Ohio State lacrosse rallies to beat Marquette 12-6

The Buckeyes overcame a two-goal deficit in the second quarter to beat the Golden Eagles in Milwaukee.
The Ohio State Buckeyes men’s lacrosse team scored their best win of the young season with a 12-6 victory over Marquette in Milwaukee in their first road test of the year. With the win, the 20th-ranked Buckeyes move to 5-0 on the season--their best start since 1966.
Ohio State overcame a slow start to earn the win. After allowing two goals in the first quarter, the Buckeyes finally found the back of the net on a score by senior attackman Eric Fannell. A quick, man-up goal by freshman midfielder Tre Leclaire tied things up for Ohio State by the end of the first quarter.
The Golden Eagles, however, were not done, and scored the first two goals of the second quarter to pull ahead of Ohio State. Junior defenseman Freddy Freibott closed the gap to one on a goal with 12:05 remaining in the quarter, but Marquette scored once again to keep their lead to two goals late in the first half. The Buckeyes, however, began to mount their comeback at the end of the second quarter on goals by senior attackman Austin Shanks in a man-up opportunity and Leclaire, tying things up heading into halftime.
The Buckeyes continued their run into the third quarter. Shanks scored his second goal of the game to give Ohio State their first lead of the day. One minute later, Leclaire found the back of the net to complete his hat trick with his third goal of the game. Senior midfielder J.T. Blubaugh then gave Ohio State a three-goal lead on a score with 2:29 left in the third quarter to give the Buckeyes an 8-5 advantage heading into the final quarter of play.
Ohio State quickly added to their lead on goals by freshman midfielder Ryan Terefenko, Blubaugh and Fannell within the first 2:30 of the quarter. Sophomore attackman Jack Jasinski then found the back of the net to give the Buckeyes a 12-5 advantage with 5:27 left to play. Until allowing the final goal of the game with 2:11 remaining in the fourth quarter, the Buckeyes held Marquette scoreless for 31:08 game minutes.
Leclaire led the Buckeyes in scoring with three goals and one assist on the day. The freshman has now scored at least one goal per game in five career collegiate matchups. Fannell had two goals and two assists of his own for four total points.
Despite losing the opening faceoff, senior specialist Jake Withers had one of his best games this season, winning 16-of-21 faceoff attempts on the day and recovering a team-high 10 groundballs. Overall, the Buckeyes won the groundball battle by a 30-19 margin.
Junior goalie Matthew Smidt had eight saves on the day in his first career start, playing all 60 minutes in goal. Overall shots on goal were 30-14 in favor of the Buckeyes. Marquette recorded 18 saves on the day.
With the loss, Marquette falls to 1-2 on the season. Next up, Ohio State is scheduled to face Bellarmine in Milwaukee Sunday.

Ohio State vs. Indiana 2017 final score: OSU ends regular season with defeat, 96-92

