guards are dominating so far. Tied up at 13.

    They really aren't calling much either way in this game...[​IMG]

    o Lawd Oden, I would love to see him just pack one down on Dorsey's grill.

    Ohio State leads 32-28 with 3:30 left to play in this game. Mike Conley is playing amazing so far for the Buckeyes, and Jeremy Hunt is keeping Memphis in this game with 19 points already.

    Man Oden is tearing it up on both ends of the court.

    That left handed hook with his right hand blocking the defender was sick.
    Cannot deny that Oden is a presence.
    Mike Conley Jr is playing BIG tonight. I love watching him play.

    Joey Dorsey is an Idiot

    Check out this Bob Hunter column from the Columbus Dispatch. It's spot-on and actually pretty funny -

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"><font size="4">Oden's play leaves Tigers' Dorsey with little to say</font>

    SAN ANTONIO -- Jamar Butler laughed when asked what he thought when he heard that Memphis big man Joey Dorsey had called Greg Oden "a lot overrated" Friday.

    "Honestly? Idiot," said Butler, an Ohio State junior guard.

    Idiot. Yeah, that would seem to cover it. On the eve of the NCAA South Regional final, what's the over-under on the IQ of a player who tries to get under the skin of an opponent who has twice his talent, especially one who has seemed a little down because of two below-average games?

    Isn't there a chapter in the players' handbook somewhere about letting sleeping superstars lie?

    If we didn't know for sure that Dorsey was headed to the Big Mouth Hall of Fame when he told reporters that, we certainly do today. Dorsey had talked about how foul-prone Oden was and called himself "underrated." He predicted 15 points and 20 rebounds for himself and nine points and five rebounds for Oden, numbers so unbelievable that they might have been cooked up by the accountants at Enron.

    Here are the actual numbers: Oden 17 points on 7-of-8 shooting, nine rebounds and one block; Dorsey scoreless, three rebounds and no blocks.

    Now the number that really counts: Ohio State 92, Memphis 76.
