As the 2019 Final Four gears up for tipoff and a national champion to be crowned on Monday, we’ve now hit the 20-year mark of the Final Four that, supposedly, didn’t happen for the Ohio State Buckeyes. You won’t see a banner hanging from the rafters at the Value City Arena, nor will you see one hanging up in the practice gym. You may see it in some record books, but alway accompanied by an asterisk.
You can attempt to erase the the Buckeyes’ wins en route to a Final Four run in Tampa Bay, but the memories will always be there.