Indiana fights back to send OSU to the Big Ten Tournament’s opening round.
On the final day of the 2016-2017 regular season, Ohio State (17-14, 7-11) suffered a disappointing defeat at the hands of the visiting Indiana Hoosiers (17-14, 7-11), 96-92. Despite a fervent OSU comeback, the season-ending defeat means that the Buckeyes will finish no higher than 11th in the final Big Ten seedings, meaning that they will play in the conference tournament’s first round on Wednesday.
The IU total is the most points that Ohio State has ever allowed in the Value City Arena.
The Hoosiers rushed out to a lightning quick 11-0 lead in the game’s first 2:21, shooting 4-4 from the field, including three three-pointers by three different players. OSU head coach Thad Matta used his first timeout to settle his team, and on the subsequent possession, C.J. Jackson opened the scoring for the home team with a three-pointer.
However, the sophomore’s trey did little to stem the IU tide. Over the next six minutes, the Hoosiers continued their incredible shooting, hitting 13 of their first 15, and the two misses resulted in offensive rebounds and put-backs. The hot shooting included five three-pointers in seven attempts.
Indiana was aided by a seemingly listless Buckeye team on both ends of the court. Their offense lacked any sort of sharpness, and the defense continually allowed IU to take open jump shots and uncontested layups.
As the Buckeyes slowly began to turn up the pressure defensively, often by virtue of doubling IU on the block, they were kept in the game by hot shooting beyond the arc. Ohio State hit its first five of seven from downtown, including two from JaQuan Lyle. After trailing by as many as 18, the Buckeyes scratched back to 11 with seven minutes left in the first half.
Due to poor shot-selection, OSU missed a handful of opportunities to cut the lead to single-digits, but were never able to break that barrier in the first half. However, Lyle turned in an impressive 15 points in the first half to lead the Buckeyes, keeping them with shouting distance for much of the half.
That being said, IU’s offense produced four first half, double-digit scorers; Robert Johnson (15), Thomas Bryant (14), Josh Newkirk (13), and James Blackmon Jr. (10). While Indiana’s hot early-shooting did regress to the mean, they did end the first half going 22-34 (64.7%) from the floor and 7-12 (58.3%) from three. Conversely, Ohio State was at 13-29 (44.8%) and 6-9 (66.7%).
Additionally, IU dominated the points in the paint 28-12, mostly on the strength of the Buckeye defense’s inability to guard driving Hoosiers one-on-one.
As the second half began, an IU turnover and an increased defensive effort from OSU, finally got the Buckeyes back within single-digits as Jackson hit a three-pointer about three minutes into the half. Indiana led 57-48, when OSU center Trevor Thompson imposed his will underneath the basket to complete an old-fashioned three-point play, cutting the lead to six. That possession was followed by a quick Johnson miss for IU and a Thompson jumper to cut the deficit to 57-53 before the under-16 timeout.
After the timeout, the Hoosiers came out in a 2-3 zone which slowed down the Buckeyes’ momentum. However, thanks to a handful of IU misses, the Buckeyes took their first lead of the game as Jackson hit his third triple of the game, putting the home-team up 62-61 with 10:58 remaining in regulation.
A minute later, Thompson picked up his third foul of the game, eventually leading to Matta subbing in freshman Micah Potter for the first time in the second half. Potter’s appearance was short-lived as after the next media timeout, Thompson returned and almost immediately picked up his fourth foul, sending him to the bench at 7:13.
While Thompson didn’t sit for long, Indiana was able to build a lead, and OSU trailed 86-80 with 1:17 remaining. With 46.4 remaining Newkirk traveled, giving the Buckeyes the chance to cut the lead to 89-85 on a Thompson basket.
Down the stretch, Jae’Sean Tate took over from an OSU offensive perspective. He finished the game with 20 points, the most for anyone in Scarlet and Gray.
The next time that the Ohio State basketball team returns to the hardwood, it will be at the Verizon Center in Washington D.C. on Wednesday as part of the Big Ten Tournament.
3 things we learned:
1. Ohio State will have to wait for their Big Ten Tournament first round opponent. By virtue of their regular season-ending defeat, the Buckeyes finish the conference slate with a 7-11 record. That currently ties them with Indiana for 10th in the conference. Since today’s game was the only matchup between the teams this season, IU holds the tie-breaker, meaning that Ohio State is the de facto 11th seed.
That means that with Illinois at 8-9, there is no longer any opportunity for the Buckeyes to escape the four-team first round of the conference tournament.
However, Penn State and Nebraska currently hold 6-11 records. Penn State visits Iowa on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. EST and Nebraska hosts Michigan at 8:00 p.m. EST. The results of those games will determine whether Ohio State plays No. 14 Rutgers, or PSU, Nebraska, or Indiana. No matter the opponent, Ohio State will play in the tournament’s first day on Wednesday.
2. This Ohio State basketball team is maddening to watch. I know this isn’t exactly something we “learned” today, but it was certainly reinforced against Indiana. Whether it is cohesion issues, style of play, team chemistry, coaching philosophy, or Mars now being perpetually in retrograde, this edition of the Ohio State basketball team has squandered a talented, well-balanced team.
Yes, the team has fallen victim to more one and two possession defeats than any squad (or fanbase) should have to endure, but frustrating levels of inconsistency has marred what could have been.
Today’s game is a perfect microcosm of the season. Indiana raced out to an 18-point lead while Ohio State seemingly sleep-walked through the majority of the first half. Then after half-time, Ohio State dominated the action, eventually taking a lead, before losing a close game. While the comeback was exciting, it leads fans to wonder what the season could have been had the Buckeyes been able to maximize their talent and potential from start to finish this season.
3. There are reasons to be optimistic about next season. Not to discount a potential B1G Tournament run, or even one in the NIT, if you are looking to get excited about Ohio State basketball, you might be best suited following the women’s team or looking to next year.
And, perhaps I am a glutton for punishment, but depending on if any Buckeyes leave early, there are reasons to be excited about the 2017-2018 Buckeye basketball team. If Tate, Thompson, and Kam Williams all come back, and Keita Bates-Diop returns from injury, that would give OSU one of the best senior classes in the country with rising junior Jackson having gotten a year of DI ball under his belt.
If the team is able to coalesce and build some consistency in the next season, they could finally live up to the expectations that Buckeye fans have for the squad.

