And so it began.
The days of lawsuits, Serbian paychecks and sub-.500 seasons have disappeared like so many banners from the rafters of the Schottenstein Center.
As the 2006 version of Ohio State basketball made its entrance into the arena Wednesday night to tangle with the Division II Findlay Oilers, the problems of the past seemed a distant memory as the Thad Five took layup drills for the first time in uniform. Unfortunately for OSU coach Thad Matta, even an 80-57 exhibition victory can leave a college basktball coach looking for answers...
I haven't looked forward to a basketball season this much since JJ arrived. I can't wait till Oden is healthy and available. I just hope that he's ready by December 16, because I have tickets for that game. Oh, in case you don't know that's the Ohio State/UC game in Indy. I think that they have the capability to live up to their preseason ranking, but they're going to have to take a lesson from the football team and take it one game at a time and always critiquing themselves and looking to get better. If they can do that, they will!
