TCU basketball opens March Madness with last-second win over Ohio State

The NCAA Tournament committee knew exactly what they were doing when they put TCU vs. Ohio State at the beginning of March Madness. This game proved to be all kinds of awesome.

TCU stormed out to a big 15-point advantage in the first half and led by as many at the break. In the second half, Ohio State stormed back and made this a fantastic game. The Buckeyes even took a five-point lead at one point late in the game. However, TCU would prevail and win.

With roughly 30 seconds remaining, Bruce Thornton nailed a game-tying three-pointer with the defender in his grill. On TCU’s following possession, Xavier Edmunds hit the game-winner with a floater in the paint with 4.3 seconds remaining.
