OHIO STATE MEN?S BASKETBALL
Buckeyes need to foster more leadership

Bust somebody upside the head?
That?s what coach Thad Matta said Je?Kel Foster would have done had he been on the court when the Ohio State men?s basketball team was unraveling in the second half at Penn State.
Jamar Butler smiled when he heard it.
"Somebody would have had stitches, I guarantee that," said Butler, Foster?s running mate at guard the past two seasons. Matta mentioned Foster ? "Coach Matta talks a lot about Je?Kel," freshman Daequan Cook said ? as if wishing he had someone like him on this team, an upperclassman with the chutzpah to snatch wayward teammates and shake them back to their senses when they are, as they were Wednesday, in the process of losing a 24-point lead in the second half.

OHIO STATE NOTEBOOK
No. 1? Buckeyes consider possibility
Monday, February 19, 2007

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
MINNEAPOLIS ? Will playing like a No. 2-ranked team is expected to play get the Ohio State men?s basketball team the respect it needs to be No. 1?
"Hopefully," guard Ron Lewis said.
Top-ranked Florida?s loss at Vanderbilt on Saturday opened the door for the Buckeyes to move up in the polls if they did their part yesterday. They did, beating Minnesota 85-67 in Williams Arena for their 11 th consecutive victory.

Buckeyes lay claim to No. 1 ranking
Oden collects 19 points and nine rebounds as OSU clobbers Minnesota for 11th straight victory.
By Jon Krawczynski

Monday, February 19, 2007
MINNEAPOLIS ? The last time Ohio State was No. 1 in the AP men's basketball poll, John Havlicek, Jerry Lucas and a sub named Bob Knight were leading the Buckeyes to the NCAA championship game.
That was 45 years ago, but after Greg Oden and No. 2 Ohio State breezed to an 85-67 victory over Minnesota on Sunday, Hondo and the General might finally have some company.

Lewis loses start but not focus
Senior goes for 16, OSU beats Gophers
Monday, February 19, 2007Doug Lesmerises
Plain Dealer Reporter
Minneapolis- Ron Lewis lost his starting job in practice this week. Sunday, Ohio State's senior swingman and his men's basketball team played as well as they have in a month. That wasn't a coincidence.
Following Saturday's loss by No. 1 Florida, the No. 2-ranked Buckeyes should ascend to the top spot in the polls this week, and they played like they deserved it in an 85-67 win at Minnesota. They played that way because they practiced that way, with coach Thad Matta recently implementing a new reward system: starting jobs are earned in practice.
Cont'd...
