Wednesday's Buckeye Bits

Good morning, Buckeye fans!  It’s a big day for The Ohio State University on multiple fronts. 

The football team begins its first spring practice with Urban Meyer as head coach and the basketball team leaves later today on a flight to The Big Easy.

Meyer promotes competition.  Urban Meyer’s first spring practice will have plenty of competition, even if we are almost five months from the first game.  Meyer and his staff will not sit for any slacking in any practice or drill.  This article gives a little peek into what Buckeye fans can expect from Urban Meyer, and so far, so good.

Sullinger ready for Kansas.  It’s clear Jared Sullinger is a great competitor and a better teammate.  He put the blame on himself for the early season loss at Kansas, but is ready to redeem himself on Saturday evening. 

Sullinger was already ruled out by the time the Buckeyes arrived in Lawrence, but wanted to play after getting caught up in the pregame festivities.  He’ll get his shot this weekend, and he’ll be ready to fire.

Big men highlight Final Four.  Three first-team All-Americans lead the field into New Orleans.  Thomas Robinson of Kansas squares up against Jared Sullinger of Ohio State in one national semifinal, while Anthony Davis of Kentucky is the lone All-American in the other national semifinal.

Although not an All-American, Davis will go up against a talented big man, Gorgui Dieng, a sophomore for Senegal.

Enjoy today, Buckeye fans!  Urban Meyer is officially running his first spring practice and we’re just three days away from the Final Four!
