I never though they would win the whole thing because I'm a firm believer in a Florida repeat. But Ohio State will be in the National Championship, no doubt.
With that being said, I think OSU showed the potential they have to fight back when down against a team that literally had a personal vendetta against the Buckeyes (and ironically on the same floor that has dealt with Pitino going from UK to Louisville, interesting). In-state teams are going to play well against each other and I'd love to see those two teams play each other regularly in a non-conference in-state shoot out.
OSU also showed they can put together a huge run WITHOUT Oden in the ballgame and that game today probably did more to help their confidence then anything. If I was Matta I'd be pleased with the way they pulled it out in the end, because it shows they can pull it all together when it counts. That's what winning programs do.

Big Ohio State fan out in AZ and I'm really worried about Tenn if they beat Virginia. They have a tough road, but overtime was a perfect time to prove to the rest of the country that they aren't just Oden and some other role players. Lewis and Butler have taken a back seat alot this year to all the youngsters and stepped up today. Conley Jr seemed to just wait until the right time and took over. Alot of good teams this year it all depends on who gets hot and stays hot long enough. GO BUCKS

Now since they almost lost to a school they should have been dominating the whole game, i think ohio st. will be ready for anything now. They wont be distracted at all. They can easily get in the final four, but after that ithink you have to wait and see who they would face. But Final Four for Ohio St. for sure.

Well... I sure hope so! I picked them to win it all.... but they sure do scare ya, that's for sure. Maybe today just helped them get off their "little high" and come back to reality. They probably didn't have the most competition all season compared to some of the other teams, but they are a decent team.

Are you kidding? They almost lost to a 9 seed today, no way are they winning the championship...I think they will lose to KU.

I think the "scare" was actually just proof of how vastly overrated Ohio State is.

No Way. That game just showed everyone that they don't have what it takes to make it. Let's hope they don't anyway 'cause it'll ruin my picks. HAHAHA
