Ohio State to hang Evan Turner's No. 21 in the rafters at Michigan game

It's only fitting to honor the guy who sunk the Wolverines on a half court miracle while OSU plays them.

At the intermission when Ohio State takes on Michigan Tuesday, Feb. 16, the Buckeyes will recognize one of their best players in their modern basketball history.

Joining only John Havlicek, Jerry Lucas, Jim Jackson, and Gary Bradds, former Naismith National Player of the Year Award winner Evan Turner will have his No. 21 raised to the rafters of Value City Arena. Though the Buckeyes will immortalize Turner's incredible stay in Columbus with the banner, an Ohio State spokesperson confirmed to Land-Grant Holy Land his number 21 will still be able to be worn by future Buckeyes.
