Big 10 Champs!

Yesterday The Ohio State Buckeye Men's Basketball team clinched the title of Big 10 CHAMPS by beating Purdue 76-57! Luckily I was able to attend the game! The seats were completely full, and the fans were going crazy the whole game! Again, we had amazing seats on the floor in the student section. When we got to our seats there were towels draped over the back that said "Nationwide Insurance." At the beginning of the game Purdue was in the lead, but only for a short time. The Buckeyes had the crowd behind them encouraging them to gain the lead. Not long after we lead the game and kept the lead throughout the whole game! Which made it less stressful for the fans!

At the end of the game, with the outcome long decided, the Ohio State student section chanted, "Big Ten champs!" and "Thank you, seniors." It was so amazing to see the crowd on their feet cheering for the players and they receive their trophy!

Terence Dials, who scored 20 points yesterday said, "No one gave us a chance, people across the country forgot about the Buckeyes it seemed. We didn't get the credit we thought we deserved. We wanted to go out and prove a lot of naysayers wrong." And, they did a fabulous job! I can't wait for the tournament to get under way! GO BUCKS!
