The Cleveland Cavaliers were 21-20 on Jan. 19, 2015, a pedestrian mark for a team that had acquired the league's best player during the previous summer.
There are no "must-win" games in the NBA in January, but with the he divisional rival Chicago Bulls were in town, the Cavs were desperate to keep their heads above .500.
Enter Urban Meyer, who delivered a pregame speech to the floundering Cavaliers. The Cavaliers won that game, as well as their next 10 games, before cruising to the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference.
It's now June, but the Cavaliers are once again on the ropes, and it looks like they've summoned some heavy artillery up I-71. With the Cavaliers facing elimination tonight on their home court, Ohio State's Swaggernaut-in-Chief is already in the Q.
