Ohio State’s new-look cornerback room: Top-heavy, talented, and built for next season
Ohio State’s defensive backfield is among the most intriguing position groups heading into the 2026 season, and at the center of that intrigue is a cornerback room that blends experience, transfer talent, and incoming youth. With a pair of reliable starters locking up the perimeter and a collection of high-ceiling backups pushing for snaps, the […]
Visiting Locker Room: Winsidr on the TCU Horned Frogs
Monday is an oddity in the NCAA college basketball calendar with two nonconference games played at a time when conference basketball hits its stride. No. 14 Ohio State women’s basketball is part of The Coretta Scott King Classic doubleheader against a team it never played in its program history — The No. 10 TCU Horned […]
You’re Nuts: Where do we draw the line with overseas, American pros in college basketball?
Happy Friday, folks. As we mentally prepare for Ohio State to begin a stretch of three home games over the next nine days, we’re stepping to the side to discuss something that’s not super relevant to the Buckeyes (yet), but very relevant to the game at large. The biggest debate in this sport over the […]
Three lessons from No. 14 Ohio State women’s win over Penn State
Take a look at the final score of No. 14 Ohio State women’s basketball’s win over the Penn State Nittany Lions on Wednesday and it was a comfortable 24-point victory. The 108-84 victory fell in line with the two teams’ records, and the 6-1 in conference play Buckeyes handed the Nittany Lions their seventh Big […]

Ohio State adds three more portal commits, keep key veteran players for 2026
Admittedly, the beginning stages of the transfer portal window looked pretty bleak for the Buckeyes. Seeing Ohio State lose depth piece after depth piece early on, other notable programs were quickly making moves while it felt like time was standing still in Columbus. That feeling has certainly shifted in the last few days, because the […]
Elsa Lemmilä: Recovery, reunion, and results for Ohio State women’s basketball
College athletes are busy. There is practice multiple times a week, conditioning, games of basketball that sometimes require traveling to the other side of the country, and, oh yeah, classes with homework. All of that requires a support structure, and when your family lives nearly 4,500 miles away, it means a large part of that […]

Ohio State lands a big-time kicker in the transfer portal, still looking for more
Ohio State needed to find a kicker for their 2026 roster. A program that hasn’t exceeded their own expectations on special teams the last few years, it really starts with the kicking game. The Buckeyes knew the transfer portal had to be their way to address the issue, and fortunately on Wednesday they did just […]
No. 14 Ohio State women get revenge on Penn State, 108-84
After a busy, successful week away from the Schottenstein Center for No. 14 Ohio State women’s basketball, the Buckeyes returned home on Wednesday night against Penn State. After an upset defeat to the Nittany Lions in State College, Pennsylvania nearly one year ago, 33 points from point guard Jaloni Cambridge extended Penn State’s Big Ten […]
Is the Big Ten the best conference in college basketball right now?
While we have all been hyper-focused on football for the past several months, college basketball is in full swing and getting into the meat of conference play. Ohio State is 11-5 overall and 3-3 in Big Ten play, but is coming off a loss to Washington this past Sunday. It’s shaping up to be another […]
Ohio State’s portal story may not be finished: why two departures could still turn into returns
The transfer portal is rarely a clean break anymore, and for Ohio State, that reality is becoming clearer by the day. As the Buckeyes continue reshaping their roster for the 2026 season, two players who entered the portal earlier this offseason remain unsigned, uncommitted, and very much part of the conversation in Columbus. Wide receiver […]
No. 14 Ohio State women welcome winless Penn State
The Penn State Nittany Lions are 1-23 in Big Ten play since the start of the 2024-25 season. This season, head coach Carolyn Kieger’s side is winless in six conference games and are on a 16-game Big Ten losing streak. That last victory? It came against Ohio State women’s basketball on Jan. 19, 2025. Now, […]
Film Room: The 3-possession stretch that doomed Ohio State against Washington

Three days after taking a five-point lead into the break against Oregon and ultimately winning by 10, Ohio State filed into the visitor’s locker room at […]

Ohio State safety room reloaded: Experience, versatility, and a post-Caleb Downs reset
Ohio State did not pretend Caleb Downs could be replaced. When the program’s most impactful defensive player departed for the NFL Draft, the Buckeyes pivoted toward a different solution altogether, one built on depth, versatility, and experience rather than chasing a one-for-one replacement. The result is a safety room that looks different than it did […]
10 months after Cotie McMahon left Ohio State, transfer appears to be working for both sides
The number of reasons a player transfers is as numerous as the number of Division I college basketball programs. Depending on which side a fan’s allegiance falls, a transfer can be a savior or a detriment, but in the end, a player’s right to transfer into a different situation allows autonomy where there once was […]
Ohio State still searching for another running back in the transfer portal
Ohio State’s offseason roster construction continues to be a major point of discussion, and one position that remains firmly in the spotlight is running back. While the Buckeyes have added and retained several pieces this offseason, it is becoming increasingly clear that Ohio State is still actively looking to bring another proven player back into […]
Five things to know about Ohio State’s transfer portal class as of Jan. 12
In the new era of mass exodus in the transfer portal, having a successful transfer class could make or break the season. Ohio State’s 2024 transfer class, which included Caleb Downs, Will Howard, Quinshon Judkins, Julian Sayin, and Seth McLaughlin (among others), propelled that Buckeye team to a national title. Thus far, Ohio State has […]
Can undermanned Buckeyes stay afloat after flurry of frontcourt injuries?
The Ohio State men’s basketball team (11-5, 3-3) suffered two losses Sunday night. The Buckeyes’ 81-74 defeat at the hands of the Washington Huskies (10-6, 2-3) was the first, and somehow less crushing, loss of the evening. The more impactful, and potentially long-term loss Ohio State suffered on Sunday was an injury to starting center […]

Off-Script Ohio: Transfer turbulence, playoff chaos, and a pivotal stretch for Buckeye hoops
Even without taking the field, Ohio State’s season moved in multiple directions this week. While the College Football Playoff delivered blowouts and revelations, the Buckeyes continued reshaping their roster through the transfer portal. Meanwhile, Ohio State basketball lived another week on the razor’s edge, flashing both tournament potential and familiar late-game frustration. Portal season: additions, […]
