Pick the adjective—euphoric, elated, exhilarating or even a bit overwhelming. In fact, relieved was probably the best way to describe how Jared Sullinger and the Ohio State Buckeyes felt as the final seconds ticked away in their victory over Syracuse.

Sullinger, who decided to return to school and forgo a chance at a top-five spot in the NBA Draft and untold millions, got what he came back for. Ohio State was in the Final Four.

It was the second time in six years for Thad Matta and the Buckeyes. It was also the 11th time in school history—good enough for sixth all time.
