Dorothy has to click her heels three times and chant her “There’s no place like home” mantra in order to activate the magic of home. For Chris Holtmann’s Ohio State Buckeye basketball team, apparently all they have to do is walk onto their home court, and the magic happens. 10-0 at home. There really is no place like home – even if your home is the mouthful “Value City Arena at the Schottenstein Center.”
That extraordinary success makes those four cancellations/postponements all the more important because they were all home games: Tennessee Martin (12/21), University of New Orleans (12/28), Nebraska (1/22), and Iowa (2/3).
