I’m still thinking about the Olympics. I’m filling the void with Ohio State women’s ice hockey
The Winter Olympics ended on Feb. 22, and since then, I’ve been chasing the high of having my emotional support athletes on TV round-the-clock. Alas, the new season of Love is Blind doesn’t hit the same for me, even with its Columbus connections. In my attempts to fill the void, I’ve found myself reliving Ohio […]
With his fingers taped together, John Mobley Jr. returned to form at the best time for Ohio State
Two weeks ago, it wasn’t even a guarantee that John Mobley Jr. would be able to play against Purdue on Sunday. 21 points and two taped fingers later, the sophomore guard was the catalyst in helping the Ohio State Buckeyes snag its biggest win of the season. The Buckeyes (18-11, 10-8) defeated the No. 8 […]

While 15 Big Ten teams prepare for the start of the Big Ten Tournament on Wednesday, the conference announced its regular-season honors.

Taison Chatman’s heads-up play, aggression is exactly what Ohio State needs from its bench
Ohio State head coach Jake Diebler lamented his team’s inability to have a short memory after the Buckeyes’ 74-57 loss to Iowa on February 25. Poor defensive execution was carrying over to the offensive end. Poor shot selection and the disappointment of missing point-blank looks carried over to the defensive end, leading to a cascade […]

Ohio State makes the cut for 2027 five-star WR
It is finally starting to feel like spring in Columbus, Ohio. In just one week, this year’s Ohio State Buckeyes will take the field as the first spring practice for the Buckeyes is scheduled for March 10. These practices are crucial for the coaching staff in not only finding the identity of this year Buckeyes […]
A statistical error delayed Kennedy Cambridge setting OSU’s steals record, but it felt better after a win anyway
On Sunday, the No. 13 Ohio State women’s basketball team traveled to East Lansing, Michigan, and nearly ran the No. 15 Michigan State Spartans out of their own gym. The victory gave the Scarlet and Gray much-needed momentum and an edge over a team ranked two spots ahead of them in the NCAA Tournament committee’s […]
You’re Nuts: Which Buckeye will you be rooting for to win gold at the 2028 Summer Olympics?
The 2026 Winter Olympics wrapped up last weekend. The games gave us numerous memories, most notably Buckeyes Joy Dunne, Cayla Barnes, and Hannah Bilka winning gold with Team USA’s women’s hockey team, who, like the men’s team, beat Canada 2-1 in overtime in the gold medal game. The play of the men’s and women’s teams […]
3 lessons from Ohio State women’s season-finale win over No. 15 Michigan State
As the band Queen once famously sang, “Another one bites the dust.” The dust in which Freddie Mercury sang about was probably not in regard to college basketball, but either way, it is now the end of another season of Big Ten women’s basketball. For No. 13 Ohio State women’s basketball, it was as good […]
Matt Patricia’s return is a continuity boost for Ohio State
It’s safe to say not everyone was sold on Ryan Day’s hire of Matt Patricia as defensive coordinator when Jim Knowles took the Penn State job. Our own site listed the uncertainty of the choice as one of the Buckeyes’ biggest concerns last summer. While things hadn’t gone so well for Patricia as an NFL […]
Who will start at left tackle for Ohio State in 2026?
Ohio State’s most important offensive line question might not be whether the Buckeyes have enough talent. It is whether they can align that talent in the way that gives the entire unit its highest ceiling. Left tackle sits at the center of that conversation. Austin Siereveld handled the job last season and started all 14 […]

Ohio State women’s Big Ten Tournament opening opponent and title road
The last five games of the season have not been kind to No. 13 Ohio State women’s basketball. After a one-point loss to the Maryland Terrapins, 13-point defeat to the Minnesota Golden Gophers and two-point overtime heartbreaker against the Michigan Wolverines, the Buckeyes finished the season on a high note Sunday in East Lansing, Michigan.

Moments that Mattered: Jake Diebler remains undefeated against Purdue, winning 82-74
The Ohio State men’s basketball team (18-11, 10-8) faced Purdue (22-7, 12-6) Sunday afternoon, which was about as close to a “do or die” game as it could possibly be without mathematically being a do-or-die game. With three games remaining, Ohio State came into Sunday’s game desperately needing to pin a big-time, quality win on […]
No. 13 Ohio State women humble No. 15 Michigan State in East Lansing, 87-68
After 17 Big Ten regular-season games, No. 13 Ohio State women’s basketball traveled to East Lansing, Michigan on Sunday to finish up the conference schedule against the No. 15 Michigan State Spartans. On the line was not only Big Ten Tournament seeding but turning around a run of form with three losses in the last […]
What Ohio State has to do to make the NCAA Tournament
Ohio State’s NCAA Tournament path has narrowed to something pretty simple. The Buckeyes are 17–11 after back-to-back losses at Michigan State and Iowa, and ESPN’s Bubble Watch now has them in true limbo. Ohio State’s at-large chances sit in the 50/50 range, its resume ranks in the mid-40s nationally, and the biggest blemish is glaring. […]

The end of the 2025-26 Big Ten regular season is on the horizon. Sunday afternoon, the last games of the campaign end and the final 15 teams to enter the Big Ten Tournament will know their seeds. For some, like the No. 2 nationally ranked UCLA Bruins, they are already a lock for the No. […]
2027 defensive back keeps Ohio State in the fold, coaching staff continues to rack up guests for spring
Ready to send another haul of first round picks in this year’s draft, guys like Sonny Styles and Arvell Reese stole all of the headlines on Thursday, and rightfully so.

You’re Nuts: Is this it for Ohio State men’s hoops?
Welcome back to “You’re Nuts,” where our basketball writers pick a debate topic and argue their side until the death, or until Ohio State is mathematically eliminated from the NCAA Tournament…which may have just happened.
