Columbo Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 https://www.elevenwarriors.com/ohio-state-basketball/2019/11/109425/ohio-state-survives-scare-to-down-kent-state-71-52-at-st-john-arena The Basketball Buckeyes held their second annual Buckeye Classic game over in St. John Arena (a new tradition started last season by Coach Holtmann). This season they hosted an undefeated Kent State team in a game that was closer than the final score. The Buckeyes led 35-23 at halftime and had a 40-26 lead with 17:16 remaining when the Golden Flashes went on a 25-8 run to even the score 48-48 with 10:30 left. Then the 10th-ranked Basketball Buckeyes put the defensive clamps on and went on a 17-0 run to finish with a 71-52 win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkandStormy Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 ^Kent State came in undefeated, if I'm not mistaken. So a far cry from a pushover game. Either way, the Basketbucks are looking good early. They made it look easy against their toughest test - Villanova - early in the season, but their biggest game yet comes next week against North Carolina.

Columbo Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 https://www.elevenwarriors.com/ohio-state-basketball/2019/12/109975/ohio-state-trounces-no-7-north-carolina-74-49-to-head-home-with-a-top-10-road-win The 6th-ranked Basketball Buckeyes stormed into the Dean Dome last night and emerged with 25-point victory over 7th-ranked North Carolina. The game, which was part of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge (and the Big Ten won 8-6 because of OSU's win), saw the Buckeyes stifling defense hold down the Tar Heels in the second half and allowed them pull away from a two-point halftime lead. Ohio State's record improves to 8-0 with this win. The Basketball Buckeyes start Big Ten play against Penn State this Saturday (12/7) and then at Minnesota next Sunday (12/15) before returning to non-conference play against SE Missouri State, Kentucky and West Virginia - before beginning conference play on 1/3 for the rest of the regular season.

Because it seems like when a team is raised into the top 5, they get knocked down. A bunch of #1's have been beaten this season, Maryland rose to #4 last week and got upset, and after Michigan won a couple of big games to rise to #5 last week, they promptly lost two games. It didn't help that OSU were without their second-leading scorer - Duane Washington Jr. - who is dealing with a rib injury and is considered day to day. But it wasn't the offense that was subpar at Minnesota. Instead it was the defense that let the Buckeyes down in this game. The loss drops the 9-1 Buckeyes to #5 in this week's AP poll. So let's hope the Top 5 Curse won't still be in effect when the team plays #6 Kentucky this Saturday in Vegas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Buckeyes did it with a balanced attack that saw 6 players score at least 8 points. Washington returned after missing two games to come off the bench for 8 points in only 14 minutes. Carton also came off the bench for 15 points to lead all OSU players. Young and Kaleb Wesson each had 10 points with 6 and 8 rebounds respectively. Kaleb also fouled out with over 3 minutes remaining while the game was still in doubt. But unlike last season, it didn't spell doom - as the Buckeyes went to a three-guard to finish out the game. Next Sunday, Ohio State plays #25 West Virginia at Cleveland's Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse.

Seeing how well the Buckeyes are doing in both football and basketball reminds me of how we really get by ok without major league professional teams in these sports. They really are like our home team, and are so good. Also we can enjoy them and know they will not just pick up and leave and become the Boise Buckeyes because we won't cough up a billion dollars for a new stadium or something...in other words we will never have to deal with a Precourt type! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was interesting considering the amount of pro sports Ohio has. Also, Travel magazine recently had Columbus as one of the top 10 domestic travel locations for 2019 and mentioned the "legendary football team" among their many other food and drink recommendations. With the way modern college football is trending, the number of students attending Ohio State increasing every year, and alumni all over the country, I think the Ohio State sports brand will continue to get even bigger and more dominant. Definitely feels like a professional brand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is part of what Central Ohio is and really is part of our "brand" as a city and we should embrace it and put it in the best light possible. Not doing that is like some form of self-hate IMO. Also without Pro Basketball and Pro Football we can support the teams already in place in Ohio and also occasionally catch a game(close enough to easily drive). And Lord knows looking at the situation of those teams they sure can use the support! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Buckeyes held a six-point lead at halftime. But a poor shooting and turnover prone second half doomed the Buckeyes in this non-conference finale.

