Playing in front of a friendly home crowd, the Buckeyes shot lights out in the first half and gave their reserves plenty of playing time in the second half. They ended up beating Illinois 83-67, in a [...]

Tonight the Ohio State Buckeyes travel to Ann Arbor for a game with Michigan. It will be a battle for the Big Ten lead. The Buckeyes are 10-3, tied for first with Michigan State with the Wolverines just behind at 9-4. Playing with first place in the Big Ten on the line has gotten to [...]

The Ohio State Buckeyes have finally — finally! — won a game at Wisconsin’s Kohl Center. They beat the Badgers today today, 58-52, in as tough and hard-fought a game as you would ever expect to see. Jared Sullinger was a beast on the inside; he scored 24 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, and Wisconsin [...]

Tomorrow the Buckeyes play the Michigan Wolverines at the Schott. The winner will stay atop the Big Ten. The loser is, well, the loser. Michigan has a good team this year. Tim Hardaway is one of the Big Ten’s best offensive players. Jordan Morgan plays a tough inside game. Trey Burke has been a huge [...]

Ohio State pulverized Penn State tonight, 78-54. The Nittany Lions were just overmatched, as Ohio State improved to 6-2 in the Big Ten and 18-3 overall. It was a good victory for the Buckeyes, who have won their last three games resoundingly after a tough loss to Illinois. Tonight, the Ohio State offense was clicking, [...]
The Buckeyes Hit The Road, To Jayhawk Land (Cont.)

Jared Sullinger sat out today’s game, and Ohio State fell short and suffered its first loss of the season. Kansas shot the ball well, Thomas Robinson was a beast down low, and the Jayhawks pulled away from the Buckeyes at the end, 78-67. However, I can’t be too discouraged by the Buckeyes’ play today. Clearly, [...]

So far this season, the basketball Buckeyes have stayed within the comfortable confines of the Schott. They’ve beaten some good teams — Duke and Florida among them — but you never quite know about a team’s character until you see them on the road, playing before screaming fans in a hostile arena. Today that will [...]

Tonight at 9:30 p.m. the Ohio State men’s basketball team will take on the Duke Blue Devils at Value City Arena. It’s a match-up that will pit no. 2 against no. 3 and the winningest coach of all time, Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski, against a strong up-and-comer in the Buckeyes’ Thad Matta. The game is part [...]
Liking Lenzelle

There’s lots to like about this year’s version of the Ohio State men’s basketball team. They’ve got the dominant inside player in Jared Sullinger, the scrappy point guard in Aaron Craft, the steady senior scorer in William Buford, and the instant offense in Deshaun Thomas. They’ve got some talent on the bench, too. But for [...]
Gunning For The Gators

Tonight the Ohio State Buckeyes, ranked no. 3 in the polls, take on the Florida Gators, ranked no. 8, at Value City Arena. Such early games make college basketball a lot of fun. It’s great to see the powerhouses play each other, and unlike college football, an early season loss isn’t fatal to your chances [...]

We’re still a few weeks away from the start of the college basketball season for the Ohio State Buckeyes, and already you can feel the excitement building. This week, the first coaches’ poll of the season came out, and the Buckeyes landed at number 3. It’s meaningless, of course — but this year should be [...]

Aaron Craft And Apollo

One of the many pleasant surprises for this year’s Ohio State basketball team has been the play of Aaron Craft. Craft, a freshman, typically comes into the game about five minutes in to play the point. He brings the ball up, doesn’t seem to get rattled by pressure, can drive the lane and dish, and [...]
