March 18- What A Game!!!
Whew. What a game!!!
What is being already dubbed "THE SHOT"; Senior Ron Lewis nails a three pointer to tie Xavier with 2 seconds to go. Ohio State (Michael Conley, Jr.) then dominates the overtime to beat Xavier 78-71 and almost cover the 7.5 point spread. OSU moves onto the Sweet Sixteen.
OSU was given a wake-up call. They were down by 9 points with less than 3 minutes to go in the game. All of my kids and my dog were looking for entrance into the witness protection program should OSU lose the game.
But some how, some way, OSU won the game.
Hopefully they will use the game to motivate them to play up to their potential. Almost all past NCAA champions have had a close call on their way to a championship.
I would compare Lewis’ shot to Craig Krenzel’s fourth and one pass with a minute to go to beat Purdue during the Ohio State’s football team’s improbable march to the 2002 National Championship. Hopefully I’m more prophetic than I was about this year’s BCS National Championship Game.
By the way, Ron Lewis graduated from OSU today. Great story – not covered by any of the sports channels because they want to focus on colleges’ low graduation rates.
Check back on April 2 to see if my prediction comes true.
Go Bucks.

Let's hope they don't face Florida. Two losses for Championships would be bad.
Bucks are on borrowed time. But they should beat TN.
J, I've gotta say, I thought OSU was done, and the Big Ten was exposed. Thankfully for them, and not for Xavier, they move on. It seems like every year, a team gets a wake up call, as you've stated, then move on to win it all. Maybe it's their year. I think Tenn will be a tough game, but I'd hate to face Texas A&M right now.
Good to see some sports in your mix. It's interesting stuff.

OSU advances again
