he can't recruit, and he's not a good game coach either

After Lewis's basket gave the Buckeyes a 54-53 lead, Northwestern freshman guard Sterling Williams raced down the court, pulled up and tried to pass to center Vince Scott, but the ball never got there.

Carmody said he should have called a timeout to set up a play. "Seven out of 10 times in that situation I call a timeout," Carmody said. "I take the responsibility for that. I saw transition and that is his strength."

Northwestern fouled Lewis and he missed the free throw to give Northwestern one last chance with 1.3 seconds left. This time, Carmody used three timeouts to set up a three-quarters court pass from Tim Doyle to Vedran Vukusic. But it sailed into the Northwestern bench as Vukusic lunged for it.



there's really nothing i can add.
