Monday night was like a dream.
A sea of scarlet flooding the doorways to St. John Arena. Fans standing in front of every seat screaming and chanting for their Ohio State Buckeyes.
The same team might have been on the court Monday night, but don't confuse the St. John fans with the nose-upward, keeping-up-appearances crowd that usually fills the stiff Schottenstein Center.
To do so would be an injustice to anyone who made the trek to OSU basketball's old home.
Monday's 73-56 win against California in the second round of the National Invitational Tournament was a once-in-a-lifetime experience in the corporate age in which OSU athletics currently exists.
"It was really great to hear the fans be so loud," senior point guard Jamar Butler said. "The atmosphere really got us going. Every college athlete wants to play in this kind of environment..."
Again, just a terrific game day atmosphere!!!
