Left open in the corner, Sam Thompson found an uncontested path to the basket along the baseline and contorted his body around 6-foot-9 center Sasa Borovnjak for a layup and three-point play. With Big Ten-leading scorer Deshaun Thomas having an off day, the lithe 6–7 Thompson stepped up Saturday for No. 14 Ohio State. He […]

January 28, 2013 by
The end result is a 3-2 loss for the Blue Jackets Saturday night, but the underlying story was far more complex and disappointing.
