The Fastbreak: 4 thoughts from Ohio State’s battle with Houston in the Second Round of the NCAA Tournament

If there’s a cruel part to the NCAA Tournament, it’s this: for the seniors and guys leaving early, a loss in the Big Dance signifies an end to their college careers. C.J. Jackson, Keyshawn Woods and Joey Lane played their last game as Buckeyes on Sunday night, and the emotion seen after the game showed the reality that, yes, this is the last time they’ll be able to play in a college game wearing scarlet and gray.
