His prediction and a $1.79 will get you coffee at McDonalds tomorrow. You have to play the game

$1.79? I'm not a coffee guy but I'm pretty sure it's only a buck in their app.

Jason Preston is a solid player. He will need to hit the weight room hard to build strength if he wants to succeed in the NBA. Adding about 100 pounds to his bench press could turn him into a trey young type player.

He’s not the only one. Mark Titus and Tate Frazier at Fox Sports have us in the sweet 16 as well. Tons of people on Twitter calling for us to reach the sweet 16 too.

Joe Lunardi at ESPN has us winning against Virginia as well.

Everywhere I look, Jason Preston is getting love and OHIO is getting picked to beat Virginia.

I am not a believer in jinxes, but I do believe in the narrative. And right now the narrative is that OHIO is going to beat Virginia.

I must admit that having all these big name talking heads predicting a win for us has me a tad bit worried. This "getting respect" business is new ground for OHIO and her fans.

Agreed. The last time we were the "sexy" pick was 1994.

We were a more than trendy upset pick in 2012 as well, including by bilas if i recall correctly.

Here's an ESPN story that lists the top 50 players in the tournament. Jason Preston is not included. Jay Huff #27 and Sam Hauser #38 are there. I do believe that Preston is meant to be included because at #37 is Blake Preston for Liberty. He seems like a fine player but a guy that averages fewer than 9 points and 17 minutes a game probably doesn't belong on this list.
