Mike Adras, coach of the Northern Arizona basketball team and one of the 31 college coaches who vote in the ESPN/USA Today Poll, on why he voted Ohio State #1 in his final ballot, not the University of Connecticut:
"I voted for who I thought was the best team in the ...

Saint Mary's basketball coach Randy Bennett was a upset Sunday upon learning that his team was apparently not one of the 68 best in nation. So upset, in fact, that he uttered one of the more nonsensical things heard that day (at least until Celebrity Apprentice hit the air): ...

We're not dead, we're just hibernating.
After our (my) self-imposed hiatus, I'm trying to get back into the posting groove. Here's a delayed round-up of some of news and goings-on in Buckeyeland and Blogtopia.
This may only affect a small percentage of MotSaG readers, but earlier this week Gawker (which owns tabloid ...

Congratulations to Miller (sorry, don't have a first name) on his 2010 NCAA Tournament Challenge victory. He correctly predicted a championship for the Puke Blue Devilesses. As much as it pains me to say this, good on ya, mate!
Due to poor planning, the only prize this year is our undying ...

It's that time of year again, ladies and gents. Time to put on your wizard robes and prognostication caps and fill out your brackets once again in the Annual MotSaG Tournament Pick'em.
In years past I've asked people to send me a request to join the fray, but that just ends ...

OSU great Clark Kellogg has taken Billy Packer's place as color analyst for NCAA Basketball broadcasts.
"An industry source characterized it this way: CBS wanted to promote Kellogg, and Packer agreed not to stand in the way."
At press time, there is no word on any possible conflict of interest when Ohio ...

... For which it apologizes.
Who says the NIT isn't exciting? I was at the Quaker Steak last night with my bro-in-law, having my way with a basket of chicken wings with the UMass/Syracuse game on in the background. The BIL commented that certainly UMass couldn't come back from 20 down, ...

2007 was the year of the "Almost!!" for teams that hail from the State of Ohio.
There were eight sports teams from Ohio that either lost a championship game or had the coveted #1 ranking elude them in 2007. Never before have so many teams from a single state reached within ...

For all you video gamers out there, your big man, Greg Oden, is the coverboy (man? old man?) for 2K Sports College Hoops 2K8. They got the picture on the cover wrong, though. Oden going with a finger roll? Puhhhleeze. They needed to use this one.
You can check out some ...

UPDATE:
Confirmed. Oden will declare tomorrow, and will hire an agent. He's gone, folks.
Mike Conley and Daequan Cook will also enter the draft, but will not hire agents, preserving a way to return to OSU if their projected draft status is not favorable. They have until June 18th to make a ...

Here we are, mere hours from yet another OSU vs. UF matchup for all the marbles. Sounds vaguely familiar.
If Terwilliger tackles Conley Jr. after making a sweet reverse layup, I will probably breakdown in tears.
Okay, so let's not dwell on the past. We'll just forget how the last game ended ...

Here we go, let's see how long Oden can stay on the floor.
16:30, 1st half
#1 Ohio State 6

Good start to the game, Oden is asserting himself early on both ends. Good to see.
9:14, 1st half
#1 Ohio State 17
#2 Memphis 15
After starting out hot and fast, Ohio State has ...

Here's the semi-live blog of Ohio State vs. Xavier.
15:51, 1st half
#1 OSU: 7
#9 Xavier: 4
It must be frustrating for Oden to be constantly getting hammered under the basketball. The guy can't move without getting four hands slapping him. It must also get old. Watch for some serious dunks.
11:56, 1st half

We'll be doing a semi-live blog of OSU's games in the NCAA Tournament, starting with today's game against Central Connecticut. I'm already worried this could get ugly.
15:15, 1st half
#1 OSU: 14
#16 CConn: 3
Whoa, Buckeyes start out fast. Lewis and Butler hitting threes and Oden having his way on the boards. ...
