The NCAA title will be between the team that knocked out IU (Kentucky) and the team that knocked out Purdue (Kansas).

Ohio State bench attempted zero shots in 29 minutes.

Sully struggled, but was facing the best post defense in the country. That's not a real knock on him.
— Josh and Mike (@bigtengeeks) April 1, 2012
Kansas knows how to win. It's a better Butler. Knows. How. To. Win.

Can't say it enough, amazing job by Bill Self this year. Remarkable this team is in the final.
— Bryan Fischer (@BryanDFischer) April 1, 2012
Buford has tied Jerry Lucas for the No. 3 spot in Ohio State history with 1,990 career points, 19 tonight.

BREAKING: Jeff Withey is a full-grown man.
— Andy Staples (@Andy_Staples) April 1, 2012
Aaron Craft cited for theft at the Superdome. Not really. But he should be with this D.

Someone in Lawrence is going to make a mint selling "Honk if you blocked Jared Sullinger" bumper stickers.
— Eleven Warriors (@11W) April 1, 2012
Next time Sully threatens to take a 3, Craft should steal the ball.
— Bill Rabinowitz (@brdispatch) April 1, 2012
Thomas is normally quite good, but 4 fouls, 11 shots and only 7 points? Not a great game tonight, OSU winning largely without him.
— Josh and Mike (@bigtengeeks) April 1, 2012
The resiliency of Kansas has been strong all year. Yet another example with a 38-38 score.
— Andy Katz (@ESPNAndyKatz) April 1, 2012
Skinny Jeff Withey is really, REALLY getting physical with Sullinger. Didn't know he had that in him
— Gregg Doyel (@GreggDoyelCBS) April 1, 2012
Not enough characters available to describe what all went wrong with OSU to start 2nd half.
— Tim May (@TIM_MAYsports) April 1, 2012
Maybe I'm nuts, but I think Sullinger was more effective prior to the weight loss. Doesn't create space as well this season.
— Jeff Goodman (@GoodmanESPN) April 1, 2012
Robinson scores on Thomas. Not entirely sure why I haven't seen that 37 times already.
— John Gasaway (@JohnGasaway) April 1, 2012
FIRST HALF
Aaron Craft is winning the battle right now against T.Taylor. T. Taylor and Robinson needs to have a monster 2nd half
— Mateen Cleaves (@Mateen_Cleaves) April 1, 2012
Craft is the best on ball defender in the country
— Caleb walker (@caymen25) April 1, 2012
Craft has five points, but more importantly, he was responsible for five Kansas turnovers.
— Eleven Warriors (@11W) April 1, 2012
OSU strong D in 1st half.Contained the transition game of Jayhawks Big deuce at end by KU to get it under 10.
— Dick Vitale (@DickieV) April 1, 2012
Words I did not think I may be typing in late March "Deshaun Thomas' defense leads Ohio State to title game"
— Doug Lesmerises (@DougLesmerises) April 1, 2012
A tenth of a second can make all the difference…
— CBS Sports (@CBSSports) April 1, 2012
neither one of these teams holds up against kentucky. @greggdoyelcbs says the cats are good even when they're bad http://t.co/kCYBJCOY
— Randy Brickley (@RBrickley_CBS) April 1, 2012
Fact: Deshaun Thomas' game looks 30% nicer because he's left-handed.
— Andy Glockner (@AndyGlockner) April 1, 2012
Sullinger making his case that he's plenty tall to play in the NBA post by making shots over Withey. Impressive.
— Josh and Mike (@bigtengeeks) April 1, 2012
Best..lowest..most emotional I've seen Sully post all yr..some feel I was the TV voice of the Bucks
— Dan Dakich (@dandakich) April 1, 2012
We've got Deshaun Thomas AND William Buford making shots and OSU defending like usual. Look out.
— Eamonn Brennan (@eamonnbrennan) April 1, 2012
If Buford's hitting these shots, Ohio State wins going away. Can beat Kentucky, too.
— Mike Miller (@MikeMillerNBC) April 1, 2012
Welcome to the NCAA Tournament, William Buford. If he gets hot, watch out.
