Will our Buckeyes beat the Gators?
Keep in mind a few things about the Buckeyes:
1 .....They are 1 of only 2 teams in Division 1 that didn't lose a home game.
2 .... They have a 22-game winning streak.
3 ..... They only lost 3 games all season, and they didn't lose to a team ranked lower than number 7 in the national poll. ( Wisconsin, North Carolina, Florida )
4 ... In the last 10 minutes of their first 5 games of this NCAA tournament, they have outscored their opponents by an average of 25 to 17.
5 .... The Buckeye junior class now has a record of 84 wins and 21 losses. That's winning 80% of their games over a span of 3 years.
Can our young Ohio State team overcome the battle-hardened Florida team?

All of your points are nice (if somewhat meaningless), but Florida's too good. Oden's not faced a front line this good outside of Florida, and the Gators embarrassed the Buckeyes in December in Gainesville. I don't see how Ohio State stops the Horford/Noah combination, especially if Oden gets in foul trouble, which is almost guaranteed.

I've been afraid of an Ohio State vs. Florida final.
But, I'm a true Gator fan, so I don't think so.
Or at least.. I don't hope so.
I just want Oden to foul out. Haha.
I figure the Gators will start get things going in the second half.

FLORIDA WILL WIN. Keep in mind:
1. Florida is much better.
2. Florida beat OSU by 26 points earlier this season. Don't give me any sob stories about Oden being injured. Is he going to put up 26 points?
3. Ohio State is still reeling from the severe beatdown in football, and are still crying about that game. This might put the whole school on suicide watch.

Florida will win it, Ohio state struggles too much in games and a tough team like florida is the wrong one to struggle with because florida doesn't lack off when they know a team is struggling like xavier tried to do with ohio state, florida will take extreme advantage of ohio states many weaknesses.

I hope so. I live in Florida, but I'm a Maryland fan. I just don't want to see the same team win 3 major's in a row, and the 2nd against the same school.

i have them beating the gators in my bracket. they dont have anyone to stop oden. mike connley jr is quick as hell. lewis and cook can drain the 3's. i dont see them losing. and kevin keep in mind that when the gators beat ohio st earlier this season, they didnt have oden. gonna be a big difference this time around.
