Buckeyes keep winning

This has been a good week to be a Buckeye.

The lady Bucks started the week as the #1 seed in the Big Ten tournament having won the outright regular season Big Ten Championship. In the tournament they defeated Penn St, Michigan St and Purdue to win their first tournament Championship.

Purdue's Erin Lawless is harassed on the way to a tough 60-63 loss to Ohio St.

The lady Buckeyes are now double Big Ten champs, ranked #2 in the nation, sitting on a 28-2 record, own a 19 game win streak and looking at a good chance for a #1 seed in the NCAA tourney. Way to go girls and keep up the good play!

On the men’s side of the court they started the week with two more regular season games to play, needing to win both for an outright Big Ten season title. In the first game they traveled to Northwestern where they needed a lay-up, with 10.7 seconds left on the clock to win. The last game, against a struggling Purdue was a cake walk. The men are now 23-4, ranked #7 in the nation and have the #1 seed for the Big Ten tournament starting this Thursday.

Senior Terrance Dails takes his turn cutting the nets after the men's team won the outright Big10 Championship.

2006 has been a good year for the 3 major sports at OSU. With the men’s victory over Purdue Ohio St has claimed the outright Championships in both Men’s and Women’s basketball and football. This is the first time in the history of the Big Ten that any one school has pulled the hat trick.

Hopefully this week turns out as good as last.
