Ohio State basketball’s margin for error was already thin. Brandon Noel’s injury makes it even thinner.

It is not everyday that somebody meets a personal hero. When the rare event does happen, there is a good chance that any sort of planned speech or thank you turns into a bundle of nerves, mumbling, and tears or all three at the same time. For No. 19 Ohio State women’s basketball point guard […]
