Jaloni Cambridge’s leadership shone through in Ohio State women’s loss to No. 4 UCLA
There has been something different about No. 19 Ohio State women’s basketball point guard Jaloni Cambridge this season. The distinction is not hard to see, but sometimes it goes unnoticed. Cambridge’s change is clear and on display in front of everyone’s faces, but not everyone has it in front of their face. The sophomore guard […]

MC&J: Illinois, USC, and Iowa are next up in non-CFP bowl action
Bowls ATS: 9-14 (8-11 National, 1-4 B1G – 4 games pending) Season ATS: 141-128 (73-67 National, 68-61 B1G) The first few games after Christmas were brutal, as I lost the first five games played against the spread.

Four positions where Ohio State must bounce back vs. Miami
Ohio State did not put its best foot forward in the Big Ten Championship Game against Indiana. The game was there for the taking, but the Buckeyes didn’t take it.

Since the start of the 2022-23 NCAA women’s college basketball season, center Lauren Betts grew from a bench player for the Stanford Cardinals to an All-American with the UCLA Bruins.

Ryan Day, for better or worse, is taking matters into his own hands
A conversation coming out of the Buckeyes’ Big Ten Championship loss to Indiana centered around the Buckeyes potentially being distracted by Brian Hartline taking the head coaching job at South Florida.

Caleb Downs season in review: Ohio State’s defensive heartbeat and the nation’s best safety
Ohio State entered the 2025 season with few bigger returnees than junior safety Caleb Downs.

Bo Jackson and the Buckeye Standard: Ohio State’s next great running back
Ohio State has never lacked talent at running back, but true freshmen rarely seize the job and never look back. Bo Jackson did exactly that in 2025.
