Columbus- After Georgetown took apart Ohio State last season, ending the Buckeyes' season by beating them, 70-52, in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, Buckeyes coach Thad Matta walked to center court and told Hoyas coach John Thompson III, "If you play like this, you're going to win the national championship."
Said Thompson, "I know."

College basketball: New-look Buckeyes prepare for rematch
Wednesday, March 28, 2007
By MARK WILLIAMS
Associated Press Writer

COLUMBUS The Ohio State Buckeyes haven't forgotten the last time they faced Georgetown. In the second round of last year's NCAA tournament, Georgetown grabbed a 20-10 lead and rolled over the Buckeyes, 70-52.

"They got us really good last year," Buckeyes Coach Thad Matta said Tuesday. "We couldn't defend them. They got very easy baskets."

It was a bitter loss for Ohio State, making its first tournament appearance since an NCAA investigation into the program while Jim O'Brien was the head coach led to four trips from 1999-2002 being erased from the books.

Georgetown?s Jeff Green, seen here, may be the reigning Big East player of the year, but junior Tyler Crawford is recognized as the team?s leader.

WASHINGTON ? Jeff Green, exercising his usual modesty, said 7-foot-2 center Roy Hibbert is the leader of Final Four-bound Georgetown.
Hibbert said without a doubt that it?s Green, who happens to be the Big East player of the year.
When asked to break the tie, coach John Thompson III also didn?t hesitate. His answer: none of the above.

A basketball player

Jeff Green has become an all-around guy - just what the Hoyas need

By BLAIR KERKHOFF

McCLATCHY NEWSPAPERS

Georgetown's Jeff Green is convinced his role is that of the other guy. There's a genuine "Who, me?" air about him.
When he was selected the Big East's player of the year, he believed the award should have gone to his teammate Roy Hibbert.
When asked about players he's admired, he reaches back for Scottie Pippen. Was he confusing Pippen with teammate Michael Jordan?
No, Pippen. Let Jordan have the honors. Pippen worked just as hard.

This joking exchange Tuesday between Matta and a reporter wearing a Kentucky T-shirt should serve as the final word on the possibility of the OSU boss being in the mix for the Wildcats job.

Matta: "Did you lose a bet, with the shirt?"

Reporter: "I want to remind you that we're looking for a coach."

Matta (after a long pause to laugh): "Are you an alum from there? I'll use real small words. . . . That one is probably going to kill me. I apologize to the University of Kentucky for that. I always say that about the school up north when they tell me they're from there."

Tressel Gives Pigskin Buckeyes Time Off For Final Four

Football Buckeyes reconvene while watching basketball team
By RUSTY MILLER, AP Sports Writer
March 27, 2007
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Jim Tressel is OK with Ohio State becoming a basketball school.
"For four days," the Buckeyes' football coach said, jokingly referring to the Buckeyes men's basketball team's participation in the Final Four this weekend.

Tressel was speaking to reporters Tuesday, two days before Ohio State opens spring practice.
He said -- tongue in cheek -- that his team's schedule for next week included a day off on Monday so the players could "watch us win the national championship."
Tressel plans to fly to Atlanta on Saturday to watch coach Thad Matta's Buckeyes play Georgetown in a national semifinal.
Tressel said he was impressed by the players.
"I didn't fill out a bracket," he said. "There would have been only one team in my bracket, and it's still playing."

Final Four
Not such a stretch
Buckeyes look forward to looking Hoyas in the eyes

By Bob Baptist


THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

After absorbing the worst beating an Ohio State men's basketball team had ever taken in an NCAA Tournament game, coach Thad Matta shook his head last March as he recalled all the long bodies and long arms Georgetown had used to overwhelm the Buckeyes. Thinking ahead made him feel better.
"I think you're going to see a little more length when we take the court next year," he said.

Greetings from a Buckeye in Hoya country

Issue date: 3/28/07 Section: Letters

While Ohio State heads to their first Final Four since 1999, I am located deep within enemy territory. I am participating in the John Glenn Academic Internship Program in Washington D.C. and our housing location is minutes from Georgetown's campus.

On Saturday night, I watched the game at the OSU bar on Pennsylvania Ave., their equivalent of High Street. They played OSU fight songs during commercial breaks and everyone was rooting for the Buckeyes.

So far this week, the media here has done nothing but slam OSU, saying that instead of rioting after Georgetown win, they will go study because they will still have one more game to win and Oden is overrated.

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Ohio State men's basketball players were scheduled to address the media Wednesday about their quest for a national championship.

The Buckeyes take on the Georgetown Hoyas in the Final Four Saturday in Atlanta.

The Hoyas knocked the Bucks out of the tournament last year. This year, the Buckeyes said revenge hasn't been part of the equation.
The team said the goal is to stick together.

Sam Blackburn: OSU needs another complete game
SAM BLACKBURN

So much for heart-pounding suspense being reserved for football season at Ohio State.
Two dramatic games in the NCAA Tournament altered that perception.
First, Ron Lewis rescued the Buckeyes from extinction when he sank a cold-blooded 3 to force overtime during the second round against Xavier.
OSU trailed by 11 points with 7:21 left in the second half and made up nine points in the final 3:51 of regulation. It was easily one of the more impressive comebacks in school history, considering the circumstances.