If it weren’t for John Ross, Samuel would’ve had the whole spotlight.
Saturday’s NFL Combine featured the 40-yard dash for the wide-receiver group, always a marquee event for football fans salivating over the next crop of rookies in the league. Ohio State’s Curtis Samuel was one of the stars of the day, recording an insane 4.31 (unofficial) time in his first attempt at the 40.

Samuel’s near-historic outburst was likely a surprise to many, but not Ohio State fans, who got to see the talented H-back shred defenses all season.
His second attempt on the day wasn’t quite as impressive as the first, but that doesn’t really do it justice: he still clocked an unofficial 4.37 on the run.
Here's run No. 2 for Curtis Samuel... pic.twitter.com/z0WBvYXD65

Samuel was reportedly “unhappy” with the performance. He might not be human.
Curtis Samuel just ran a 4.37 and was disappointed. Your favorite team should draft Curtis Samuel.

Samuel’s runs could only be considered disappointing in light of Washington’s John Ross, who ran an unofficial (and eye-popping) 4.22 just before the Buckeye H-back.

Watch Ohio State football players put on dunk show
Brent Yarina, BTN.com Senior Editor via Big Ten Network

The 2017 Big Ten Wrestling Tournament gets under way at Assembly Hall in Bloomington in less than an hour.
Although Ohio State could have a number of champions and finalists, Penn State is the prohibitive favorite. Oddly enough, the Buckeyes will have a much better chance catching the Lions at the NCAA finals in 2 weeks in St. Louis.
Ohio State number 1 seeds include Nathan Tomasello at 133 (Nathan was a 125 pound National Champion in 2015), Bo Jordan at 174 (Bo has finished 3rd in the NCAA tournament each of the last 2 years, and Olympic gold medalist Kyle Snyder at 285.
Other Buckeyes with a reasonable shot at making the finals are 3rd seed Micah Jordan at 149, 4th seed and last year’s NCAA champion (at 174) Myles Martin at 184 and 2nd seeded freshman Kollin Moore at 197.
One of the eagerly awaited matches is a rematch of overpowering Bo Nickal of Penn State and Martin at 184. While Nickal pulled away from Martin in their only meeting this year, he lost to Martin in an explosively exciting match in last year’s NCAA title match at Madison Square Garden.
Look for us on twitter for instant updates!

