THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

ATLANTA -- Final Four, final 36 seconds, a spot in the national championship game on the line.

Yes, there was a lot hanging on those four free throws that Ohio State's Ron Lewis made against Georgetown last night in the Georgia Dome.
What was on his mind?
"The same thing I go through every time I shoot a free throw," Lewis said. "The arena changes, but the mind-set never changes."
Which is?
"I just say to myself, 'Easy,' " Lewis said. " 'Easy free throw.' "

I just want to say that Ron was a great for this university...

He is a quiet type guy and took a lot of shit in the middle of the season for his lack of shooting the ball well, but he showed up big in game with some very big shots...

He provided great moments, and proved to everyone that he was not a kid that couldnt play at a big time school, even tho he had to go to BG before he got here...

I do believe that this tourney run will get him drafted somewhere in the NBA next year in the 2nd round and hope that he has a great career.

Tough nite tonight, but a great career and a great kid. Without him, we don't even make the sweet 16. Best of luck to you Ron, and thanks for the great memories.

Ron made himself a place in Buckeye history with his tournament run... his three against Xavier will be a piece that is replayed for a long time.

Ron - Thank you for a great senior season and all you have done for Ohio State! Good luck with your post-OSU career!

Ron - Thank you for a great senior season and all you have done for Ohio State! Good luck with your post-OSU career!

Holy Crap! What was I thinking? If I could ding myself I would. Maybe it was the getting less than 5 hours of sleep last night...

I will admit that I was hard on him during the middle of the season but he came through when it counted and for that I want to say "Thank You Ron" and the best of luck to you and your son.

Maybe we should thank Litl for inspiring/challenging Ron to prove him wrong :p

Thanks for all your hard work and the memories, Ron.

You'll always have a special place in the hearts of Buckeye fans.

I wish you good luck at the next level, IMHO some NBA team will be lucky to have you.

Thanks R-Lew..... one of my all time favorites.
