Terence Dials watched Ohio State fire the coach who . brought him to campus. ban the team from postseaso n play and face a withering NCAA investigation . What happened . ·Sunday afternoon made it al l worthwhile. Diais scored 20 points aml the ninth-ranked Buckeyes broke open ·the game with a 14-2 blitz to start the second half to beat Purdue 76-57, clinching . their first outri ght Big Ten title in 14 years. "Thi s is a joyous moment ," the' senior co-captain said . "Espec ially becau se of all the things the program has been through." O]Jio State fired ·coach Jim o·Brien in June of 2004 fo r what the NCAA determined were rules violations. Despite · winning 20 games a year ago, coach Thad Matta's first Buckeyes team was not per. mitted to play in the postseaso n because the school.'s administration wanted to mitigate possible sanctions. The NCAA may announce fi nal penalties this week. Going into thi s season , · almost no one thou ght the Buckeyes would be much of a factor in the Big Ten race. . "No one gave us a chance," Dials said. "People across the co un try forgot about ·the Buckeyes it seemed. We didn ' t get the credit. we thought we deserved, We wanted to go out and prove a lot of naysav. ers wrong." JJ. Sullinger had 16 points fo r the Buckeyes (23-4, 12-4), who have won their last five ga mes and are the top seed for thi s week's Bi g Ten tournament in Indianapolis. Jamar Butler added 15 points. . , " We've kind of flown under the rada r to thi s point," Su llinger said, referring to the· Buckeyes' late appearance in and slow rise in· the polls. ·'B ut you 've got to remember Ohio State now when you talk abou t (national) contenders." In the waning moments, with the outcome long decided, the Ohio State student section cha nt~ d , "B ig Ten champs!" and "Thank you, sen iors." "It's a great life lesson for these guys," second-year coac h Thad Matta said. "If Y\JU commit to something and stay the course. anything 's possible." . The Buckeyes have prospered with a lineup that includes three fifth-year players and another senior who always seemed to make plays when most needed . " It was a good day to be a Buckeye,'' Sullinger said. " It was an even better day to be a se . m'or·· . The Buckeyes were eighth, . ninth and sixth the last three years jn the conference. The .outright title is the school 's firs t since Jim Jackson was the star in 1992;• and only the second since I 971. It also marked the first time a Big Ten school has captur.ed outright · titles in men 's and women's basket ball in the same season. · Gary Ware scored 25 points for Purdue (9· 1!l. 3·13), which lost four in a row to finish las t in the Big Ten for the first time in 40 years.

As a teen and stand Team member, I know first-hand that celebrities and what they do and wear in movies influences kids. especially whe.n they light up a cigarette .on camera. Several studies have found that youth who watch movies with ·actbrs and actresses w)lo smoke are mqre likely tO smoke themselves. In fact, one recent study found that yuuth with the greatest exposure to smoking in movies were almost three times more likely to try smoki ng. . On Feb. 28, my stand Team and I celebrated International Day ofA'ction. one of the largest anti-tobacco holidays dedicated to raising awareness about the glamorization of tobacco. Young people model cele.brity behavior and the conseque!'lces can be de·adly.
