Blum: Scouting the Buckeyes

Ha! Ohio State has many good players, but so do the good guys. I think it's a good matchup for Iowa State. Thanks for reading!
I think we matchup well at every position minus Craft, and maybe Thomas(just because he's so damn good). Fred will have a good gameplan to exploit matchups on offense, as always. OSU will look to pressure the ball handler to turn around and get easy buckets. Our key to the game is that Korie plays great like he did last night. If he plays within himself, passes out of heavy pressure and double team traps, and set his team up in a position to win. If he does that, Craft's main strength is virtually neutralized and OSU becomes a bit of a one-trick pony, so even if Thomas goes off like he usually does, we should win. All that is easier said than done, but I haven't lost faith in the guys yet this season so I'm not about to start to now :smile:
Having Bubu come off the bench when Korie gets a little out of control has been extremely effective in the last few games. Keeping him reigned is the make or break.
