They should spread the floor more and let Conley create off the bounce because thats when OSU is at their best.
On another note Conley is a superb talent who IMHO is the best PG in all of college basketball. Nobody can contain his penetration and it seems everytime he gets within 15 feet of the basket OSU scores whether he hits a floater or dishes it off to Oden or Hunter. He has a very good handle, very good court vision, and is very quick with the ball. His on ball defense is real good for a freshman. The only thing that would concern me as a GM is his Jumper. If he develops that a little more he could be a top ten pick in a year or two.

Their offense was better without Oden? You mean when they scored like 22 points in 17 minutes with him off the floor in the first half?
He's a top ten pick this year by the way. A sometimes shaky jumper (remember he did hit a pretty deep pull up three in the first half) is not enough for me to not take a chance on a floor leader like him. He's great in the half court too, which is extremely rare for someone his age.
