Middle linebacker Cody Simon waited for his chance to start, and for his patience he's the leader Ohio State's defense needed this season. Jeff Gilbert reports from the Cotton Bowl.....
A determined defensive effort in the second half by Marion Local salvaged a poor first half, offensively. Avae Unrast's three-pointer (above) gave them the lead in the third quarter, and kept their win streak alive with a 35-23 win over Parkway.
From Dallas...There’s a single-mindedness to Ryan Day’s team that continues to give them an edge. The players talk about it over and over again, each in their own way. Jeff Gilbert reports from the site of the Cotton Bowl.....
Not a thing of beauty, and a game that featured missed opportunities and lost possessions. But Butler did just enough at the end to remain unbeaten with a 42-36 win over Tipp.
Ohio State had a great night at the free-throw line at Minnesota and needed every one of them as Bruce Thornton (above) and the Buckeyes pull out a one-point double-overtime victory.
