Woohoo page 2 baby! Another solid game from Ivan in the championship game. I think his shooting stroke is coming back to where it was UNC time frame. He didn't put up a lot of points on Sunday but didnt shoot many times either. With Greg being out most of the entire first half out upperclassmen stepped it up. Ivan's defense has been much better lately on the wing and particularly in the baseline corner where we've forced some clock violations and turnovers. If this team is starting to clamp down the D look out! Ivan should get a lot of looks through the first couple rounds in the tourney with teams having no answer for GO. Light em up Ivan!

i must give some props to harris. though his defense was at times flatfooted, he made every shot he attempted, going 3/3 from distance and 1/1 otherwise. in as many minutes as greg played (18), he had as many rebounds (3), too.

Yep, some quality shots taken by the senior, right when we needed them too.

Hopefully there won't be any lingering effects to Ivan's knee on Saturday.

Ivan Harris had an ice bag wrapped around his right knee. Harris' knee is still sore from when Oden fell on it during the Tennessee game. Harris should be ready to play Saturday.

Ivan Harris, senior forward

On Ohio State's match-up against Georgetown

"I think we will be okay. We are athletic and quick and we play smart. As long as we do what the coaches say, we will be fine."

On being one of two seniors on the team

"I have been here for four years and I have been through and seen the ups and downs, but this program stuck with it and we have achieved a lot. Now, we just want to go down to Atlanta win."

On the keys to Ohio State's success this season

"The way we practice has helped us a lot. We practice hard and we know how to deal with the pressure situations. We always think about the positive and not the negative."

Ivan's family misses regional, but it'll be in Atlanta

His step-mom says OSU senior won't be bothered by pressure of playing in Final Four.

The only person happier than Ivan Harris that Ohio State survived last weekend to play in this weekend's Final Four might be his dad.
Springfield resident Mike Harris rarely misses seeing his son play ? especially games as big as the ones the Buckeyes played in the regional rounds in San Antonio ? and he and his wife Rochelle and Ivan's little brothers Benjamin and Peyton were all ready to go to Texas last week when Mike got sick.

Harris looking forward to returning to Atlanta

Springfield's Ivan Harris couldn't ask for much better of a sendoff.
The Ohio State senior's dream has come true as he will play in the Final Four, leading his Buckeyes onto the Georgia Dome Saturday at 6:07 to face Georgetown in the NCAA Semifinals.
It's surely a fitting venue as he lived in Atlanta for four years, from age 9 to 13, and his mother, sister and grandmother still live there, as do many childhood friends.
The only way this weekend could get any better would be a couple of big victories and a championship ring ? which he plans on helping make happen.
"I've got a lot of family and not enough tickets," said Harris during player interviews Tuesday at the OSU Schottenstein Center. "Each player only gets six. But I wanted to make sure my mom and grandma get to go.

FINAL FOUR
Harris says he'll be at 'full-go' today

Scary injury in regional semifinal puts him in a knee brace, but Springfielder ready for Hoyas.

By Kermit Rowe

COLUMBUS, Ohio ? Springfield's Ivan Harris sat on a chair after practice Tuesday at the Schottenstein Center with a ice pack on his right knee, a reminder of just how close he came to missing out on Ohio State's Final Four party this weekend.
His basketball career could have come to an end during the second half of the South Regional semifinals against Tennessee last Thursday. That's when all 7 feet and 280 pounds of teammate Greg Oden fell hard on Harris' right knee while the two were playing defense. Harris grimaced in pain as bad thoughts raced through his head.

Glad that Harris was healthy today. He played well, managed not to get posted up much despite a size disadvantage, and had a nice offensive sequence early in the second half.
