Ohio State vs. Xavier 2007 NCAA Tournament

[claymanship]

For all the college basketball people watching...it was a hoot to watch the famous Xavier Popes in Lexington in 2007 for this game...they truly are the next "big thing" of college student sections, if there is such a thing. Seriously, they are hysterical...it's worth giving them a follow on Twitter: @TheXavierPopes

[osujxu]

i remember this moment so well

[RobloxianSliddet]

osu ftw

[Du30ke]

Its a shame Oden was never at !00% that year. Notice how good of shooters that team is. They went 3 for 20 from behind the arch in the national championship versus Florida and STILL only lost by 9. They were the best team in the tournament that year.

[Acoughlin101]

Wow. Lewis was overshadowed by the freshman class that year and even jamar butler. It shows his senior leadership by taking that game into his hands when all year long he was a secondary option. That was a fantastic game and an even better individual performance! Go Bucks!

[krunkKing]

Daequan Cook, Mike Conley, Gred Oden all got drafted. My boy Ron Lewis didnt. :(

[RJman101]

You have awesome videos. Thanks so much, but could you please change your music. I have to mute all your videos dude

[witster18]

when you blow a 9 piont lead with 2:30 left.... you don't talk about a single foul costing you the game... at least not without looking ridiculous

[TheKangstdagangster]

it was justin cage not raymond

[kaplezedrummer24]

xavier should have won that game. BJ Raymond got shoved by Greg Oden in the last few plays of regulation and there was no foul called

[BillyBong05]

The way the overtime went is the way that entire game should've gone.

[Smileyfacedkiller]

this was one of the best games I've ever seen.

[RhodyParfait14]

xavier relly pissed that one away

[2incher]

Please call the intentional/flagrant/excessive foul on Oden so that we could see how far this Xavier team deserved to go.

I've never attended a worse game in the history of my life.

I've never cried more in my life.

[monty5147]

@2incher call the foul on the Xavier guy fouling Lighty first.

[buckiguy09]

We got Thad and it's killin you.

[MarkFages]

What was even more disheartening was that I was in a bar over near Kenwood and the place was going nuts with OSU fans as they came back. We were in Cincinnati and these fuckers were cheering for OSU. Very sad. At least they choke in football.

[buckiguy09]

We run this state.

[MarkFages]

I'd like to see Thad's team go up against Chris Mack & Co. Crawford, Dante Jackson, Redford, Frease, Jamel M., Jason Love, Jeff Robinson, M. Lyons, & Terrell Holloway! Buckeyes just wouldn't be able to go that deep. If it were (*if*) X gonna give it to ya!!

[ShookShakeSham]

xavier doesnt even have a football team. GO UD BITCH

[Fagedaddy]

Dayton hasn't won against X in Cincinnati since 1982! Go Muskies BITCH!!!

[A7XDark]

I definetly miss this team =(

Starting five:

Ron Lewis - Senior who was amazing and a great team leader

Jamar Butler - Junior who was another great shooter and leader

Then Oden, Conley and Cook who were 3 amazing freshman that left early for the draft. The potential talent of this team was just amazing, probably the best in a long time.

[Du30ke]

exactly the reason why UNC and these other big named schools are good every year is because they have decent players that player for 3 to 4 years ohio state can never build up any veterans

[A7XDark]

Well Ohio State isn't a traditional basketball team, just like UNC isn't a tradtional football team.

[Du30ke]

just saying it could be very likely for them to become a powerhouse for a couple years then fade away...its still amazing how much basketball talent they manage to recruit

[Fagedaddy]

I agree. Great team. Just unfortunate circumstances for X. 2 great years after this season.

[AjayBaskauskas]

You forgot to include the part where greg oden threw Justin Cage into the stands.

[LuckyCharms228]

great video, terrible music

[alternapop]

video would be more exciting to watch with the original audio

[jokert4]

Don't you love Othello Hunter's enthusiasm?

[bonis317]

best college basketball game ever... from an OSU fan's perspective

[awgenerals]

that was a amazing comeback and defeat! go bucks!

[themintbandit]

top 5 worst days of my life

[RollinStones31]

Incredible NCAA basketball moment thanks to Ron.

