I wouldn't play the "what if" game with this team because there have been a handful of close games that OSU has won. I'd say the Buckeyes have prevailed more often than not in games that came down to the wire this season. They had to rally and had just a 1-point lead within the last 30 seconds at Northwestern (won by 4). While it wasn't super close at the end, they had to rally at Rutgers. The Buckeyes had to get a bucket from Tilly in the final possession to beat ND. They had to go to double-OT to beat West Virginia, and OT to beat Minnesota. The other reason I don't look back and wonder "what could have been" is there are plenty of chances looking ahead that offer this team the opportunity to earn their way into the tournament. I feel like they've improved as the season has developed so they have legitimate hopes of earning their way into the field with the games remaining on the schedule, and it's not going to take them performing over their heads to do it.
