Save for the quality of the professional football product each city puts on the field, there’s no confusing Cleveland for Cincinnati.
Nevertheless, there will be a homecoming feel for West Virginia freshman point guard Miles McBride when the No. 22 Mountaineers face No. 2 Ohio State at Cleveland’s Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse (nee: Quicken Loans Arena) on Sunday afternoon.
The Buckeyes have been an oversized presence in McBride’s life from birth. His mother Kim was a tennis player at Ohio State, so he has seen plenty of scarlet-and-gray in his day. The bulk of his high school classmates at Archbishop Moeller are Buckeyes now, as well.