No. 13 Ohio State hockey loses to Michigan State, 5-4

OSU allowed four goals in the first period, causing a furious comeback to fall just short.
Ohio State came into this weekend needing to likely sweep Michigan State to have any decently sized margin of error at Wisconsin and in the Big Ten Tournament to receive an at large bid to the NCAA Tournament. Whoops!
The Buckeyes at large bid hopes are now on thin ice (heh) as they fell to Michigan State, who improved to 7-21-3. Yes, that is their record and they went up 4-0 in the first period on a team with national aspirations. I’d, uh, forget about those for now.
OSU falls to 17-10-6, and more disturbingly, just 8-8-1-1 in the Big Ten, not exactly one of the titans of the nation. Penn State and Minnesota look like tournament teams, but Michigan and Michigan State have both frankly been horrible this year and should have provided enough wins for OSU to have a better record than that. Whoops again!
This one started out horribly and the Buckeyes would never tie it again after Michigan State went up. Between 6:44 and 17:29 of the first, Logan Lambdin, Thomas Ebbing, Cody Milan and Sam Saliba all scored for the Spartans and chased Christian Frey, who stopped just 11 of 15 shots on net. Matt Tomkins would come in and only allow one goal on 18 shots, but that one would prove to be the game winner.
Michigan State outshot Ohio State 15-9 in the first, showing who came out attacking and ready to use their talent to its offensive potential. As has been a problem all year for Ohio State, they played too conservatively and it caused them to get blitzkrieged right out of this one.
Stopping a few shots would’ve helped as well, of course, but Ohio State didn’t exactly help themselves out to start in front of Frey. Nick Schilkey scored his 25th, on the powerplay, just 2:15 into the second, but Lambdin scored again to make it 5-1 just 5:10 later to fire back. Kevin Miller and Mason Jobst then added two more Ohio State goals at 10:02 and 13:19, and suddenly OSU had life.
They still did not generate more shots than Michigan State in the second, with both teams at 11 each, and then, even in desperation, only outshot MSU 10-7 in the third down two goals. Remarkably, despite being down four goals not even a period into the game, the No. 13 team in the country (for now, at least) was outshot for the entire game by a team that came in 6-21. That’s unacceptable and just not a modern way of playing hockey.
Any statistic you look at shows you your goal differential increases as you generate more shots and attack, and focus on offense. Ohio State has not exactly embraced that despite being the exact kind of team that should. They have shaky goaltending and defense, but fantastic forwards and scoring in general. They should be playing to that strength, but they don’t. Who knows why, but they don’t.
David Gust would score to make it a one goal game in the third, at 15:43, on the powerplay, but that’d be all OSU would get.
Nick Schilkey has 25 goals and Mason Jobst is the first Buckeye with 30 assists since 2005, but it’ll all be for naught if they don’t pick up the slack and beat a team on Saturday that they should have already beaten once this weekend. If they lose tomorrow, on Senior Night, to Michigan State again, you can kiss any hope of an at large NCAA bid good bye if you aren’t already.

