Iona gave up over 100 points in a game this year in the MAAC. They are actually a worse MAAC team than Loyola from last year based on their conference record and overall record. OSU hasn't given up 100 to anybody in 8 years.

After watching "The Fighter", I've listened to Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again" before every Ohio State game and wore the same clothes (washed boxers and socks).

Guess I'll keep doing that into the tournament.

Anyone else not messing with the streak?

The first thing about a streak is you don't talk about the streak!!!

More of this talk, please.

This team isn't as good as the Siena team that beat Ohio State a few years ago. They were a 3 seed in their own conference. Nobody needs to be having any flashbacks.

When you look at the defensive efficiency ratings, they haven't met anyone in Ohio State's league. The Bucks need to go out and take care of business for sure, but this isn't Kentucky from a few years ago now...

The first sneak peek at the Gaels
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Iona Gaels, seeded 15th in the West regional, will face Ohio State in their opening tournament game on Friday in Dayton.

The Gaels (20-13) tied for fourth in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference before taking advantage of an upset-laden tournament to beat 14-18 Manhattan for the conference's lone NCAA bid. A generation or more ago, the Gaels had some big-time talent that eventually went on to the NBA, but big man Jeff Ruland was the last such player who mattered, and that was 30 years ago.

The Gaels' chance comes from their fast-paced offense, as their 80 points per game average is third-best of the 347 Division I schools. Junior guard Sean Armand has 108 of the team's 277 made 3-pointers, but opponents must play the rest of the wing players honest, which opens up driving lanes. Senior point Lamont Jones has been a dynamite on offense all season, averaging 23 points and surpassing 30 points six times.

The Gaels would be a mystery for most opponents, as they didn't face a ranked team this season (best wins: Wake Forest, Georgia). Their opening task is formidable, but ... how do you think they'll do?
