Team of Destiny

[BIGdreamer1012]

I will never forget this game as long as I'm alive. One of the greatest bball games I've ever watched. Othello Hunter and David Lighty's reactions when Ron hits the shot are priceless. Go Bucks

[bdubbs1094]

sean miller please come back to xavier

[keithcarey]

That was a great call from a great game. There was no way Xavier should have lost. So many memories from this tourney.

[shooter404]

when gus says "up and one" just gives me the chills

[zabes22]

@peopleplz clearly over the back, someone is either biased or has no idea what he is talking about, I'm going with both

[OSUbucks9]

@peopleplz And what about the no-call at 3:03? David Lighty was clearly fouled there on the put back attempt. How come you're not saying anything about that? Ohio State hater, maybe?

[OSUbucks9]

@peopleplz You seem like someone who loves to disagree with people just for the hell of disagreeing. It was clearly a foul on #33 for Xavier. Oden was in position for the rebound, and #33 went over the back for the rebound. You can also see that #33 uses his left arm to push off of Oden's back to get up for the rebound, which is what causes Oden to lose his balance. Open your eyes and it's pretty obvious there was a foul there.

[A7XDark]

@peopleplz No, Greg Oden had the inside edge on getting the rebound completely, and #33 could have been called for over the back or hooking arms, that's why Gus Johnson calls it a "good call" because he saw that.

[A7XDark]

@peopleplz You can't hook your arms with another player when the ball is free like that.  That's what #33 for Xavier did.

[estudmn]

Cage does a really nice acting job here. If you ever get to look at the reverse angle he goes out of his way to fall hard. I don't want to hear shit about a flagrant foul.

[kufanboy15]

lol team of destiny? they lost the championship game! jk they were a great team

[OSUjunki]

We had such a great team I miss all the plAyers well let's enjoy Evan turner while his still here

[iatecorn]

gotta love gus johnson

[nvrlose37]

@iatecorn

best cbs announcer by far

[iatecorn]

@nvrlose37

without a doubt. "from the parking lot" classic gus.

[dyngrauk]

Brings it hooooome!!!!!

[EliteStarstruck]

This brings back so many memories of a fantastic season. I miss Ron Lewis. I remember skipping a choir concert for a mandatory music class at my school to watch this game. Best decision I have ever made, even if I did flunk music class lol. Theres nothing like March Madness baby.

[drewbg3333]

That was my boy Justin Cage who got rapped down low by Oden. What a lucky ass team Ohio state is for not getting a flagrant Foul. That should of been two shots plus the ball back.

[kevb52]

Totally agree.  Anyone except Greg Oden would have been called for a flagrant on that.

[g0ni]

even watching the reply my heart stops at 3:10, i cannot believe they didn't call an intentional or flagrent or something on Oden, phew!

go bucks!

[algahead]

well there isnt flagrant fouls in college, and oden was technically going for the ball, besides the refs did good not to change the outcome of the game xavier had their chance at the line and they blew it

[bucksno14]

"Butler from the parking lot" haha love gus johnson

[bpimpin2]

I have seen this play a million times. Every time I see him hit that shot I jump up Like OMG Did that Just Happen.

Go Bucks

[moviefan10212]

dude all xavier had to do was either make that foul shot or foul ohio state so they would have to take two shots. Dont get me wrong xavier played a hell of a game but i think simple coaching cost them the game

[plogjayhawk7568]

This is a perfect example of what the NCAA tournament should be like. The Cinderella teams choke in the end to lose. If you don't have a legitimate chance at the title get out of the way for the big guys.

[A7XDark]

Well if Xavier hit their last free throw then they probably would have won.

[DaBears08]

LoL...big Schools get all the calls? I'm sorry but did you watch that game? IT was well called by the refs. Not to mention Xavier had OSU beat if they just fouled OSU on that last possession in regulation. OSU won this game fair and square, no cheating involved my friend.

[BuckGuy27]

something I've always wondered is how the Ohio State bench wasn't going crazier after Lewis hit that three. It seems Othello Hunter was the only guy with much emotion.

[DaBears08]

I hear ya, best bball game I've ever watched....with the Tenn game in close second. That was the sweetest three I've seen ever hit in my life....I'm also a huge OSU fan.

[machurek]

I love how Greg Oden jacked that bitch up after he was held and there was a no call on lighty....

The announcer was awesome!

[ianro20]

money shot!!

[xCannon24x]

ron lewis won me so much money that year lol

[Lville447]

Duncan held Oden and Lighty was fouled...what a terrible no call..

[cheerleader1242014]

I have been following OSU b-ball since 1976 and this was one of the greatest comebacks in OSU basketball history that I have seen.

[Smith4Heisman]

so many good games that year... including the game after this... against Tennessee...

[cjtizvideo]

starting five was like a dream tea,

[BuckeyeNation21]

GO BUCKS!!! One of the best games ever!

[ballin2110]

this video never gets old!!!!!

[ballin2110]

did ron lewis get drafted from the knicks

[osubuckeye1991]

no he is playing in belgium

[Smileyfacedkiller]

This was the greatest game I've ever seen, and a great video by the poster. I liked that he showed both team's possesions.

[bball11206]

Butler from the parking lot..... COUNT IT!!!!

[bball11206]

Man, this was probably one of the most emotional moments of my sports life. I absolutely loved this team. Conley, Lewis, Oden, Harris man, I miss those guys

[iamx9]

i was at that game and xavier fans were leaving early andit was the most insane thing when lewis hit the jumper.

[GuitarHero1241]

WOW i remember i was on the chair watching this and i was like shit their gonna lose then OHHHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOO Lewis scores a sick 3. i was jumping my girlfriend was like DAMN UR GONNA GIVE ME A HEART ATTACK!!!! lol

[xCavsFan23x]

Love this video man, "And he missed it, Conley with the ball, 5 to go, Lewis...has been awesome, LETS IT GO!!!! oohhhh, HE TIES IT AT 62. IN LEXINGTON, HAHA, CBS SPORTS, THIS...IS MARCH MADNESS!!"

Gus Johnson rocks!

[wallslls]

[kesslez]
