It may be just spring practice, but it’s good to have Ohio State football back in any realm.

You’re Nuts: Which Buckeye do you hope impresses most during spring practices?

Where do bracketology experts have the Ohio State men before the Big Ten Tournament?
A little more than two weeks ago, it seemed optimistic at best and delusional at worst to imagine that, on the eve of the Big Ten Men’s Basketball Tournament, we would be talking about the Ohio State Buckeyes being a lock for the Big Dance. But here we are, following wins over then-No. 8 Purdue, […]
The quiet development of Colin White and Ivan Njegovan has strengthened Ohio State’s depth
Ohio State’s basketball season has largely been defined by its core rotation. Players like Bruce Thornton, John Mobley Jr., Devin Royal, and Amare Bynum have carried the majority of the scoring and minutes as the Buckeyes push toward the postseason. But beneath that primary group, the development of younger depth pieces has quietly helped stabilize […]
Ohio State makes the cut for four-star Ohio OL
Spring has finally arrived in Columbus, Ohio. While the spring may officially be a couple weeks away for the rest of the country, for Ryan Day and the Ohio State football team, it starts today. Today marks the start of Ohio State’s spring football practices. This year’s group of Buckeyes will take the field at […]
The good and the bad from Ohio State women’s Big Ten Tournament
The first round of postseason basketball is in the books for Ohio State women’s basketball. After the Buckeyes missed a top-four spot and double-bye, head coach Kevin McGuff’s side won its first two games only to earn the right to face the nationally No. 2 ranked UCLA Bruins in a repeat outcome from their regular […]
Amare Bynum’s breakout may be the key to Ohio State’s ceiling
Ohio State’s basketball season has largely revolved around its backcourt. Bruce Thornton’s scoring and leadership, along with John Mobley Jr.’s perimeter shooting, have shaped much of the Buckeyes’ offensive identity. But as the season has moved toward March, another storyline has started to take shape. Freshman forward Amare Bynum has quietly evolved from a developmental […]
Remember When: Devin Smith was Ohio State’s deep ball demon
Devin Smith was never destined to rack up receptions at Ohio State. The track star specializing in sprints and the long jump out of Massillon High was a three-star recruit and his specialty was always going to be taking the top off the defense. That’s exactly what he did during his time at Ohio State. […]
What are the Ohio men’s odds to win the Big Ten and NCAA Tournaments?
You would be forgiven for checking out on the Ohio State men’s basketball team following a demoralizing 74-57 loss to Iowa on Feb. 25. At that point, just a week and a half ago, it seemed like Jake Diebler’s team was destined for a fourth-straight year of missing the NCAA Tournament. Between injuries and uninspired […]

Ohio State makes the cut for nation’s No. 1 LB, sends out flurry of new offers
The snow is finally melting during a lovely stretch of a March false spring, and the only thing that could make things better is some Buckeyes football.

Where Ohio State women stand in hosting NCAA Tournament basketball
Big Ten basketball is over for No. 11 Ohio State women’s basketball. The Buckeyes headed to Indianapolis for the 2026 Big Ten Tournament, won two games, and fell to the No. 1-seeded UCLA Bruins in the semifinals. Looming over the first batch of postseason basketball was where Ohio State would play next. Here is how […]

Ohio State’s men’s and women’s lacrosse teams post mixed results on Saturday
Ohio State’s men’s and women’s lacrosse teams held a doubleheader at the Ohio State Lacrosse Stadium on Saturday. Unfortunately both teams weren’t able to secure a win. The women’s squad tried to set the tone early, beating Vanderbilt 16-4 in their final game before they open up Big Ten next week. The men’s team fought […]
Bruce is Boss: Ohio State rolls Indiana 91-78, Thornton becomes all-time leading scorer
With everything going on outside of the actual basketball game — Senior Day and Bruce Thornton chasing down Dennis Hopson’s all-time scoring record, namely — it was easy to forget that Saturday’s game between Ohio State (20-11, 12-8) and Indiana (18-12, 9-11) also had massive NCAA Tournament implications. Aided by recent wins over Purdue and […]
No. 5 Ohio State women sunk by rough second quarter, lose to No. 1 UCLA 72-62
After wins in No. 5 Ohio State women’s basketball’s first two games of the 2026 Big Ten Tournament, the Buckeyes’ biggest test came Saturday against the No. 1-seeded UCLA Bruins. Head coach Cori Close’s Bruins did not lose in their 19 previous Big Ten games headed into Saturday, so the Buckeyes needed to have their […]
Four predictions for Ohio State’s senior day game against Indiana
It’s not an exaggeration to say that Saturday night’s game between Ohio State (19-11, 11-8) and Indiana (18-12, 9-10) is the biggest game of the Jake Diebler era. Seeking out their 20th win of the year and 12th Big Ten win, the Buckeyes could all but lock up their first NCAA Tournament bid since 2022 […]
3 storylines and how to watch No. 5 Ohio State women vs. No. 1 UCLA
The last time a Big Ten team ranked No. 5 or lower won a conference tournament was 2011, when Ohio State women’s basketball head coach Jim Foster led the Buckeyes over the No. 2 Penn State Nittany Lions. Those were different days. The Big Ten had 11 teams, the Penn State Nittany Lions were near […]
