Ohio State's Matta channels Will Ferrell for message about composure
Mike Carter-USA TODAY Sports
Ohio State scored a much-needed win over No. 16 Wisconsin to keep its NCAA Tournament hopes on life support.
The chances of the Buckeyes making the field of 64 are slim to none at this point, but head coach Thad Matta is keeping his players focused with words of wisdom from the movie "Old School."
Thad Matta references Old School, says he told his team: “Like Will Ferrell, we can’t freak out, we’ve got to keep our composure."

Of course, the quote becomes much funnier if you picture Matta taking on the role of Ferrell during his locker room speeches to the Buckeyes.
Ohio State faces another big test with a road game at Penn State on Tuesday.
