A year ago, I watched Ohio State lose to Rutgers in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament. Tonight, I watched Ohio State lose in the second round of the NCAA tournament. Keita Bates-Diop controlled the game with 28 points. Senior guard, Kam Williams added another 19. The Buckeyes just ran out of scorers. Jae’Sean Tate added 6 boards but fouled out late. Gonzaga shot 52% from 2 and 40% from three. The Zags 15-0 spark set the tone early in the game. The Bulldogs controlled assists, rebounds, blocks and had fewer turnovers.

I’m weirdly satisfied with this season. Yea we didn’t play well at the end of the year, but to go from last year, to this year; I couldn’t be happier for this team. The program is getting back to where it should be and expectations will be high, next season.

Mark Few and his Zags will go to Los Angeles for the Sweet Sixteen. They’ll face number 9 seed, Florida State.
