Buckeye Basketball
Over the past couple of months, the blog posts I wrote have centered around class, class activities, and life in the SMF program from an academic point of view. As a result, for those who've been reading or following my posts, it may seem as if I don't do anything much outside homework, projects, assignments and attend class- which is somewhat true but not entirely.
One of my hobbies is basketball, both playing and watching it. And if you are wondering, my favorite players are Lebron James (hopefully I don't lose any readers) and Giannis Antetokounmpo.
What I love about basketball is the intensity of the gram. For 40-48 minutes, pretty much every ounce of muscle in the human body is tested. And on top of that, players need the mental resilience to ignore the body's plea to give up before the game is over.
About a month, ago I got the opportunity to see our men's basketball team
in action vs. Rutgers. Certainly, the intensity which I love to see in a basketball game did not lack as both teams were hungry to get that W. Despite Rutgers' sincere attempt to overthrow the Buckeyes in the second half, our boys proved equal to the challenge and managed to maintain the lead and win the game.
Overall, I had a wonderful experience at the Schottenstein Center, especially because this was my first men's basketball game. I totally recommend this as a leisure activity, but before you leave the arena, be sure to get some love from our mascot, Brutus the Buckeye.
