A day spent canvasing basketball fans around Ohio Wednesday turned up some interesting opinions about tomorrow's state tournament - the matchups, as well as the stage on which its presented.
It was nothing like what most imagined. A tough-minded and talented Cornell team from the Ivy League pushed Ohio State to the limit before bowing at the end, 88-83.
The latest from those focused on state high school basketball…the push by Ohio State to fulfill Bill Mosiello’s promise to restore Buckeye baseball to national recognition…fan mail from Huntington, West Virginia…and curiosity over which basketball program, UD or OSU, is the most popular?
