Game...Buckeyes. Now take that level of heart and intensity into next weekend.

Lewis is CBS player of the game...big surprise.

I understand the sentiment, but I don't think we can complain about these refs. That should have been a flagrant foul on Oden.

Was it really as bad as it looked? I didn't get a good view other than Cage flying off the ground. Did Oden push him that hard or did he lose his balance?

I agree, but the whole situation could have been avoided if they had called the original foul of lighty getting tackled under the basket.

Wow... what a game... Lewis, my hat goes off to you, you stepped it up today. Same thing to Conley.

Great game boys, enjoy it.

Time to cover for me.

Damn...

This was a coming of age performance by these young Buckeyes - paradoxically keyed on the clutch and consistent play of one of their elders, Ron Lewis.

Ron Lewis today =

What a gut check......

Way to GO BUCKS!!!

 

[OregonBuckeye]

Sweet 16 Baby! I'm lovin' it'!

 

[Buckeyedynasty]

Just my 2 cents but I think everyone here at BP should change their little sig. line to RON LEWIS IS AN F'ING GOD. I think he deserves it.

God what a great game....

Thanks Buckeyes!

I agree, but the whole situation could have been avoided if they had called the original foul.

Look at it this way, Ohio State didn't have the greatest of efforts for the first 37 minutes of that game and STILL found a way to get into OT and put it away WITHOUT Oden.

The reffing wasn't the best, but it wasn't the worst and honestly it went both ways so let's not complain about that too loudly.

Go Bucks and now that I've recovered from passing out, I gotta get some stitches for this nasty gash in my head

A totally positive thought - isn't it great that two teams from the Buckeye State put up one the best games, thus far, of this tournament?
