COLUMBUS – The Joe Sports Fan Tour has been to Cincinnati Reds baseball and Ohio State football. The next logical stop was obviously basketball. So recently I loaded up my note book and camera and headed for Columbus to take in an Ohio State Buckeyes basketball game. And you get to come along.

I arrived early to take full advantage of my opportunity. In this case, I even got more than I counted on. The OSU women played before the men, so I got to see the second-half of that game as a bonus. And I got a further surprise, too.
