It was the matchup everyone was expecting in Columbus, but for a while in both games it looked like it was going to be the exact opposite.
We talked about how Carolina let a double-digit lead get away from them against St. John’s and needed a fourth quarter rally plus some Deja Kelly heroics to win their game, but Ohio State trailed for the entirety of the first half of their game Sunday, most of it by double-digits themselves. They would begin a rally late in the second quarter, then continue it in the third to take the lead over a very game James Madison squad.
