State of the Ohio State Basketball Program Address
March 02, 2022 14:56 - 22 minutesThere's bad losses. And then there is ... whatever the hell happened to Ohio State's basketball team last night. The Buckeyes -- who were 15-point favorites and had a win probability of 95.5 percent -- were beaten by Big Ten cellar dweller Nebraska 78-70 at the Schott. And that came on the heels of OSU's upset loss at Maryland on Sunday when the Terrapins dominated to the tune of 75-60. We can all be prisoners of the moment at times and overreact, especially when it involves our sports teams....

February 28, 2022 14:30 - 17 minutesOhio State's men's basketball team looked bad in a loss at Maryland yesterday, but the Buckeyes are still a lock to make the NCAA Tournament and will likely have a double-bye in the Big Ten tourney.

Duane on LB prospect: 'My lord' | Targeting defensive tackle, safety
February 15, 2022 14:47 - 15 minutesThis is what Ohio State fans pined for. New defensive coordinator Jim Knowles brings hope the Buckeyes can return to defensive dominance.

February 08, 2022 14:48 - 12 minutesLuke Montgomery is from Findlay, Ohio. Findlay High is actually three miles closer to the college in Ann Arbor than The Ohio State University in Columbus. Our vibe is proximity won't be the determining factor in his college decision. Ohio's top Class of 2023 prospect has announced Feb.17 as his commitment date. The 6-foot-5, 260-pound offensive lineman boasts a who's who of finalists: Ohio State, Michigan, Notre Dame, Penn State, Clemson and Oklahoma. The Top247 ranks Montgomery as the No. 1...
