Wichita State SHOCKERS vs Ohio State BUCKEYES

The Shockers have played excellent from day one of the Tourney and will not be surprised about anything the Buckeyes do. In turn the Buckeyes will ready and they have arguably the best PG in the Tourney that can impact the game from every angle in PG Aaron Craft. The Shockers must not let him dictate the Game as well as control the Shockers back court.

Can Carl Hall, Cleanthony Early, and Malcolm Armstead among others rise to the challenge of playing OSU's DeShaun Thomas, Craft, Lenzelle Smith Jr., and Quinton Ross among others? If they can match the Buckeyes Defensively it will be a ball game as well as match them on the glass. The Shockers do what they do as they are equally effective in Transition as well as in the half court. The Buckeyes likewise as that's why you see both Teams making it this far.
