Last Northwestern victory in Columbus

[purplebirder]

My Google search indicates that the last time the Northwestern basketball beat tOSU in Columbus was February 24, 1977 when Tex Winter was coaching the Cats. Is this correct ?

I predict that NU will win next Sunday breaking a 40 year "drought" .I wish we did not have to wait 6 more days for the game .

I agree with you. Cats win a close one.

Correct.

There have been some near misses over the past 5-10 years at the Schott. I believe four of the last six meetings have been 1-2 possession games well into the 2nd half before the 'Cats succumbed late.

Time to change that.

Didn't we have a game - and my memory could be failing me here - where we literally had a chance to win on the last possession, and Tavaras Hardy's short shot in the lane spun out with only a few seconds left? Does anyone remember something like that, or is my imagination taking me for a ride?

Those were dark days for the Buckeyes -- they finished 8-18 in Eldon Miller's first season as coach, after going 6-20 under Fred Taylor the year before.

I remember getting jobbed out of a game there in the early 80's because of a BS 5 second call.

I think you are thinking of Carmody's 2nd season (2001-02) when the 'Cats were actually in the NCAA bubble mix prior to an unfortunate late season collapse.

I believe you are correct about the Hardy attempt. The 'Cats lost 58-57. That shot certainly would have clinched an NIT birth, but it hasn't been the only time a last second miss in Columbus stung. Mirkovic ended up w a tying three point attempt in the closing seconds of the 2008-09 game. Had NU won that one, they would have received a much more favorable BTT match up and would been right on the bubble at 9-9. I believe Vedran also missed a last second jumper a few years prior, albeit with less at stake.

Don't forgot all the heartbreakers in Evanston and the Big Ten Tournament either...

Mircovic was very good! Now we have four to five guys as good as him! Cats by 15!
