<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Greg Oden heard the sellout crowd in Value City Arena serenading him with chants of "one more year." "I was, too," coach Thad Matta said with a smile. Oden was too coy to answer their prayers, however, after the Ohio State men?s basketball team beat Wisconsin 49-48 and won the Big Ten championship yesterday in its final home game of the season ? perhaps the last the 7-foot freshman will play in the building. "I thought they were talking about Ivan," Oden joked later, referring to senior teammate Ivan Harris. "And then Ron (Lewis) popped into my head," he added, referring to the team?s other senior. Oden finally said, seriously, that he does not know what his decision regarding the NBA draft will be, only that he will make it after the Buckeyes? season ends. "We?re not done yet," he said. Oden?s mother, Zoe, tried to shush the crowd with an index finger to her lips as it pleaded with her son to stay for more than one season at Ohio State. "You think about it all the time, but it?s up to him to make up his mind," she said. "I?m like everybody else. Sometimes I get the idea he?s going to stay and other times I get the feeling he?s ready to come out. "I want him to be happy and I want him to do what is going to make him happy. He doesn?t have to do it for anybody else but him." She said that even though her son has not made a decision, he can?t help but think about it. "Every day he picks up the (newspaper) like everybody else," she said. "I think about it, you think about it, everybody thinks about it." Matta said he and Oden have had one conversation about the decision. They agreed before the season to not talk about it again until after the season. "When that time comes, whatever he wants to do, I?ll support him all the way," Matta said. </div> Source
