DJ Cooper has become the first college basketball player to ever accumulate 2000+ points, 900+ assists, 500+ rebounds, and 300+ steals in a career.

He did it tonight against the Buffalo Bulls.

I just wanted get his name out there to be recognized for what he has done in his four years as an Ohio Bobcat. He was a big part in the upsets to Georgetown, Michigan, and South Florida in the NCAA tournament, and has been a very fun and enjoyable player to follow in his career. Recently Jay Bilas called him the best passer in the game.

I hope DJ gets one more chance in the big dance because he is truly incredible and deserves high praise.

That's pretty cool, but those numbers seem pretty arbitrary.

Good NBA potential? Or is he just a hard worker with good fundamentals?

He is a bit undersized at 6'0 and has a leaner frame, which makes his NBA chances an uphill battle. Most pundits predict him to have a career overseas, but I think he will at least get a tryout with an NBA team. He's going to really have to impress some higher ups if he wants to get into the association though.

Do Buckeye fans do their O-H I-O chant to salute the mighty Bobcats?

Yep. They're still mad about getting sued for naming rights.

Ohio State doesn't even concern itself with Ohio.

Any potrayal of the relationship is a complete fallacy.

I actually rooted for Ohio in the tournament last year as I'm sure most Ohio State fans did.

I was riding that DJ Cooper Pain Train hard. And hopefully will be again this year.

Sounds like an LSU/ULL sort of relationship.

Good for them!

Yeah, I tend to pull for Ohio U in anything they've got going on, outside of playing us of course. Same with BGSU/KentSt/Miami/Cinci(yes, I did just group Cinci in with the rest )

Seems like these schools have a good amount of fans with the whole 'little man syndrome' though when it comes to cheering on tOSU.

The numbers are attainable if you are just trying to do two of the four, but obviously all 4 are not arbitrary.
