The Ohio State Buckeyes—owners of home losses to Texas-Arlington and Louisiana Tech and a 20-point loss to Connecticut just one week ago—pulled off one of the most shocking upsets of the 2015-16 college basketball season with Saturday's 74-67 win over No. 4 Kentucky.
Before we start harping on the Wildcats, we must give credit where it's due: Ohio State played a fantastic game.
Trevor Thompson made life miserable in the paint for Kentucky's big men, tallying five blocks on defense and displaying impressive post moves on offense. Jae'Sean Tate was on the deck seemingly every five seconds, fighting like crazy for loose balls and unofficially leading the Buckeyes in swagger.
