OSU Basketball Celebration

Tonight at the Schott the OSU Basketball team celebrated their Big Ten Title, Big Ten Tournament Title, South Regional Championship, and berth in the National Championship game. The team came out, the mayor made a presentation, Matta spoke, then each of the players were interviewed two at a time. Finally, Matta closed the program with a few words about the team, and hinted at next year being a good year to be a Buckeye. I was happy that a lot of the program and public applause was centered around Ron Lewis and Ivan Harris, the two seniors on the team.

As far as major announcements, Freshman walk-on Mark Titus declared that after speaking with his family and doing a lot of soul searching, he will be back for his Sophomore year with the team. At least we know we have one of the Freshmen in the fold for next year! (He was joking, the guy shot 50% from the field this season, but averaged only 0.4 points). Of course the joke was that none of the 3 freshman considering the draft tipped their hand one way or the other. The only thing I can say was that the team was pretty close to each other, and everyone was interacting pretty well with each other. It didn't look like the Conley, Oden, nor Cook were dodging the public or their teammates.

Anyways, here are the pictures of the fun evening. (Click the picture below to go to the album).

GO BUCKS!
