The Sweet Sixteen!

In a matchup of a #1 Seed versus a #5 seed Ohio State survived a 20 point first half deficit to pick off the Volunteers of the University of Tennessee, 84-84, and advance to the Elite 8. Senior Guard Ron Lewis scored 25 points and the Buckeyes survived a thoroughly mediocre performance by star freshman center Greg Oden (9pts - 4 fouls) to advance to the Elite 8 where they face the Tigers of the University of Memphis.

While I am glad that they won, they can't have another game where they spot the opponent a bunch of point, and Oden is unimpressive, and expect to win. They BETTER play better, and I think they will.

GO BUCKS!

Also, here is another update on the race for 66th best! The final four in that Tournament is set Mississippi State will play West Virginia, and Air Force will play Clemson. here is an updated 2007 NIT Championship Bracket:
