2012 Men's Basketball
Championship
Ohio State had never beaten UCSB and had never won a national title. But that's all changed now following Saturday night's five-set win by the Buckeyes to capture the 2011 championship.
Ohio State broke a seven game losing streak against UCSB to earn the 2011 Men's Volleyball crown. The Buckeyes defeated the Gauchos 3-2 to secure the national title on Saturday.
Ohio State is 0-7 against UCSB. The Gauchos are 0-4 in national championshp matches. Something has to give Saturday night when the two meet at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN2 for the national title.
UCSB's first appearance in the NCAA semifinals since 1988 was a stunner Thursday night. The Gauchos toppled top-seed Southern California to advance to the national championship.
