#8 Ohio State vs #9 TCU, Thursday March 19, 1215pm ET, CBS


A MUCH BETTER BRUCE.
I don’t think we talked enough about Bruce Thornton’s reaction to Ohio State being selected as a No. 8 seed in the NCAA Tournament. The video the Buckeyes’ X account posted on Sunday was so good.

Also on Sunday, CBS Sports’ Mackenzie Brooks called Ohio State her “Cinderella” pick in the East Region.

“This is a team with a really high ceiling but a really low floor,” Brooks said. “They could be out of there in the Round of 32, but again, they do have a chance to make it to the Elite Eight, give the matchups they have.”

Those matchups include No. 9 seed TCU, No. 1 seed Duke and either No. 4 seed Kansas or No. 5 seed St. John’s.

“Duke is a really vulnerable team right now,” Brooks said. “It is not impossible to think that (Ohio State could beat Duke), and we have (the Buckeyes) favored against St. John’s, so take that for what you will.”

According to CBS Sports, Ohio State has an 11% chance to reach the Elite Eight this year. According to me, that 11% depends entirely on which version of Thornton shows up in Greenville, South Carolina, this weekend.
Nah, Thornton is extremely consistent. He will score 30 if the opponent gives him a chance, if not then he will facilitate for his teammates & it will be up to them to take advantage of favorable opportunities.

World Baseball Classic (USA = 2017 CHAMPS)

i get it was a lefty starter, but after what Gunnar has done this WBC, how does bregman start over him, poor managing from derosa
Bregman is washed AND overrated at this point. You lose nothing with defense by putting Gunnar at 3rd and he was the hottest bat on the team. Absolute mismanagement.
