The Buckeyes are headed to Cincinnati to play Xavier in the B1G Ten/Big East challenge. Since I work for Xavier I'll be hosting donors in my Musketeer spirit wear. Inside I'll be rooting for Ohio State - it's a no win situation. Even if Ohio State wins I can't celebrate in front of our donors. And if Xavier wins my co-workers will be wearing me out the rest of the season.
The last time they played, Ohio State erased a 9 point deficit with under 3 minutes to play and won the game in OT - they made a 3 pointer at the buzzer to put the game in OT. That was during the 2007 NCAA tournament which the Buckeyes wound up playing Florida in the title game. It was a monumental collapse by Xavier fueled by what many thought was a flagrant foul by Greg Oden late in regulation. At that point it looked grim for Ohio State and had the refs called a flagrant foul it would have been. The Xavier faithful have waited 14 years for this game tonight - I wish they'd never play.
