This one was on ESPN Super Tuesday, so if you give a damn about this, you
probably already watched the game...I'll keep it short.

The relatively drastic changes in the Bucks' rotation continue.  Greg Simpson
made his first start, which was expected, but he was joined by Antonio Watson,
who supplanted Rickey Dudley.  Still a three guard lineup (not new, as 
previously mentioned), but new guys. Watson was a 2 minutes per game man just
a week or so ago...  Also curious was the total absence of soph point guard 
Doug Etzler, who had started every previous game and played 8-20 minutes in 
each.  Coach Randy Ayers cited Michigan's "size and... athletic ability".

Michigan's Jalen Rose was off his game, scoring a season-low 5 points, but
Rob Pelinka took advantage of a rare start to pour in 16 points in 23 minutes 
-- a career high.  Chris Webber picked the Buckeyes to get healthy on, scoring
20 points and yanking down 14 rebounds, after being "held" to 27 points over
his last 2 games.  By any stretch, it should have been at best a 15-point game,
but the Buckeyes dropped some timely long-odds buckets in the final minutes to
make it contested.  Michigan showed a little of their experience/maturity by
knocking in their last 10 free throws "when it really mattered".

Next up for the Buckeyes is Illinois, and finally a return to the friendlier
confines of Columbus.  Illinois has been playing much better in the Big 10
season than they did in the preseason, but if the Bucks are going to get 
healthy, it's gotta start now.  A sweep of this three game homestand, which 
includes the Illini, Purdue, and Penn State, would do a lot to right a tipping
ship.  Hopefully, they gained some confidence from the comeback in Ann Arbor,
and can carry a little "mo" into the homestand.
