    Ohio State Pounds James Madison, 72-44

    The first real test for OSU comes a week from tonight in New York, when they face no. 6 North Carolina in the tournament’s semifinals. While the Tar Heels may match JMU’s turnovers for the night (16), they won’t shoot as poorly as the Dukes did (30 percent). It’s also highly unlikely that Ohio State will be able to hold the UNC lineup to bunch of single-digit scorers.
