They have been down by at least five in each of their last three games in the tourney. UNC or Georgetown will dominate them.

Obviously. If theyre in the Final Four, then theyre for real. And to the guy who said that if Tenn. gave them that kind of a game, then theyd get murdered by Florida. Well, Tennesee beat Florida, and Tennesee was up by a few dozen points, just like against Ohio State, and Florida made a huge comeback and tied, but couldnt do seal the deal and lost. Ohio State on the other hand, won against Tennesee after being down by that much.
The thing about Ohio State is that they play good enough and keep the score reasonably close in the first half (whether theyre winning or not), but in the second half, they kick it into high gear and blow the other team away. It catches the other teams way off guard and usually, the Buckeyes never trail again.
Ohio State is for real enough that I think they can beat any team left, even Florida.
GO BUCKEYES!

OSU is definitely for real. They showed they have the ability to come back from huge deficits and Thad Matta has this team inspired. Even though Oden has been getting in foul trouble and hasn't been playing his best, Conley and Lewis have lifted this team onto their shoulders. Also, David Lighty, the kid off the bench, is playing with a ton of confidence and energy and is a playmaker along with Jamar Butler. They have realized they can't get off to bad starts like they did against Xavier and Tennessee, so they came out ready against Memphis. Yes they trailed for a while, but stayed within striking distance and when crunch time came, they took over.

OSU is for real. Think of it like this. If you can come back from 5 points in a tournament where everyone raises their game. Then you're doing something right. You see every team they play is different. So they have to adjust fire when they play the different teams usually as they play them. Showing that you can adjust your game plan to the right point so that you can win shows a team full of winners.

If you remember how good a team they were before Greg Oden was healthy enough to play in December. I think even though Oden plays half-asleep most of the time, guys like Conley, Lewis, and Butler will do whatever they need to in order to win.
