Thank you Big Ten Network! The "Big Ten's Greatest Games" series often features mindless drivel but yesterday I caught a gem. It was Ohio State vs. Xavier from the 2007 NCAA tournament. If you don't remember that one or don't remember where you were when Ron Lewis buried the three at the buzzer...punch yourself in the junk.
Me? I was sitting in a Houlihans restaurant in Jersey City, New Jersey. Does it get any better than that?
Unfortunately I couldn't any clips of the game with the actual TV call. That featured Gus Johnson, who is the king of March Madness as far as I'm concerned. Too bad. Gus Johnson could make a basement game of ping pong seem like game seven of the World Series. I thought his head might explode after Lewis hit the shot.
The bizarre thing was I knew how the game ended and was still nervous watching the last nine minutes. That team should have won it all. Fucking Gators...
Anyway, here are two looks at the last shot, both amateur video shot from the stands. The second one is great because you can hear a Xavier fan yelling "FOUL HIM", which is exactly what Xavier should have done.
