Oden-mite

Ohio State's Greg Oden is in the middle of what may be a game for the ages, if his teammates can give him a little bit of help.

With 13 minutes left in the NCAA championship game against Florida, he's got 17 points and 10 rebounds. Florida's been trying to play him with 3 different players, two of whom have 3 fouls.

The number don't show his full dominance; Florida's just shooting from the outside, and on defense has almost given up guarding him once he's got the ball, focusing instead on trying to prevent him getting the pass.

Since everyone and his uncle (but not me) picked the defending champs Florida in this game, it'll be interesting to see what happens down the stretch.

The Gators have pretty much been in control most of the game; if they hold on, it'll be the first time a school has ever won both the basketball and football championships in the same year.

Oden's played pretty much the entire game except for 2 minutes; just picked up the fourth foul on Florida's star, Joakim Noah. Down by 11, bit over 8 minutes to go.

Now just under 7, OSU's press has cut the lead to 8; Oden's picked up two fouls in the last 5 minutes, though.

22 points, 11 rebounds for Oden; team's down by 6 with 5 minutes left.

Back down by 11 with 3:30 left--Ohio State has missed 10 3's in a row. That's the story of the game, which pretty much is over....

Florida wound up winning, 84-75. NBA-bound Oden finished with 25 points and 12 rebounds. And CBS, of course, ended the night with One Shining Moment.
