They have TV sets in Dayton now.

And apparently parts of Tennessee too!

No, stealing cable from Kentucky.

Well they weren't watching Phil Donahue in silent films 45 years ago.

Ohio State's slow start to season now looks like little more than that
By Gary Parrish | College Basketball Insider
March 16, 2013

CHICAGO -- Ohio State visited Illinois in January, got handled pretty good and subsequently dropped to 15th in the Associated Press Poll, this after being ranked fourth in the preseason despite losing two key and important pieces.

The Buckeyes were 11-3.

But they had zero quality wins.

So smart people were wondering if they'd just lost too much to be great.

"But we never wondered," OSU sophomore Sam Thompson told me Saturday inside a victorious locker room filled with guys who will play in Sunday's Big Ten final. "There was no point during our approach this season when we questioned ourselves."

Really, Sam?

Why?

"Because we knew the talent was there," Thompson said, "and the coaching staff."

I really like that quote from Thompson because it describes Ohio State perfectly, doesn't it? The Buckeyes always have talent, and they've had a staff led by Thad Matta for the past nine years. Consequently, Ohio State has become one of the nation's most reliable basketball programs, proof being that OSU has finished first or second in the Big Ten standings in six of the past eight seasons, including each of the past four.

Which means it was probably silly to ever question things.

Yeah, except he gets the dates wrong. They had a win against UM on 1/13, he says they didn't have a quality W until 1/19.

True.....but nothing ever having anything to do with Michigan has been considered of respectable quality.

Nice words by Joe. Short and to the point give some props to Thad and the Buckeyes but another guy with a lovefest with the Zags.

Gonzaga is the #1 seed in the region. Usually most pundits go chalk. I think this year many of them have gone off the beaten path at least a little.
