Let me get this out of the way right now: I had Ohio State going to the Final Four.
Might as well let the world know my homerdom got in the way of my good judgment. The Buckeyes, though five up on Georgetown in the seeding Sunday, were thoroughly outclassed and overmatched by a taller and far more athletic Hoya team.
I hadn't had a chance to pick Ohio State in an NCAA Tournament for so long, I was like a kid that gorges himself on Halloween candy and pukes his guts out an hour later.
Oh well. Mop and bucket time.
