The Ohio State Buckeyes basketball team was the number one overall ranking when the seedings came out for the March Madness tournament. With the number one overall seed and number one spot in the East bracket, the buckeyes still have a tough road into the Final Four and to the National Championship.
In the first round of the tournament they faced the University of Texas- San Antonio with an obliterating win over the 16th seed Road Runners. They weren’t fast enough to out run the Ohio State Buckeyes fast, up-tempo pace. They were physically over powered by the buckeyes and overall beat in every aspect of the game. The Buckeyes advance to the second round.
Against George Mason, the Ohio State University Buckeyes got off to a slow start but that was seemingly erased when the buckeyes hit a couple of key three pointers and some easy fast break dunks. The Buckeyes, lead by senior David Lighty, was 7 for 7 from beyond the three point arc which was one away from setting the record for the NCAA tournament. The buckeyes ended up with a blow out win over George Mason and moved on to the Sweet 16. The Sweet 16 is the elite of the elite, only 16 teams remain in their stride for glory and the right to be crowned a National Champion.
The Buckeyes face the Kentucky Wildcats tonight for the right to be in the elite 8. Only 4 more wins for the Buckeyes until they can be the National Champion. If the Buckeyes happen to win tonight, they will play the winner of the Marquette and North Carolina game that will be okayed tonight also, in the elite games that will be played later this weekend. Hopefully everyone’s bracket will take another turn for the worst and North Carolina will lose tonight to the Marquette Golden Eagles, but everyone will be right in the pick of the Ohio State Buckeyes. Go Buckeyes!
go bucks !
