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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Ohio State won another tough Big Ten battle tonight, beating arch-rival Michigan 62-53. The game was a tale of two halves. In the first half, the Buckeyes were out of sync offensively. They turned the ball over and could not hit open shots. They scored 23 points, had several defensive breakdowns, and went into the [...]

The Buckeye Nation woke up whistling a happy tune this morning. The Basketball Buckeyes crushed the Purdue Boilermakers, 87-64, in what was easily Ohio State’s most complete and dominating game of the season. The Buckeyes pulled away from a solid Purdue team from the opening tip, never trailed, and inexorably increased their lead, which at [...]

A lot of people have been saying that the Big Ten is the strongest basketball conference in the country this year, and it is beginning to look like they might be right. Five games into the conference schedule (six for Minnesota, Northwestern, and Penn State), it looks like the Big Ten has a number of [...]
