Ohio State's win over No. 1 Michigan State on Sunday in Columbus had many Buckeye fans reminiscing.
The 80-64 win was the first time an unranked Buckeye team had defeated the No. 1 team in the country since Thad Matta did it his first year at Ohio State, when the Scarlet and Gray topped Illinois in the final game of the 2004-05 regular season.
After falling to the Buckeyes, Spartan head coach Tom Izzo – who had his fair share of battles against Matta – said that while Chris Holtmann deserves credit for his role in turning the Ohio State program in a positive direction, Matta didn't exactly leave the cupboard bare in Columbus.