The Buckeyes host the Hoosiers in the Big Ten regular season finale looking for their third straight win.
It’s been a long, hard slog this season for the Ohio State men’s basketball team, and mercifully for many fans of the scarlet and gray, the regular season will come to an end on Saturday afternoon when the Buckeyes host Indiana.
Ohio State currently sits at 7-10 in Big Ten play, which during the Thad Matta era is a mark that rings with disappointment. Still, as we here at Land-Grant Holy Land have been beating the drum about for a few weeks now, the Buckeyes are not without incentives to finish out the season strong.
For one thing, a win over the Hoosiers would guarantee the team a first round bye in next week’s conference tournament in Washington D.C. For another, Ohio State has an opportunity to put together a winning streak longer than two games for the first time since starting the season 6-0. And finally, since nothing short of a Big Ten tournament championship is getting them into the NCAA tournament, there is NIT seeding, where NYCBuckets currently has the Buckeyes a No. 2 seed.
There is also the small matter of giving Marc Loving a senior day send-off as he concludes one of the strangest, most meandering career arcs in program history this side of Amir Williams.
Senior Day this Saturday for @lovingthegame32 - here are some of his thoughts on being a Buckeye #GoBucks pic.twitter.com/a2Xi6V5mjU
— OSU BASKETBALL (@OhioStateHoops) March 2, 2017
In all fairness to Loving, he has been a gamer in Columbus, and Saturday’s appearance will move him into the program’s top ten in games played. The Toledo St. John product is also one of 27 players to notch 1,000 career points and 500 career rebounds, and in the Penn State game last time out passed Jamar Butler and Aaron Craft on the school’s scoring list.
Loving has also scored in double figures in each of the past five games, and has seen his scoring average jump to 13.2 per game in conference play, along with an increase to 41.5 percent shooting from the three-point line.
In a classy move by Ohio State, Loving, along with senior team managers Beau Beechler, Cameron Harris, and Brian Lamb, will be recognized before tip-off.
Befitting this year’s Buckeye squad, this final regular season game will be rife with storylines. Loving and his teammates still have much to play for, and heading into the Big Ten tourney with a little momentum could be just the boost they need to erase some of the drama that has unfolded since November.
Numbers to know
13.8
Ohio State boasts four players who average double figure scoring, with the high man being Jae’Sean Tate and his 13.8 per night. In only three games this season has Tate failed to score at least 10, and he’s currently riding a streak of double-doubles in two of his last three games.
His game-winning streaking layup as time wound down on Tuesday night against Penn State was just another example of the Pickerington native’s national treasure-ness. The Buckeyes’ chances for beating the Hoosiers on Saturday will be greatly improved if Tate can continue his strong play.
460
Much has been made, and rightfully so, about Ohio State’s ball security issues this season. The Buckeyes rank 194th in the country (out of 347) with 399 miscues. But that figure pales in comparison to what Indiana has done. Head coach Tom Crean has seen his crew turn it over an astounding 460 times, which is 322nd in Division I, and could help explain how they have dropped six of their last seven games.
17 & 4
Sophomore JaQuan Lyle has seen a reduction in minutes of late due to some injury issues, trouble with turnovers, and the improved play of C.J. Jackson, but in the past two games he has been a critical part of Ohio State’s wins. In both the upset victory over Wisconsin and the escape against Penn State, Lyle gave the Buckeyes 17 points and four assists, and committed a total of three miscues. He’s also an Indiana native, so seeing his in-state school should provide a little extra incentive to keep the good play going.
Cast of characters
Ohio State
Marc Loving
This preview has had a lot about Ohio State’s lone senior, so let’s keep it going. Loving has been playing possibly the best basketball of his career down the stretch for the Buckeyes this season, scoring in double figures in eight of his last 10 games heading into Saturday. The improvement has been beneficial, as he is sixth in the Big Ten in minutes played, and he’s finally making those minutes count. This is his last regular season chance to make a positive impression in scarlet and gray, and Ohio State needs the same high-level he’s shown the past month to pull off the win.
Trevor Thompson
Thompson has been in a little bit of a slump numbers-wise the past handful of games, yet still ranks second in the Big Ten in rebounding and nearly averages a double-double. After a string of seven games in which he notched five double-doubles and narrowly missed a sixth, the redshirt junior has scored in double figures only twice in the last four times out, and hasn’t grabbed more than eight rebounds. For the Buckeyes to win the day, Thompson must control the paint.
Indiana
James Blackmon, Jr.
After soaring as high as No. 3 in the national polls early in the season, Indiana’s 16-14 record and 6-11 mark in conference play are especially disappointing. Those struggles cannot be pinned on Blackmon, however, who has come back from knee surgery a season ago to lead the Hoosiers and rank sixth in the Big Ten with 16.8 points per game. The Marion, Indiana native also leads the conference in three-point field goals made, so closing out on him at the arc will be a priority.
Thomas Bryant
Bryant tested the NBA draft waters a year ago after averaging 11 points and nine rebounds a game as a freshman, but hasn’t seen a terribly dramatic uptick in his numbers as a sophomore. The 6-foot-10 Bryant gives Crean 12.8 points and seven boards a night, but after a 31-point outburst against the Nittany Lions to begin February, hasn’t hit that scoring average in six of his seven games.

