"In our sundown perambulations of late, through the outer parts of Brooklyn, we have observed several parties of youngsters playing 'base', a certain game of ball. Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our close rooms, the game of ball is glorious"
-Walt Whitman
Can not believe Turner just did that. Just one upped Da'Sean Butler.
I never thought that this one would be this close

Another tough win today, hoping for a one seed and an easy weekend next week now, they are going to be tired.
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
I'm still not too sure about this whole #1 seed discussion. OSU's RPI going into the weekend was 29 and I'm yet to find a team with an RPI ranking any worse than 7th getting a 1 seed. Also, I don't think it will improve too much with wins over Michigan, Illinois, and potentially Minnesota. In fact, they are behind MSU, Purdue and Wisconsin in the conference.

OSU will be a #2 seed now that Duke has made the ACC tourney championship. The only chance OSU could get a #1 was if Duke lost before the championship game. I just hope they end up with the Friday/Sunday games to get an extra days rest.
The guys on ESPN radio this morning were giving the nod to tOSU over Syracuse for the last #1. The argument was that you can't back into a #1 seed, with two straight losses. It really wouldn't matter because the pairing of Ohio State/Syracuse will be the lowest one, and the highest two, should tOSU win today. So they will be in the same region anyway.

Why does Ed Hightower have to be the ref in every OSU game. He has to be the worst official in all sports.
Ohio State looking tired so far today.
Agree on the Hightower part. I bet that guy blows his whistle at the hotel during breakfast.
