Ohio State women and the toughest road ahead in the Big Ten

Ohio State women’s basketball landed in second place in the Big Ten standings after it swept both games of a West Coast trip, and the Michigan Wolverines fell to the UCLA Bruins this weekend. Head coach Kevin McGuff’s side is on a five-game winning streak, and the return of redshirt freshman forward Kylee Kitts from […]

Is Ohio State-Michigan the best rivalry in sports?

This past weekend, I had the privilege of attending two rivalry college basketball games. Saturday night, I went to the Kentucky-Tennessee game at Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky. That rivalry is heated, and it showed with the physicality on the court and the passion in the stands. Then on Sunday, I went to the Ohio […]

Ohio State’s men’s hockey is coming off a series sweep of Minnesota

Ohio State’s men’s hockey team will look to capitalize on some momentum from last weekend’s sweep of Minnesota when they host the Wisconsin Badgers on Friday and Saturday. With their two wins over the Golden Gophers, the Buckeyes now sit sixth in the Big Ten standings with 19 points, one behind Minnesota, and eight behind […]

Julian Sayin’s preseason All-American case, and the biggest obstacle in his way

After putting together my preseason All-American projection for Ohio State, the most interesting debate point wasn’t Jeremiah Smith (he’s the easiest lock on the roster). It was Julian Sayin, because quarterback is the one position where “elite” still doesn’t guarantee first-team preseason status. Sayin already owns the exact resume voters lean on in August. He […]

Joy Dunne shines for Team USA in Olympic Women’s Ice Hockey 

In her Olympics debut, Ohio State women’s ice hockey player Joy Dunne is already making her mark for Team USA, scoring twice through the team’s first three games.  Dunne, a junior forward for the Buckeyes, scored Team USA’s second goal of the Olympic competition in Thursday’s preliminary game against Czechia. The game marked Dunne’s first […]

Four-star 2027 corner lists Ohio State among top schools

Things are about to start heating up for the Ohio State football team… and not just the weather. While it may not look or feel like it now, spring is quickly approaching Columbus, Ohio, and that means Ryan Day and Ohio State’s coaching staff are about to get a lot busier. In addition to spring […]

Three lessons from No. 9 Ohio State women’s victory in Oregon

Only two teams have won both games of their West Coast trip this season in the Big Ten, so far this season; first it was the Michigan State Spartans, and now the Ohio State women have done it as well. The Buckeyes accomplished the feat without a dominant scoring night from point guard Jaloni Cambridge, […]

Way-too-early projections for Julian Sayin’s 2026 season

In his first season as a collegiate starter, one could hardly ask for more from Julian Sayin. Ohio State’s first-year-starting quarterback completed an incredible 77% of his 391 attempts for 3,610 yards and 32 touchdowns with just eight interceptions, leading his team into the Big Ten championship game undefeated and ranked No. 1 in the […]

Predicting Ohio State’s 2026 preseason All-Americans

Preseason All-American teams are always part projection, part reputation, and part, “who already proved it on a national stage.” Ohio State has plenty of candidates for 2026, but the list really starts with two names who have already lived in the sport’s biggest conversations. First team lock: Jeremiah Smith If you’re building a preseason first […]

No. 9 Ohio State ends road trip against Oregon

Monday starts a week off of games for No. 9 Ohio State women’s basketball, but before any respite, the Buckeyes face the Oregon Ducks, in Eugene, Oregon.  The Buckeyes won the first of the two West Coast games when they defeated the Washington Huskies on Thursday night, in Seattle, Washington. The Huskies led for less […]

Ohio State women’s Kevin McGuff and 500 college victories

After seven years as an assistant coach between Ohio’s Miami University and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, No. 9 Ohio State women’s basketball head coach Kevin McGuff earned his first head coaching role with the Xavier Musketeers. The Hamilton, Ohio native, a suburb north of Cincinnati, was nearly in his hometown with the coaching role […]

What if there was only one: the transfer portal or NIL?

The landscape of college athletics is completely different from what it was 10 years ago — and personally, I’m not a fan. When the games are played, it’s awesome. There is so much parity in college football, basketball, and baseball. However, when the games aren’t being played, covering college athletics is like covering a soap […]

The 10 key moments in Ohio State’s 82-62 win over Maryland

Ahead of Super Bowl Sunday’s afternoon showdown against No. 2 Michigan, the Ohio State men’s basketball team traveled to the Xfinity Center in College Park to take on the Maryland Terrapins and secured a 82-62 win. The Xfinity Center has been a house of horrors for the Buckeyes before this contest, as they entered the […]

No. 9 Ohio State women pick up road win over No. 24 Washington, 70-60

Last season, No. 9 Ohio State women’s basketball neutralized No. 24 Washington Husky guards Elle Ladine and Sayvia Sellers in Columbus when the pair scored nine combined points.