Ohio State-Campbell 2017 final score: Buckeye baseball falls 7-2 to the Camels

The Buckeyes were held to just two hits as they fell to 3-6 on the season.
The rough start to the season for Ohio State baseball continued on Friday night in Buies Creek, North Carolina, as the squad lost to Campbell by a score of 7-2. The defeat drops the Buckeyes to 3-6 on the season and marked the sixth time the club scored two runs or fewer.
The Camels pounded out 11 hits, including six that went for extra bases.
In what’s become a bit of an early season theme, Ohio State’s offense was sluggish. The Buckeyes managed just two hits in the game, though they did work 10 walks, and went just 1-for-14 with runners on base.
The one bright spot was a two-run home run by Tyler Cowles in the fifth, his first as a member of the scarlet and gray.
Starter Adam Niemeyer had his issues, lasting just four innings for the second consecutive outing. The redshirt junior right-hander yielded four runs on eight hits, striking out one and hitting a pair of batters. Five of the Camels’ hits off Neimeyer went for extra bases.
Niemeyer got knocked around a bit in the first, but managed to limit the damage to a single run. Drew Butler led off with a double to left-center, but was picked off at second base. Adam Wyse and Cole Hallum followed with a single and a double, respectively, to put two runners in scoring position with one out. Niemeyer got fly outs to center by both Jimmy Monaghan and Jeff Hahs, but the first brought Wyse home with the game’s first run.
Wyse and Hallum went to work again in the bottom of the third, as Campbell pushed its advantage out to 3-0. Wyse was hit by a pitch to lead things off and Hallum smashed his second double in as many at-bats. Two batters later Hahs singled back up the middle to plate both.
Meanwhile, Winans was keeping the Buckeye bats in check, but ran into trouble in the fourth. After walking Jalen Washington and hitting Noah McGowan with a pitch, he sat at 59 pitches and head coach Justin Haire made a change. Winans is coming back from an injury that cost him 2016, so it was likely just some early-season caution.
Tyson Messer relieved, and on his first pitch, Ohio State attempted a double steal. Washington got into third, but McGowan was thrown out at second. Messer then struck out Zach Ratcliff and Bo Coolen to escape the jam.
The Camels added another run in the fourth, taking a 4-0 lead. Christian Jones sent a fly ball deep to center field with one down, and Tre’Gantt got turned around, allowing the ball to sail over his glove. Jones kept running until he was standing on third, and came home on a Bryce Myers groundout.
The Buckeyes finally got on the board in the top of the fifth. Brady Cherry worked a walk against Messer and Cowles hit a 1-0 pitch over the wall in left field to cut the deficit to 4-2.
Messer would eventually walk the bases loaded in the frame, but with two outs, Ratcliff went down swinging to end the threat.
Reece Calvert relieved Niemeyer in the fifth, and the big righty was fighting his command from the very beginning. He allowed a hit and four walks in an inning plus, and departed with two on and nobody out in the bottom of the sixth. Redshirt junior Kyle Michalik came on at that point, and after a bunt single, the bases were loaded.
Michalik got a popup on the infield from Trenton Davis, but then hit Callum with a pitch to force home Campbell’s fifth run of the night, and Monaghan sent a sacrifice fly to center for the sixth. It appeared that would be the extent of it when Hahs sent a chopper to third, but Cherry fumbled the ball and Butler came home to make it a 7-2 ballgame. After an infield single loaded the bases again, Michalik’s day was done.
Sophomore lefty Connor Curlis was the third pitcher of the inning, and on his first pitch he got a flyout to center to end the inning.
In the seventh, Messer walked Shea Murray and Gantt to put two on with nobody out, the eighth and ninth free passes of the night for Ohio State, and the Camels went to Wyatt Tyson out of the bullpen. The freshman right-hander got pop outs from Washington and McGowan to get out of the inning. There were no other problems from there for Campbell.
Curlis was just what head coach Greg Beals and pitching coach Mike Stafford needed in this one, tossing 2.1 scoreless innings and saving the rest of the bullpen. The Findlay, Ohio native didn’t allow a hit, striking out three and walking one.
Game two of the three-game weekend series is scheduled for 3:00 p.m. ET on Saturday. The game will be streaming live on the Big South Network, and Jake Post will take the mound for the Buckeyes.
