Thad bests Holtmann in battle of former Ohio State basketball coaches
Sure, other fanbases might have viewed Saturday's game as a contest between DePaul and Butler, but to Ohio State hoops fans, it was a battle between two former Ohio State coaches: Thad Matta and Chris Holtmann.
In the end, Matta's squad outlasted Holtmann's, with Butler winning 84-72. DePaul had a lead with less than six minutes remaining in the contest, so the matchup was competitive for most of the night.