Probably the best 5 players in this decade, maybe the 90's too.

[RollinStones31]

OK JAMAR.

[Kycowboy17]

i was at this game

[smallbo13]

u want a cookie

[Kycowboy17]

u want balls?

[smallbo13]

no thank you kind sir but i appreciate your offer good day to you

[avonqbpg2207]

ron lewis is playing in belguim for like the worst team in the league

but nba coaches are dumbshits for not picking him up he plays a lot like michael redd i think

[kyledcaldwell]

great song rock on gnr and go bucks

[themouse12002]

does anyone else think the xavier coach kinda looks like jimmy kimmel at first glance?

[Smith4Heisman]

Yeah haha.

[ballin2110]

oh thanks man, i thought he was lke a free agent or something

[ballin2110]

where is Ron Lewis now?

[bball11206]

He was playing ball in Belgium this past season....Hes probably home here in Columbus now

[ballin2110]

is he going to the NBA or is he going back in college

[bball11206]

He already graduated...hes trying to get to the NBA through Europe

[ballin2110]

so he is not going to the regular NBA?

[bball11206]

He would if he could, but no team selected him in the draft or signed him as a free agent. Those who do not get drafted or signed as a free agent go to play in either the NBA development league or play in leagues overseas, mainly in Europe. From there if they play very well, then an NBA team may consider putting him on their roster

[ballin2110]

thats what i touhght but i wasn't sure thanks

[grocerystoreking]

Ron Lewis was a beast... no question we had to best talent... we shoulda beat florida

[buckeyeman55]

go bucks Michigan sucks

[BucksFan19]

I love this song also.

[BucksFan19]

Ron Lewis=THE MAN

[bball11206]

No doubt Ron Lewis should be playing in the NBA. Hes over in Belgium playing ball, man I know someone over here could use him. He took over this game

[MattJones1418]

nope

[mmuccu]

Ron Lewis should be in the NBA

[toughmonk69]

xavier should have won

[kneal8]

Xavier DID win. NCAA officials simply gave the game to the big money school with the high profile player.

[socnicklin]

Your right. It was the refs who made Xavier miss that free throw. Moron.

[TotheXtreme21]

wat do you mean

[nickgators]

when he hit that shot it sound like poop in a toilet just dropping

[bucksownevery1]

ok if you were an ohio state fan why would you show the other team? that's like showing michigan highlights on an ohio state video...that doesn't make much sense

[JeffHCross]

It all depends on the reason for the video. If I was making a highlight video for the game, I'd show both teams. If I was making a highlight video *just for Buckeye fans*, it'd obviously be biased. But sometimes the game is good from both sides.

Plus, Xavier vs Ohio State isn't exactly the same as showing scUM highlights. ;)

[dwilliams02]

lol yeah could have guessed you were a buck fan. Just pointing out that it was an amazing game and only showing one side of it kind of ruins that.

[DericBrogan]

You have a point there OSU was LUCKY to win taht one it could have gone either way!!!!

[dwilliams02]

It's a shame, this was a fantastic game and the best of the tournament, but your highlight video is simply disappointing because you only show one side of it.

[DericBrogan]

Sorry bro but I am an OSU Fan ask a Xavier fan for their highlights

[abejb0007]

lool ... tell him !

[Fagedaddy]

1 year. 1 and done.

[dwilliams02]

Only OSU highlights? That's not bias at all.

[wowgay24]

loved that game... i FLIPPED OUT when ron lewis made that shot. i scared my cat, dog, parents, everything in my house. hahah. then conley finished up overtime. LOVED it

[bucksownevery1]

NICE yea i was getting pissed...i still don't think that matta is a great coach...the difference this year from last year is that he had better players....that's why we won but MATTA has gotta learn to get by the 2nd round!

GO BUCKS

KOSTA KOUFAS 2007 BABY!

[imfrommilo]

we did get past the 2nd round.. and he is the best recruiter in the game today

[Fagedaddy]

Besides Chris Mack.

[snakehunter35]

love it! I thaught they were done for with about 4 mins left to go down 10.. I love the music too, Guns N' Roses is awesome!
