OSU MEN?S BASKETBALL
Underdog role fits Xavier
Musketeers have history of shaking up favored teams

LEXINGTON, Ky. ? Standing outside his team?s locker room in Rupp Arena just after midnight Thursday, the first round of the NCAA Tournament behind him, Xavier coach Sean Miller reflected on his next game, against friend and mentor Thad Matta of Ohio State. Miller was asked how much the teams mirror each other because of the coaches? common bond ? Matta coached Xavier from 2001 to 2004 and Miller was his top assistant ? or how much different Ohio State is because it has Greg Oden.

Grudge ridiculous to everyone except Musketeers fans

LEXINGTON, Ky. ? When the Great Satan entered Rupp Arena and took a seat at the press table to watch part of Xavier?s victory over Brigham Young on Thursday night, a large contingent of the Musketeers fans let that despicable monster have it. The boos and jeers directed at the Great Satan ? Ohio State coach Thad Matta to those who don?t have ties to Xavier ? will probably be even louder and crueler today. This apparently is the price of disloyalty, although three years later, the size of the check seems a little steep. Xavier fans resent Matta because their former coach publicly denied interest in the Ohio State job right up to the day he accepted it.

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
LEXINGTON, Ky. ? A significant moment in the awakening of the Xavier men?s basketball program occurred on a night 23 years ago in the smoky old Cincinnati Gardens.
A crowd of 9,715 saw the players use a funky red-whiteand-blue basketball in a firstround NIT game ? televised only on a Cincinnati station ? that ended in an eruption of euphoria when Xavier upset Ohio State in overtime, 60-57. "The Ohio State game caught the imagination of the city beyond the core Xavier fans," said Joe Sunderman, a former Xavier player in his 27 th season as the team?s radio announcer. "The Gardens was rocking. It was a great night, and a night people still recall."

OHIO STATE NOTEBOOK
Bragging rights on line for Lewis, Lavender

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
NEAL C . LAURON DISPATCH Xavier?s Drew Lavender said he has been trash-talking Ohio State?s Ron Lewis, a former teammate at Brookhaven. The two will face each other today in a second-round NCAA Tournament game.
LEXINGTON, Ky. ? A long, tight friendship between Drew Lavender and Ron Lewis will be put on hold for 40 minutes of basketball today.
Lewis, a senior swingman for Ohio State, and Lavender, a junior point guard for Xavier, were teammates at Brookhaven and led the Bearcats to the 2002 Division I championship. Today, 170 miles south of their Columbus hometown, they meet in a second-round NCAA Tournament game in Rupp Arena.
