The Road to the Final Four (in a Buick)

Thursday, March 24th, 2011

So I mentioned earlier this week that I had some big news to announce concerning the Final Four. This is it. Buick (the official NCAA partner of Human Achievement) is choosing fan sites of teams with a chance to make it to the Final For and offering them two tickets to the Final Four if their team of choice makes it.

Presented Without Much Comment

This is just the kind of data people like me find interesting. It doesn’t really mean anything, but still…
Among the BCS conferences:
Conference: Teams remaining in NCAA tournament/teams originally in tournament (percentage); Total wins – wins/team
ACC:  3/4  - 75%; 7 total wins – 1.75 wins/team
SEC: 2/5 – 40%;  4 total wins – 0.8 wins/team
Big Ten: 2/7 – 28.6%; 7 total wins – 1 win/team
Pac 10: 1/4 – 25%; 4 total wins – 1 win/team
Big XII: 1/5 – 20%; 4 total wins – 0.8 wins/team
Big East: 2/11 –  18.2%; 9 total wins – 0.65 wins/team
So at least the ACC has basketball going for it.

The Sky is Blue; Water is Wet

Ohio State beat Michigan at sports. Again.
With today’s 68-61 victory over the bad guys, the Buckeyes moved to 35-5 against the Wolverines in the top three sports (Football, Men’s Basketball and Women’s Basketball) under current coaches. Even if you’re one of those people who want Michigan to be good for the sake of the rivalry, you’ve got to admit that’s pretty awesome.

This Day in History

Saturday, March 12th, 2011

One year ago today, arch-rivals Ohio State and Michigan met in the second round of the Big Ten Tournament.  With 2.2 seconds left to play, the Wolverines’ Manny Harris hit a jumper to take a 68-66 lead, securing the upset for 8-seeded Michigan over the Big Ten’s top team.

North By Northwestern
It was so suspenseful, I’m pretty sure I saw Alfred Hitchcock stroll nonchalantly past the Buckeyes bench at one point.  Ohio State’s second game against the Wildcats looked frighteningly like its first.  First things first, hats off to Northwestern for controlling the tempo so masterfully.

In the inaugural contest of the 2011 Big Ten Tournament, the Wildcats pulled away and secured a 75-65 victory, despite the Gophers keeping pace for the majority of the game.  Northwestern’s Michael Thompson set a new Big Ten Tournament record with 35 points hitting 11-26 from the floor and all eight of his free throws.

Another week of Buckeye Basketball and another week I’m racing to get it out before the next game and the next “week” starts. I don’t want to fall behind again.
This week was kind of a downer, what with the Buckeyes losing to Wisconsin Saturday afternoon.

We missed last week’s wrap-up, so were covering two week’s worth of exciting Ohio State basketball. 24-0 baby!
First, let’s take a break to consider how cool college athletes can be. Jared Sullinger is one of the most recognizable college basketball players and is currently living quite the charmed freshman life.
