Can you feel the Madness?!?! The Big Dance is upon us, and the Buckeyes are dancing once again, despite a late-season slide that included a loss to a lower-seeded Penn State in the Big Ten Tournament.
Chris Holtmann's record in March isn't stellar, to put it mildly, but his team got a manageable first weekend in the South Region, with teams that have solid brand recognition but potentially favorable matchups for a Buckeye team that badly needs some mojo.
We'll talk about Sister Jean's Loyola Ramblers, why Holtmann's current team has struggled so much, and what the Buckeyes need to do to right the ship.
Plus, Ask Us Anything (which, as always, you can do by emailing us at dubcast@elevenwarriors.com) talks about waterboarding, war movies, and where ag kids partied when Andy was on campus.
RUN OF THE SHOW
0:00 Ohio State failed to win a game in the Big Ten Tournament. Boo. This is an injury-plagued roster, but that raises bigger questions about roster management.
07:48 March has not been kind to Chris Holtmann during his career. The stats are sobering.
16:10 Let's compare Holtmann's first five years to those of his predecessors. Trigger warning!
17:35 Ohio State draws Loyola for its first opponent in the NCAA Tournament. How do the Ramblers match up with the Buckeyes?
25:45 Juwan Howard is back, and Michigan made the tournament. Boo again!
30:12 Several Ohio State teams are kicking butt and taking names, including the women's hockey team, advancing to the Frozen Four. Nicely done, women!
33:30 Ask Us Anything: How long would we last if subjected to waterboarding; is Patton the greatest war movie ever; and, where did Andy part as an ag kid at Ohio State?
54:18 Quick Cals: Harry Miller is a brave man, and we have nothing but respect for his open discussion about mental health. We'll also discuss Joe Buck and the crazy business of sports media.
And that'll do it! Thanks as always to Travis for the cool, cool logo, thanks to you for listening and checking out the Dry Goods store, and we'll see you next week!
