CBS is showing the game live.
OSU 21-13: Craft hits a jumper late in the shot clock. This tempo is all Buckeyes.
OSU 19-13: Taylor hits a 2. Which is good since he's missed his last 22 three-point shots.
OSU 19-11: Robinson has yet to score and Buford hits a back-to-back 3. This could get ugly real quick.
OSU 16-11: Releford gets a KU basket. And they have been hard to come by.
OSU 16-9: Buford hits a 3 and Kansas is in real trouble.
OSU 13-9: Sullinger hits 1-of-2 free throws. Neither team is stellar thus far but Buckeyes look more comfortable.
OSU 12-9: Releford gets a three for KU. 12:14 left in the half.
OSU 12-6: Sullinger with a lay-in off a pass from Craft.
OSU 10-6: Craft with a three.
OSU 7-6: Withey with a steal and dunk for KU. Didn't need Robinson on the floor that time. You can't teach height.
OSU 7-4: Now the foul is back to Robinson. This one seems to be official now. Robinson is on the bench.
OSU 7-4: Elijah Johnson gets a bucket for KU. And they are keeping the earlier foul on Travis Releford instead of Robinson. That is huge. Awful call by the officials is the one break Kansas has gotten. 14:54 left. Tracy Wolfson of CBS says the foul call was not reviewable.
OSU 7-2: Buford hits a jumper for seven straight points for Buckeyes. This is the exact start Kansas dreaded. Bill Self has called a time out. He's got to get his team to do something positive. Or at least stop doing negative things.
OSU up 5-2: Kansas is now 1-for-8. This could be a looong night. Tyshawn Taylor just got a charge and an early foul for him.
2-2: Lenzelle Smith hits for Ohio State. Guys are starting to settle down. And now they are talking about giving Robinson's foul to Releford. That would be huge.
KU 2-0: Both teams are tight having missed some easy shots and Robinson picked up a cheap foul. He can't do that.
KU up 2-0: Thomas Robinson hits first shot of the game.
Tip: Kansas controls.
Pregame: Ohio State will be in red. Kansas in white tonight.
Pregame: CBS analyst Steve Kerr is looking for OSU's Deshaun Thomas to be the key player in the game.
Pregame: Bill Self talked in the Kansas locker room and told his players to have "as much fun playing as I do coaching." He wants his team in the "attack mode for the entire 40 minutes."
Pregame: Ohio State coach Thad Matta was interviewed at halftime of Kentucky-Louisville and said he isn't looking for individual matchups but that the "best team basketball" will win and it will be "40 minutes of one play after another."
Pregame: This will be the fifth Final Four in New Orleans, which has been a great site for the tournament finales. In 1982, North Carolina beat Georgetown 63-62, with Michael Jordan hitting the final go-ahead basket for the Tar Heels. In 1987, Indiana nipped Syracuse in the final seconds, 74-73, on a Keith Smart basket. In 1993, North Carolina defeated Michigan, 77-71, in a game that's best remembered for Chris Webber getting a technical foul for calling a timeout when Michigan had none left. And in 2003 Jim Boeheim finally won his first national championship as Carmelo Anthony led Syracuse to a 81-78 victory over Kansas.
