Compete against fellow Buckeyes and LGHL writers in the women’s basketball tournament challenge.
It’s that time of year again. A time when multiple screens is not a luxury but a necessity. When paid time off at work is used liberally, or no work is done at all. That’s right, it’s NCAA Tournament time and Land-Grant Holy Land wants to add to the fun.
For the third season in a row, the site has a women’s basketball bracket challenge for you to join, for free (minus how much you pay to get on the internet and all that). Join the bracket challenge, fill out a bracket, and see if you can beat other Ohio State fans and non-Buckeye fans who just follow great basketball coverage.
Click here to sign up.
The winner of the tournament challenge receives the all-important bragging rights for one year. You can tell everyone online and in person that you are the best basketball prognosticator in the world and no one will be able to argue against you otherwise.
Each person who enters gets one bracket to enter. Go with all of the higher seeds, pick the most ferocious animal mascot (sorry, Brutus), or follow your heart. No matter which way you go, it’s the time of the year when completing a bracket is not only fun but required.
Brackets must be filled out and accepted by 11:30 a.m. ET on March 21, which is when the field of 64 teams begins play.
Thank you for playing and good luck!

With Selection Sunday in the rearview mirror, we also discuss our dream women’s basketball tournament matchups
Welcome to a new episode of Land-Grant Podcast Network’s Power Two Podcast. On this show, we talk about Big Ten and SEC football…and everyone else. This show is for the die-hard fans and the casual college football fans.
In this episode, Jordan and DJ discuss the small things that bring them joy. DJ got a new cup that she’s really excited about and Jordan loves to ride the subway alone. The sun has come out and it has raised both of their spirits as well!
In the news, DJ and Jordan react to Steph Curry getting the Assistant General Manager Role at Davidson. DJ thinks it’s an indication of his impending retirement and Jordan thinks it’s just a glamor title. DJ also shares her excitement for the announcement of “The Real SC” series that will occur between the University of South Carolina and the University of Southern California women’s basketball. They are slated for the next two years, which means we get to see Juju Watkins and Milaysia Fulwiley head to head for two years! To wrap up the news, Jordan sounds off on Justin Field’s new NFL contract.
In the two-minute drill, DJ kicks off a conversation about women’s college basketball bracketology. Her dream Elite 8 would be South Carolina, UConn, USC, Notre Dame, Duke, NC State, LSU, and UCLA. Jordan shares that his dream championship game would be either South Carolina and UConn or South Carolina and USC. They discuss the potential changes in the rankings with Selection Sunday fast approaching. DJ believes that South Carolina will take the number one seed even with UCLA currently holding it. DJ and Jordan agreed that they would be happy with either UConn or South Carolina hoisting up the trophy in the end.
For the pregame power sweep, we discuss Big 12 Football. DJ and Jordan share the sentiment that this may be the conference that they watch the least but there is a small group of teams to watch. Kansas State, BYU, Arizona State, and Iowa State were mentioned as the teams to keep an eye on throughout the season. DJ picks for games to watch were: Arizona State - Utah, BYU-Colorado, BYU - Iowa State, Kansas - Kansas State, and Kansas - Iowa State. Jordan’s picks were: Iowa State - Kansas State, ASU-Colorado, ASU - ISU, Utah - BYU, and WVU - Kansas.
In the two-minute warning, DJ shares information about the upcoming WNBA Draft on April 14. Jordan expresses his concerns about the recent news about Southwest Airlines eliminating free checked baggage.
If you like the show, please share it with friends and family and leave a five-star review. If you want to keep up with the show, subscribe to the Land-Grant Podcast Network Feed where new episodes drop every Monday. You can also find Jordan’s article including B1G Thoughts on the Land-Grant Holy Land website.

Ohio State hosting big names as spring practice begins on Monday

2026 Ohio Sate OL commit Maxwell Riley | Dan Harker, 247Sports
The Buckeyes return to the practice field in front of a number of top prospects.
Ohio State will return to the (practice) field for the first time since securing a national championship with the start of spring practice on Monday. The Buckeyes will feature a ton of new faces this year, but Ryan Day and his staff still have a loaded roster at their disposal as they try to go back-to-back in the 12-team College Football Playoff era.
While the on-field happenings are sure to bring their fair share of news and updates, there is equally as much happening off the field as Ohio State will host a ton of top prospects on Monday during its first of 15 practice sessions, which will culminate in the “Spring Showcase” on April 12 as a replacement for the traditional Spring Game.
Here are some of the big names who will be in attendance at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center this afternoon. All rankings are via the 247Sports Composite unless otherwise noted.
Riley will be making his first trip to Columbus as a member of the Buckeyes’ 2026 class, having been to Ohio State several times in the past year including for the team’s national title celebration back in January. The Avon Lake native will get a chance to do some peer recruiting as one of five OSU commits in the current class and the first offensive lineman.
Speaking of peer recruiting, fellow in-state offensive lineman Sam Greer will also be in attendance on Monday as part of a busy few weeks of visits for the 6-foot-6.5, 310-pound tackle. Of note, this will be the first time that Greer and new Ohio State position coach Tyler Bowen will get to meet in person.
Having last visited Ohio State for the Michigan game, Kruel will make a return visit to Columbus on Monday. The IMG Academy standout included the Buckeyes among his top 12 schools a few weeks ago, having cut his offer sheet down from a whopping 50 schools.
A teammate of incoming Ohio State freshman wide receiver Quincy Porter at Bergen Catholic in New Jersey, Thomas will make the trip to Columbus on Monday having last visited for the Buckeyes’ 45-0 beatdown of Purdue in November. With over 40 offers to his name, the 6-foot-1 defensive back will use his spring visits to trim down his list of suitors.
Smith has already been to Ohio State on a number of occasions, but will once again make the trek to campus on Monday to, like Greer, meet face-to-face with Bowen for the first time. The Vero Beach product — the same high school as incoming freshman linebacker Tarvos Alford — arrived on Sunday for what will be a multi-day visit.
One of about a half-dozen linebackers in the 2027 class already with an Ohio State offer, Irvin will travel to Columbus with Kreul and others as his teammate at IMG Academy. The 6-foot, 195-pound defender, who also plays running back, received his offer from the Buckeyes back in May 2024.
A few other notable names who will be in attendance on Monday include:

- Ohio State will be getting a visit later this week from high four-star 2027 wide receiver, Monshun Sales. The Indianapolis native, who will check in with the Buckeyes at their spring practice on Wednesday, is currently the No. 6 WR and No. 40 player nationally per the 247Sports Composite.

Savannah Bananas sell out game at 65,000-seat Raymond James Stadium, home of NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Bananas were able to attract a capacity crowd, highlighting how popular their act has become
In a testament to the growing popularity of the team, the Savannah Bananas sold out Raymond James Stadium for a Saturday night game against their touring partner, the Savannah Party Animals. The Bananas commemorated their first game in an NFL stadium in style, as they played in front of a sold-out crowd of 65,000 at the home of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Bananas -- effectively the Harlem Globetrotters of baseball -- have become an increasingly popular act in recent years, as "Banana Ball" has gained mass appeal to the point that they had sold out Major League Baseball stadiums prior to their first sellout of an NFL stadium. The Bananas won Saturday's game 11-10, as DR Meadows hit a ball to an empty outfield that was ruled a walk-off grand slam.
