Their board is hilariously (and unsurprisingly) delusional. They think they're capable of a Sweet 16 run and that this little bit of publicity this year has now propelled them into being seen as a potential ACC member.

You think I'm exaggerating?

They really think they belong in that group. They're 145th in the USNews ranking, accept 82% of their applicants and have an average SAT 100 points lower than Ohio State and as much as 200+ points lower than most schools on that list.

The Big 12 is utilizing an experimental court surface for their conference tournament. It's some sort of glass surface. It lights up the 3-point arc when someone hits a 3, and lights up the interior of the 3-point arc with a broken glass image when someone makes a dunk. They also are able to put graphics of each team on the court and switch them up depending on the matchups & of course use the surface for advertising images. It seems slightly more slippery than normal hardwood - a Texas Tech player slipped and got hurt after his foot slid when trying to cut for a pass.

Seems like the basketball Gods might be setting this up for a Miami OH vs Auburn in Dayton first four game with both losing today.

No at large bid has ever gone to a 16 loss team (Auburn 17-16)
No at large bid has ever gone to a team with a SOS below 250 (Miami OH SOS 364)

I don't think Auburn is getting in at 17-16 if they woulda beaten Tennessee they woulda had a great chance but I think they are cooked

Another Quad 1 Win for the Buckeyes today!! At this point, we need to look more about where OSU will be seeded. My hope is they avoid the 8-9 game, but it's going to be tough. They might have to beat UM to get to a #7 seed.

That was what was ironic about beating Iowa today a loss and probably a 10 seed and now looking at a 9 seed. 9 seed is the worst.

I would rather be an 11 seed

Since we are pretty much firmly in now I really hope that Saint Louis/VCU don't win the A10 tourney, Utah State doesn't win the MWC tourney, and Miami OH doesn't win the MAC tourney. Give me all of the bid steals to push teams like Auburn completely out.

I might barf if Auburn backs in at barely above .500 because everyone else keeps losing.

Noticce how as soon as ESPN lost the B1G contract for Basketball. Suddenly the SEC became the bestest basiketball conference ever and they act like it always was damn good

ESPN is always going to comically shill for the product they are under contract with, it's very annoying and its even more bullshit in football since they control the CFP and get extra influence over it, but it is what it is at this point.

Auburn is literally living off of "BUT BUT THEY PLAYED THE #1 SCHEDULE!" so, this is a very SEC thing indeed.

They shouldn't even be in the conversation at all based on their actual merit as a team. It's part SEC hackery and part the bubble just being that much of a joke this year.

Ballsy move! Kickboxer pulls car with just his testicles in bizarre stunt for mental health awareness​

He went balls-out for a good cause.

A British kickboxer pulled a car hundreds of feet with just his testicles in a nutty attempt to raise awareness about mens’ mental health.

John Stephenson, 50, attached his junk to a 4,500-pound SEAT León sports car and dragged it roughly 150 feet with just his raw manpower, according to Yorkshirelive.com.

“When I’d finished, my plums were bright purple but I’m still firing on all cylinders,” Stephenson quipped to the outlet.

He pulled off the bizarre stunt in Halifax, England, while aptly snacking on a bag of nuts on Feb. 27 — becoming the first person ever to complete the feat in the United Kingdom, the outlet reported.

Stephenson said he hoped to use publicity from the ballsy move to urge men to get the mental health treatment they need.

Presser Bullets: Julian Sayin Working to Improve As Runner, Kenyatta Jackson Jr. Loves What He's Seeing from Zion Grady and Qua Russaw​

Julian Sayin​

  • On how he's preparing to be more of a weapon with his legs: "I've done a lot of stuff with Coach Mick this offseason of getting stronger, getting more powerful."
  • Sayin said he's enjoyed welcoming all the new players for Ohio State. "It's been a fun offseason getting to know these guys ... I think we compete well together ... I think it'll be a good group."
  • On Arthur Smith as Ohio State's offensive coordinator: "Obviously a great offensive coordinator in the NFL and someone I can learn a lot from. ... It's been great. I love working with him."
  • On being good against the blitz: "I think it's just having a good feel for the pocket."
  • On new wide receivers Devin McCuin, Kyle Parker and Chris Henry Jr.: "Devin and Kyle, it's been great to have those guys as transfers. ... Both those guys have a lot of speed, so I'm excited about them. ... Chris has been great so far. For a freshman, he's been making a lot of great plays."
  • Sayin said there's been a bigger emphasis on him making checks at the line of scrimmage and having more say in the offense this season. "I think we've done a lot giving the quarterback more responsibility at the line of scrimmage the last few days." Sayin said it's also been about him taking on more of a leadership role and coaching up some of the younger guys.
  • On the perspective Smith has brought: "As a quarterback, you're gonna have to learn new offenses and learn new verbiage and stuff like that, so it's been great to see that new perspective."
  • Sayin said there's "not too much different" that Smith is bringing to Ohio State's offense.
  • On his biggest areas of focus this offseason: "There's so many things I can improve on and just keep elevating my game. ... It's been a very fun offseason, because there's so many things that we did good last year but can be so much better. ... It's been encouraging to chase those."
  • Sayin and Jeremiah Smith enter their third year together as leaders of the program. "We've been working to get even better on the field and know what each other is thinking."
  • On the offensive line: "Have a great relationship with those guys. ... Having that with the room has been awesome."
  • On his conversations with Matt Patricia: "Have a good relationship with him. ... He's been someone who's been impactful on me because of the knowledge of the game and experience that he has."
  • Sayin said his new beard probably won't be permanent, though Austin Siereveld and Luke Montgomery want him to keep growing it.
  • Sayin said he's added five or 10 pounds this offseason.

Kenyatta Jackson Jr.​

  • On his decision to come back: "I came back to be a more complete football player. ... I've taken that leadership role with more guys in the room. I've just taken them in and shown them the ropes of Ohio State football."
  • "Everybody" has made an impression among the new players in the defensive line room, but especially the new defensive tackles James Smith and John Walker.
  • Jackson said he switched to No. 2 because it was his high school number. He had wanted to wear No. 2 since he was in high school, “but then Caleb Downs came,” Jackson said with a laugh.
  • Becoming stronger, more explosive and developing his pass rush are offseason focuses for Jackson.
  • After dealing with some injuries, Jackson said self-doubt limited him early in the season, but he played better as he got more comfortable. "Late in the season, I just trusted myself."
  • On freshman defensive end Khary Wilder: "Real quiet, but he keeps his head down and he works real hard."
  • On his leadership role: "I'm pretty comfortable. It's still hard, I mean we've got 51 new players. ... I've been here for a very long time and I know what the standard is."
  • Jackson said that there's an edge for Ohio State's returning players after how last season ended, but there's also a lot of new guys to get into the flow of things. "The people that have been here, we have an edge, but trying to get those 51 new guys to tap into what we're trying to do."
  • On sophomore defensive end Zion Grady: "He's been taking his weight room and conditioning, training pretty seriously. He's got all the assets, all the tools."
  • Jackson didn't indicate a strong preference for any certain role. "Whatever Coach Patricia puts me in, whatever he wants me to do, I'll do."
  • On the impression he wants Ohio State's defensive line to leave on people: "The hardest, toughest unit in the country. That's what I want people to say about this defensive line."
  • Jackson said new Alabama transfer defensive end Qua Russaw looks strong and quick in practice, and added that it's awkward having the two veteran leaders of the room be naturally quieter guys – but they make it work.
