The beat rolls on for Diebler, Buckeyes...it was physical, nasty at times, and a challenge for one team to beat the other, and the three officials. But Jake Diebler moved his record to 8-2 Saturday with a second round 81-73 NIT win over Virginia Tech.
Hoping to show some of the thunder and lightning of their West Coach successes, the Buckeyes fell victim to a better baseball team Friday in the home opener, losing to Georgetown.
In January right fielder Mitchell Okuley vowed to have is best year in this, his final year as a Buckeye. One quarter of the way through the schedule, he's more than made good on that vow.
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.
