Ohio State blitzed Illinois yesterday and avoided having an actual losing streak for the first time in years. 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 [...]

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 Big Ten Free-For-All

This afternoon Ohio State hosts Indiana at the Schott. Even though the season is young, it’s being viewed as a must-win game for the Buckeyes — but then again, just about every game in the Big Ten this year may be of the must-win variety. This year appears to be the most balanced Big Ten [...]
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, [...]

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 [...]

Tonight Ohio State and Kentucky face off in Newark, New Jersey for the right to move along into the Elite Eight. Ohio State will hope to avoid the kind of upset that has knocked out Duke and Pitt, and Kentucky will try to beat Ohio State for the first time in an NCAA tournament. Late [...]

The Ohio State Buckeyes rolled on to the Sweet 16 today. Next weekend, they will play one of the most storied teams in college basketball — the Kentucky Wildcats — for the chance to move on to the Elite Eight. Tonight the Buckeyes pulverized a game, but totally outmatched, George Mason team. After falling behind [...]

It was very satisfying, indeed, to watch Ohio State crush Wisconsin today, 93-65. The blow-out win was a fitting send-off to David Lighty, Jon Diebler, and Dallas Lauderdale, who will go down as one of the best — and certainly most beloved — senior classes in Ohio State hoops history. It also was nice to [...]

Tuesday night some friends invited Kish and I to watch the Buckeyes play Illinois at the Schott. We had a great time watching the Buckeyes beat up on a traditional Big Ten power. I don’t know what will happen for the rest of the season or in the NCAA Tournament. I do know, however, that [...]
