half and sat the rest of the first half. Then when he came in during the second
half, he was in about 1 minute before he got the third foul. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

about how we’ll do against Ohio State. I watched them against Michigan,
and I think if we allow them to get going, they could beat us. We’re
ranked for the first time in a long time, and sometimes that’s not a good
thing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Looking at the stats, the
team looked to get Mike involved early in both halfs. But he still had only two
shots (and two fouls) in the entire first half. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>In the second half he got more
involved, as he blocked some shots, got some rebounds, but still wound up with
only 16 minutes logged. I agree that Bruce chills his players too early on
fouls, but I also wonder if it's a conditioning thing for Tisdale? If he is
more involved as it seems at the beginning of the half, then it could be that,
or could also be Weber game-planning the first few minutes of the half. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'>Was it just my
imagination, or did Tisdale sit a big chunk of the second half? Was he in
foul trouble? I had to zip through the game on Tivo or I wouldn't have
been able to watch it at all, so I missed some of the details, but it seemed
like by the time he cane back in it was too late. I know Bruce likes to
be conservative with guys and foul management, but sometimes he pulls guys for
too long and they just get out of the flow. Maybe it wasn't fouls, and
maybe he'd have just gotten manhandled even if he were in there, but it just
stuck out to me.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'>As many have said,
the fact that we're even discussing the road game at MSU is an indication of
how amazingly we've overachieved against my expectations this year. The
most I had hoped for was that a miracle run in the BTT would earn us a ticket
to the dance, but Bruce has done an amazing job of getting these guys to
perform. And I agree with whoever said that mental toughness is not an
issue with this team -- we show WAY more mental toughness this year than in
years past, probably the most since the last Final Four team. I think
losing Pruitt & Randall was addition by subtraction...<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'>Now we need ot take
care of the Buckeyes tonight and get back on the winning track. I just
hope finally cracking the Top 25 doesn't go to their heads.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
