OSU men's basketball: Lighty's 25 lead rout of George Mason | BuckeyeXtra

Great win Buckeyes.

You know it was a good game when you don't remember any of the opponent's names.

To whom it may concern, ie "the jet and sir charles" that would be you TEMPO SCHEMPO!!!!

Great team performance again Buckeyes. Really liked Coach Matta's substitution pattern and full court pressure today. Hope he keeps it up. Now let's show Kentucky what real team basketball is all about.They are a terrific team but erratic. They play like the freshman they are, which can be good or bad, depending on whether their shots are dropping. They will be a great challenge to our outstanding team defense. Way to play so far. Go Bucks--beat the cats. PROUD TO BE A BUCKEYE.

I am happy I don't have to hear anymore Jim Larranaga's pre-game or halftime speeches. They were annoying. Dave Lighty was on fire today missing only one shot from the field. It was good seeing Lauderdale and Sullinger sharing the minutes. Wisconsin and OSU are in the sweet 16. Mi almost pulled it off against Dook. Dook doesn't impress me at all. Let's see if ILL and Purdue can win tonight.

It was unfortunate that Hancock got food poisoning would havbe liked to see himn play (he played high school ball at my daughters school in Virgina before Hargrave). Somehow there will be an NCAA investigation to see if the preparer of the food has ties to a tattoo parlor in Columbus.

Enjoying reading the comments on ESPN's website. Actually for once not many saying the OSU is going down in the next game, most taking the "it will be a great game" tact. Would prefer that everyone keeps doubting them but it is is getting harder. With Michigan hanging with Duke today everyone should be concerned given Ohio State handled Michigan three times (I know, they were not blowouts but still better than a two point victory or winning in OT like Kansas.

Cannot wait for Friday. Hope it is later in the day, do not want to take a full half day off to watch.

Remember that you read it here first. If Ohio State continues their onslaught on the three point line the basketball coaches in the United States will start hollering for the NCAA to move the line back. They don't understand just how good these long distance missile launchers for the Buckeyes really are. There isn't anybody I dislike more than Dickie Veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, but I gotta borrow his favorite ... AWESOME BABY.

I LOVE TheSE guys and I'm not even gay!

Buford had a rough start, but he kept shooting and finished well. Too bad we couldn't hit 100 pts. Go bucks beat the wildcats.

Awesome!:)

Nice to see that Tressel isn't dragging down the basketball teams.

did you mention Purdookie? How about that Matt Painter -- Big Ten Coach of the Year!!!

Brutus ... Purdue and Illinois are a no and a hell no.

Bucks were great today, period! Totally agree with Coach Pitino at halftime who gave them their just due only to have Kenny "Mark May" Smith try pitifully to proclaim OSU's weaknesses and Charles Barkley say "Let's not carried away with just one game." Well Chuck, how about 34 friggin' games??? Having said that, we likely will have to defeat Kentucky, North Carolina, Duke, and Kansas to win the National Title. We will have to be great to accomplish that and if we do, then we should go down not only as a great team but one of the great teams ever at 38 - 2 and having beaten the SEC Champ, both ACC regular season and tournament champs and the Big 12 Champ in the tournament. GO BUCKS!!!

As great a win as it was, I am most happy about Eddie Days getting his first points as a Buckeye!!!!

They don't want you to have it so their making it very hard to earn OH.

I don't listen to the "analysts" or the game announcers anymore(with a few exceptions of course) so I sleep well at night. I know enough about basketball to be dangerous so I do not care what the experts think of the Buckeyes. I think they are one hell of a basketball team. They are a well-coached, unselfish and very talented team that has played one game at a time all year. Now their laser focus is on the uk wildcats. I like our chances. This IS the year of the Buckeyes. GO BUCKS!!!

Hey Larranaga, tell your team not to talk trash next time.

“They were talking a little junk and it ticked us off a little bit and we ended up going back to our style of play on defense.”

The George Mason bench was all smiles as the Buckeyes missed three of their first four shots and Jared Sullinger turned the ball over three times while also picking up his first foul on the offensive end. They had the No. 1-ranked team in the country on its heels, but they picked the wrong time to start talking trash.

“Absolutely, you see what we did afterwards,” senior Dallas Lauderdale said.

“We haven’t run into a team that talked trash yet, all season. We hadn’t run into a team that talked that much trash. That’s just the way they play, we don’t play that way. We didn’t talk any trash back, we just finished the game.”
