Ohio State @ Minnesota
Day: Sunday
Date: Feb. 18, 2007
Location: Minneapolis, MN
Time: 1:00 p.m. ET
TV: CBS

Expected Starters:


Mike Conley Jr | PG #1 | PPG 10.3 | APG 6.3 | RPG 3.0


Jamar Butler | SG #14 | PPG 8.7 | APG 3.8 | RPG 1.8


Ron Lewis | SF #12 | PPG 11.2 | APG 1.4 | RPG 3.5


Ivan Harris | PF #3 | PPG 11.2 | APG 1.4 | RPG 3.5


Greg Oden | C #20 | PPG 15.3 | APG .7 | RPG 9.5

Key Bench Players:

Daequan Cook | SG #31 | PPG 12.1 | APG 1.2 | RPG 5.1

David Lighty | G/F #23 | PPG 4.0 | APG 1.1 | RPG 2.2

Othello Hunter | PF #45 | PPG 6.7 | APG .3 | RPG 5.3

Star Watch:


Greg Oden | C #20 | PPG 15.3 | APG .7 | RPG 9.5

Oden is one of the best NCAA Basketball players in the nation and may be the best in the NCAA. He has an amazing inside game and is getting his offensive game up as we go down the road.

X-Factor:


Mike Conley Jr | PG #1 | PPG 10.3 | APG 6.3 | RPG 3.0

Conley in my opinion is the best Big Ten PG. He averages the most assists as a PG and has the best Assist to Turnover ratio in the Big Ten. I think he decides games and that is why he is the X-Factor.

elcheato's prediction:
OSU 80
Minnesota 63

What do you guys think of this new Game Thread layout? I had to get rid of the bench playres pics because I was not allowed to put that many pics.

I like it. Good job.

I think this game is going to be close.  We aren't playing that well for whatever reason.   Hopefully we snap out of it in this game.

And the Buckeyes win 85-67.  #1 Ranking on the way.
