If just following on game tracker, it would seem Ethan had a tough game, but I thought he did a good job of putting pressure on Utah most of the game. The one turnover I remember was a bad one, but I thought his penetration throughout opened up shots for everyone else. Point taken. And he did have 5 assists and I believe 5 rebounds. Maybe not a great game for him, but certainly contributed to the big win.

I smell a contract extension! Too soon? Hot damn what a end to a game. What a last play, what a shot by an up and comer. What a momentum moment. lets take this passion to the next one! And while I am not super happy with how the season ended up, lets be honest, if we go to the NIT, no way we fire Tinkle.... Not saying that is right or wrong, just saying what is. He won't get fired this year regardless. But all that is a discussion for another day. All about the win today baby.

Nice to see some balance in terms of contributions from 4 starters (Thompson was not good today) as well as lucas off the bench. Ball movement was really good rebounding needs some work. Wayne did make some good adjustments on D and with personnel in the second half so he deserves some credit. Credit is always deserved when things go as planned. Although players have a lot to do with those "plans". I DVR'd and did other things while it was so beautiful out and I was a very happy for Tres that Lucas made the shot. In those situations when the #1 guy gives up the ball and the shot is missed they are seen as not wanting to take the big shot. The Tres of old would have forced that trying to get a call or make. It was the right decision either way... have to trust your teammates! Caveat to a #8 vs #9 win... OSU should have won. Utah is young and without a starter/key player. Impressed with how they played, the inexperience hurt them at the end. I'm glad the whole WT discussion isn't an issue on a tourney win, this is about the kids. I am especially surprised though as over the last 6 seasons the record tied or trailing at half is quite miserable (22-79 or so), so it is a big win in more ways than one. It'll be interesting to watch the Oregon score (will be at the 5A tourney), they are basically trying to assimilate new players into a unit with all the injuries they have had. I'm not sure they will/when be cooking on all cylinders. I hope it's not tonight.

That's a total flop, the stuff that is killing basketball. Tres came to a complete stop. Yeah, after running into him. Look at where the Utah player is set and where Tres ends up. It is passed where he was set up. I don't think it was a flop at all. I do think that he was there a tad too late, which is why I said if he hadn't taken that last half step up -- though without that half step, Tres probably would have been able to stop with minimal contact. Again I said it was a good no call, but I don't think that was a flop at all. I consider a flop to be when hardly any contact. There was more than enough contact for an offensive foul, he just wasn't there in time. It was also a classic "pass and crash" which historically always favors the offense. bang/bang in the final seconds with Tres passing the ball before contact. Good no call in my humble-it-favored-OSU-opinion.

Yes, he did get contacted, but not enough to send him flying like he made it look. Tres body didn't move backwards on contact, didn't move at all even. Yes, you do see that get called, but would have been a bad one, IMO.

To me if the defensive guy makes absolutely no attempt to at least step back and brace himself from falling on the floor then that is a flop. Anyone notice how the flop call was being made fairly frequently at the beginning of the season and now it is called almost never?

Anyone notice how the flop call was being made fairly frequently at the beginning of the season and now it is called almost never? There's already talk of them getting rid of that rule. It's especially confusing when they stick with the offensive foul, but then the defender gets a flop warning.

Hunt is going to bring energy every game and next year as well..Lucas has a shooters mentality and short term memory loss on misses...With Reichle..Hollins..Thompson returning,we have a pretty solid core group next year.Biggest question is in the middle now that the human fly swatter is moving on. This win makes us at least an NIT appearance.Good for Tinkle.He has given OSU everything he has in his tank over his career.
