i think thr buckeyes can hang around if they
- make freethrows(i.e shoot 70%+)
- dont get down early (being down 12 to vcu is one thing, a 12 point first half defecit to arizona would be near insurmountable)
- Russell is Russell (he doesnt have to drop 50 for the buckeyes to win, but he does need a typical Russell statline of close to 20, 5 and 5)
- Amir shows up (if amir can replicate his performance vs vcu and challenge kaleb tarchewzski for rebounds the buck will have a shot)
