No. 1 Ohio State vs. #9 Xavier (Game Thread)

[sandgk]

When we were down by 9 with around 3:00 left, most of me inside was saying "Game over"...but, deep down I had the exact same feeling I had when Gamble dropped the ball in the end zone in OT in the 2002 NC game, and that is ,"It's not supposed to end yet". And just as the penalty flag came out to keep us going against Cryami, Xavier missed that back end of the 1-and-1 to give us the chance to tie and continue. I hope we are indeed a team of destiny...

Team of Fucking Destiny, Baby ...

The parallels between this team and the '02 football team cannot be overstated.

What a game. What a finish. Ron Lewis, you da' man!!!

 

[BUCKYLE]

All I can say is my heart must be in pretty good shape.

Good conditioning during the 2002 football season, no doubt.

When it comes down to the MVP I hope they remember that without Ron Lewis our tournament would be over

its scary......i was going to post a message saying "im sorry guys but this one is over" with under 3 min to go and i had it all typed up and everything and then i looked at the team on the tv and for whatever reason i hit the backspace key and deleted it away and after that magic happened.....scary.

Ho-Hum! Just another last second shot by Lewis to win the game and send us toward the Final Four!

There's no way in Hell that Ron Lewis or Mike Conley, Jr. should ever have to buy a beer on St. Patrick's Day in Ohio!

Uh, I think you mean St. Lewonley Day.

You are exactly right on that without a doubt.

I don't think we want Conley drinking.

I don't think we want Conley drinking.

I'll drink enough for him tonight.
