The Fastbreak: 3 thoughts from Ohio State’s first round NCAA Tournament game

Two weeks ago, the Ohio State Buckeyes were a team very much on the bubble, and were trending in the wrong direction. But, they found their way to the NCAA Tournament. Now, they’ll be staying in Tulsa, Okla., for a couple more nights, as they toppled the No. 6 Iowa State Cyclones in the first round on Friday night.