Columbo Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 The Basketball Buckeyes will be without starting forward Kyle Young for Friday's game against Wisconsin after he had his appendix removed this week. Young played in last Sunday's loss to West Virginia - finishing with two points and 11 rebounds - but was reportedly throwing up before and after the game. Then he had his appendix removed after the game on Monday(!) Young is Ohio State's second-leading rebounder at 6.8 per game, and is the team's fourth-leading scorer at 8.3 points per game. The team is listing Young as "game-to-game". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offensive woes have hit the roster with 31.3 percent shooting night in a loss to West Virginia, a 40.4 percent night in a loss to Wisconsin and then a 31.3 percent night in a loss at Maryland last night. Kyle Young is making a case to be the team MVP because he was out for the last two losses and hampered with appendicitis symptoms during the WV loss(!) Actually, with Young out, the team is diminished. With Young, the team can go eight-deep reliably and has a post threat to go along with Kaleb. Without Young the team can only go seven-deep reliably and opponents can focus solely on Kaleb in the post. Young is close to returning and could be back in the lineup this Saturday at Indiana.

Although Coach Holtmann upped the degree of difficulty by suspending sophomore guards Luther Muhammad and Duane Washington Jr. for the game. The team won comfortably - but it forced Kaleb Wesson, CJ Walker and DJ Carton to go iron man and play 35, 37 & 38 minutes. Suspending players has become a habit for Holtmann in all three of his OSU seasons. Kam Williams and Kaleb Wesson both served suspensions in 2017-18, and Wesson was suspended for three games in 2018-19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker's team now. The junior transfer from Florida State split time with Carton at point guard and took over once Carton left the team. In his 11 games without Carton, Walker's point and assist numbers went up along with his minutes - but his turnover numbers decreased. And whether coincidence or not, the team broke out of its losing streak and went 8-3 with Walker at the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branham posted his commitment to social media. The announcement ends the intrigue and speculation around one of the highest-rated and most tight-lipped recruitments in recent history.

In the final days leading to his decision, Ohio State, Alabama, Xavier, Louisville and Baylor were all widely considered to be his finalists. Branham is the No. 27 recruit in the nation. He is the highest-rated Ohioan to commit to the Buckeyes since Jared Sullinger, who was the No. 4 overall recruit in the class of 2010. He’s also the first top-rated Ohioan to pick Ohio State since Kaleb Wesson, who was the No. 75 national recruit, in 2017. With his commitment, Ohio State now has the No. 2 recruiting class in the nation, trailing only Baylor.

Columbo Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 With less than a week before tipping off the 2020-21 season, the Basketball Buckeyes released their schedule. It sure doesn't seem like its time for basketball yet with the shifted football schedule this year, but here it is: https://www.elevenwarriors.com/ohio-state-basketball/2020/11/118281/ohio-state-reveals-26-game-basketball-schedule-one-week-before-season-begins Instead of a 31-game regular season, the NCAA is mandating fewer games - so its six non-conference games and a 20-game Big Ten conference schedule. The Basketball Buckeyes open at home against Illinois State next Wednesday, Nov. 25. The two biggest non-conference games are a trip to Notre Dame in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge on Dec. 8 and a matchup with North Carolina in Cleveland on Dec. 19. Ohio State opens conference play at Purdue on Dec. 16 and concludes with a home game against Illinois on March 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gramarye Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Veering over to the women's basketball program for just a moment to note that I am having trouble processing the fact that one of our seniors, and apparently higher scorers, is named Braxtin Miller, which was very, very confusing when I started to hear that name called by announcer on the highlight reel. https://ohiostatebuckeyes.com/buckeyes-claim-another-ranked-win-beat-7-maryland-88-86/ (Also, we're now 9-1 on the season, ranked #14 and almost certain to climb after back-to-back wins over previously undefeated Michigan and now over #7 Maryland. We had something of a soft decade there after being a borderline powerhouse while I was in school.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
