The Ohio State basketball team made the NCAA Tournament for the first time in four seasons. Captain Bruce Thornton had never played in March Madness in his illustrious career. He is the all-time leading scorer for the Ohio State Buckeyes, so it hasn't been his fault.
Thornton is one of the best players in the Big Ten Conference and is the key to the Buckeyes winning games. He understands how long it took them to get there. This is his final season of college basketball, so he wants to live it up as much as he can, even if they only last one round.
