Entry: Folks, I'm trying to calm myself down. Sunday, March 06, 2005



I just saw the huge upset by Ohio State defeating the THEN-undefeated Illinois Fighting Illini by one point.

An outstanding game.  Ohio State never gave up, even though they were down by double digits at the half.  In the last 2 minutes of the game, they got some huge baskets to roll in along with a big block on the defensive end.

At the end, Matt Sylvester was the hero, hitting the deciding basket from beyond the arc to give Ohio State it's only lead with 5 seconds left, and a couple of defensive stops put an end to Illi's undefeated season.

Ohio State won't get into the dance this year, but they just closed their season with a win they'll never forget.  I'm sure they won't mind that as a consolation prize.


UPDATE:  I bet Deron Williams would like to take this back from earlier in the week.  And I suppose this website can be shut down too.

College basketball is the focus of the day.  I'm watching Kentucky vs. Florida right now, and I will be ready for Duke at Carolina; hopefully I'll have some kind of voice left after that.

You know, sometimes you got to love CBS.  CBS Sports, that is.
