He didn't touch the ball. But definitely made it difficult for him to make that shot. Still almost went in

What a dogfight! OSU refused to quit & BU stepped up HUGE in the last 10 minutes of the game!

11:49 left in the game down by 8 I made the decision to mute the telecast and put the Rocky IV Training Montage on full blast. Our Bears started the slow climb to get back in the game.......coincidence??

DRAGO!! DRAGOOOOO!!!!!
