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.

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, [...]

Tonight Big Ten basketball teams begin playing their conference schedules. Wisconsin takes on Nebraska, and Illinois plays Minnesota. Ohio State kicks off its Big Ten season tomorrow against Northwestern. It should be a very interesting Big Ten season. By far the most surprising team so far has been Indiana. The Hoosiers, who were woeful the [...]
The Big Ten Gets Interesting

I don’t like the idea of the “Legends” and “Leaders” divisions of the Big Ten, but I have to admit that the first years of the new format has turned out to be very interesting. Even the most diehard Big Ten fans grudgingly must admit that there are no dominant teams in the conference this [...]

What a great game! What a great homecoming victory! And what a great coming of age moment for Braxton Miller! This was a game where Ohio State’s defense, led by John Simon and Johnathan Hankins, was dominant for three quarters. In the meantime, the Buckeye offense was playing the ball control game, running the ball, [...]

Saturday night, the Nebraska Cornhuskers football team plays its first conference game as a member of the Big Ten. When the ball is kicked off and that game begins, the long-awaited expansion of the Big Ten becomes a reality. Fittingly, Nebraska’s first game is also a big game, and one that should give them a [...]

Ohio State stayed undefeated today, beating a game Toledo Rockets squad 27-22. By winning, the Buckeyes kept alive a 90-year-old streak against other Ohio teams — and woe betide the OSU head coach who sees that streak end on his watch — but they also gave their coaches lots to talk about in getting the [...]

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 [...]

The Ohio State Buckeyes were undefeated until they traveled to Madison, Wisconsin to play the Badgers. The Buckeyes built a 15-point lead early in the second half, but then Jordan Taylor caught fire. He was unconscious for the rest of the game and, with some help from his teammates, he led Wisconsin to victory. Losing [...]
