Buckeyes Win, Buckeyes Win

Ohio State punctuated its season by defeating UMass
92-85. Koufos and Butler led the way, but a big kudos
to Evan Turner who had his third straight big game
for the Bucks. Turner essentially doubled his season
averages and made a great case for the potential long
in the NIT versus one and done in the NCAA. You have
to believe his performance in the postseason will
have a positive effect. Here's hoping the whole
experience gives the team more motivation.
Congratulations to David Lighty for getting the
championship monkey off his
back.
It's worth mentioning as well that this is the second straight season Thad has led his team to a tournament championship (Big Ten 2007). In fact, in the last three seasons, the Buckeyes postseason record, including the Big Ten Tournament, is 16-4 (6-2, NCAA; 5-0, NIT; 5-2, Big Ten). Not too shabby.
Depending on possible (yet dubious) defections to the Association, this could be a very talented and confident team in 2008-2009. Let hope that postseason winning streak continues.
