Though I would really like to agree with ya here, I can't. FSU is also a late
season team, and the team has shown its tendency to get itself into foul 
trouble early on in a game. This year was supposed to be our first year of
significant depth in the lineup, however, we are currently without Charlie
Ward at point, and have lost Chuck Graham for six weeks (knee injury). If our
freshman are able to step up and do a good job (like they did against Iowa 
state) then _maybe_ we have a chance against Indiana. However, I think that
Indiana's screening offense (which has given FSU fits the past two years) and
their superior overall depth will make the difference. It will definately be a
hell of a game though!

C'mon, C'mon!!!  Do you think that every other school does not also play their
youngsters in their exhibition games?  The "Little East" is going down hill very
fast, and G'town is right in the middle of the slide.

This is in good taste. Just responding with the first thing I thought of...

As previous speculation was reported here, Ayers has announced that
Gerald Eaker will redshirt this year.

Although neither side will confirm, reports are that OSU and Ayers
are days away from finalizing a contract extension that will keep
Ayers at the OSU helm through the 98-99 season.

Some folks provided some good summaries of the exhibition game the other
night - just want to add ny 2 cents:

I think it's pretty well understood that OSU is very, very young, and it's
going to take a while for this team to come along.  Given that, the
shortened practice time this year has especially hurt this team.  Ayers said
that he has frequently had to break down practice and do a lot of
teaching this year.  Much of their strategy is not yet in place.  As an
example, note that they didn't play the full-court pressure the other night
that Ayers likes to play.

So, given the circumstances, I thought they played pretty well.  They were
well on their way to beating that team by about 20 points.  It was certainly
disappointing to watch the big lead fade away, but again, I think that sort
of thing is to be expected until the Buckeyes mature.  There's obviously
a lot of talent.  The Buckeyes, as young, talented teams usually do, will
beat some teams they're not supposed to beat, and they'll lose some they're
not supposed to lose. 

Now as far as the veteran's play, I think the brightspots were:

	- Etzler : Although he made some silly turnovers, I thought he ran
	  the offense pretty well and most impressively, he took the open
	  shots when he had them and hit them.

	- Davis : This looked like the Alex Davis we all know is there.  And
	  did I detect a bit of leadership eminating from him?

	- Ratliff : He *will* contribute this year.  He's athletic and can put
	  the ball in the hole, although he needs to be a bit quicker to the
	  basket, lest he find Acie, Chris, and Glenn putting his shots in the
	  first row.

As far as the new guys, I think the brightspots were:

	- Anderson : Everybody keeps saying this guy was a recruiting coup.
	  Now I see why.

	- Simpson : He already looks a lot more under control than he did
	  in high school.  Give him time - he'll be the Big-10 1st team
	  point guard in a year or two.

As far as the other guys:  why did Watson only play 3 minutes?  He looked good
when he was in there.  Killer Macon looks tentative.  The "insiders" say this
guy will be a big time player - I guess time will tell.  Wilborne played OK,
but he's going to need some time to develop. 

Looks to me like the rotation will be something like this (in no particular
order):

1 (point guard) : Etzler, Simpson.

2 (shooting guard) : Davis, Skelton.

3 (Swingman) : Ratliff, Anderson.

4 (Power Forward) : Funderburke, Macon.

5 (Center) : Dudley, Brandewie.

Of course, there are several permutations of this, particularly the 4/5 spots
and playing Anderson at guard against opposing big-guards.  But I think these
are the 10 guys who are going to get the time this year.

Yeah, but then again they won two final-second games against Purdue.  You
win some, you lose some.

I have seen no evidence that Lou is any worse or better that my alma
mater's coach, smilin' Gene Keady.  In fact, Lou has made it to the Final 4
with a team that should have gotten there.  Purdue had 2 teams which should
have gotten there, and didn't.  But then again, Purdue has not had the
colossal upsets against them that Illinois has had.

Not a ringing endorsement for Lou-do, just stating that I don't consider
him a horrible coach.

Gimel has a hairline fracture in his foot. He will be in  a cast
for a few weeks and can probably be back in action in 6. So, he'll
miss most of the pre-conference season. 

Apparently he received the injury trying to cut a deck of cards
with his foot, cut an ace to the bottom, and another player
(unidentified) smacked his foot w/ a hammer which he'd been
controlling with some kind of pulley that he was manipulating
with one of those emphysema ping-pong-ball-in-a-tube contraptions.
A freak accident all around. The good news is...if the unidentified
player hadn't hiccuped, the hammer would have hit a squeeze 
bottle of some highly acidic mordant which the guys had been
using to fix dyes in the sweaters that they'd been knitting
for the poor -- and then who knows what would have happend.

That's the story I got, anyway.

Personally, I prefer the women's game to the men.  But then again,
that's probably because our women tend to _win_ games... :-)

Seriously -- You're not going to find the exciting splashy plays that
are common with good mens' teams, but you will find some +extremely+
good basketball if you're watching a good team.  I can understand why
someone at a school where women's basketball is not a top-notch sport
would find it a lot more boring than the men's game -- luckily, I
don't have to worry about that.
