"I know I've been in this league for six years, and I've never seen anything like that."

That was Thad Matta after yesterday's game describing Evan Turner's performance this weekend and his second half scorching of the Gophers.

We're switching gears for a bit and as long as these Buckeyes are on fire, you'll continue to hear basketball instead of football here. Hopefully we've got three more weeks of that in the Big Dance.

I figure it's them against the basketball world and they need all the help they can get. Me, you, all of us! I mean one minute we are being talked about as a number one seed and the next we are dumped into the toughest bracket with the number one tournament seed between us and the Final Four. We're climbing the fire escape, while Darling Duke and even some three and four seeds are placed on easier escalators to Indy.

That's okay. Us against the world. I think these guys relish that role. Go Bucks! Here's to a long ride!
