Second-to-last in the Big Ten, Ohio State became the lowest seed to make the league semifinals, defeating Wisconsin, Iowa and Michigan State along the way. The Buckeyes even had an eight-point lead over top-seeded and eventual Big Ten champion Purdue in the first half of last Saturday's semifinal matchup. Ultimately, Zach Edey and the Boilermakers proved too much for Ohio State to overcome, but that outing hardly put a damper on the Buckeyes' magical ride in the United Center. Lettermen Row is breaking down Ohio State's time in Chicago, by the numbers.
