Hoping for great rematch
Tomorrow afternoon, in college basketball, No. 19 Ohio State hosts No. 10 Illinois. This could be a great one.
We all remember what happened when these two teams met up in Columbus last season. Then-No. 1 Illinois came into Value City Arena undefeated and left with its first loss of the season, thanks to a late bucket by Matt Sylvester.
I can only hope this year's game is just as good. Of course, I'm saying this from an OSU perspective. But, still, that was a great game.
Anything less than an evenly matched game, and a Buckeye win, will be a disappointment. This OSU squad is better and more experienced than last year's, and Illinois looks far less dominant.
