In Thad We Trust

Thad Matta’s troops earned the schoool’s 9th Final Four appearance and first since 1968 in a 92-76 demolition of Memphis. It was another total team effort – 4 Buckeye starters reached double figures and Daequan Cook and David Lighty combined for 16 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals [...]

Joey Dorsey has diarrhea of the mouth. In a not-so-shocking development, the Memphis forward called out Greg Oden in today’s press conference, calling the future #1 draft pick ‘overrated’:
