Article on espn.com talks about mid majors who could be giant killers if they make it to the dance, OHIO is listed as one of those teams and a pic of Coop is used for the header.

for those without insider access here is the OHIO blurb-

Mid-American
Ohio (19.0) has one severe weakness as a potential Killer -- it ranks 242nd in the nation at shooting 3s -- but a series of strengths that make the Bobcats intriguing. They're second in the entire country in generating turnovers (26.9 percent of possessions) and they're relentless on the perimeter (holding opponents to just 29.1 percent on 3-point attempts, 11th lowest in the NCAA), yet they crash the boards (offensive rebounds on 34.8 percent of misses). That package would give most Giants considerably more trouble than Akron (14.0), which is seeded No. 1 in the conference. Plus,
D.J. Cooper would look great on the All-GK team. Ohio is No. 3 in the MAC, whose tournament is already underway.
