Ohio initially appeared to be the place that represented itself the strongest in the 2012 NCAA Tournament, after the Buckeye State became the very first state to ever produce four Sweet Sixteen teams (Ohio State, Cincinnati, Xavier & Ohio U). While three of these four schools went down in defeat over the weekend, the lion’s share of college hoops fans in the state are still on top of the world, as Thad Matta’s Ohio State team will be heading to New Orleans, after defeating Syracuse during Saturday’s East Regional Final in Boston.
The state of Ohio has a lot to brag about at the present time, but nothing even close to what the folks across the border in Kentucky are currently experiencing.
