Is the Big Ten the best conference in college basketball right now?
While we have all been hyper-focused on football for the past several months, college basketball is in full swing and getting into the meat of conference play. Ohio State is 11-5 overall and 3-3 in Big Ten play, but is coming off a loss to Washington this past Sunday. It’s shaping up to be another […]
Ohio State’s portal story may not be finished: why two departures could still turn into returns
The transfer portal is rarely a clean break anymore, and for Ohio State, that reality is becoming clearer by the day. As the Buckeyes continue reshaping their roster for the 2026 season, two players who entered the portal earlier this offseason remain unsigned, uncommitted, and very much part of the conversation in Columbus. Wide receiver […]
No. 14 Ohio State women welcome winless Penn State

Ohio State safety room reloaded: Experience, versatility, and a post-Caleb Downs reset
Ohio State did not pretend Caleb Downs could be replaced. When the program’s most impactful defensive player departed for the NFL Draft, the Buckeyes pivoted toward a different solution altogether, one built on depth, versatility, and experience rather than chasing a one-for-one replacement. The result is a safety room that looks different than it did […]
10 months after Cotie McMahon left Ohio State, transfer appears to be working for both sides
The number of reasons a player transfers is as numerous as the number of Division I college basketball programs. Depending on which side a fan’s allegiance falls, a transfer can be a savior or a detriment, but in the end, a player’s right to transfer into a different situation allows autonomy where there once was […]

Thus far, Ohio State has […]
Can undermanned Buckeyes stay afloat after flurry of frontcourt injuries?
The Ohio State men’s basketball team (11-5, 3-3) suffered two losses Sunday night. The Buckeyes’ 81-74 defeat at the hands of the Washington Huskies (10-6, 2-3) was the first, and somehow less crushing, loss of the evening.
