    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>"When he's out there, they definitely don't want to drive," Buckeyes guard Mike Conley Jr. said. "When he's down low, he makes them think twice."The Bearcats (7-3) would have been better served by thinking three times.In Friday's practice, Bearcats coach Mick Cronin continually demonstrated how much chaos Oden could create. The impersonation, however, was nothing like the real thing.Oden, who played at Lawrence North High School in Indianapolis, manned the middle impeccably for the Buckeyes, posting up for dunks, making hook shots, pulling down rebounds and daring the Bearcats to challenge him inside. They rarely did, and when Cincinnati's perimeter shooting was off, the game was over.</div> I really want to see Greg Oden on TV. I'm sick of hearing about him in articles. If he's healthy I can't see how the Buckeyes lose.

    Oden is an absolute manchild, I can't wait to actually sit down and be able to watch him play a full NCAA game. I have only seen highlights, and from what I have seen - he dominates everything. BCB, or anyone, do you know when Ohio St. plays on ESPN or something? Any time soon? I'm dying to watch him.
