The Buckeyes were superior in every facet of the game as they scored a season-high.

Ohio State women’s basketball is now the proud owner of a four-game winning streak after cruising to a 118-61 victory over Alabama State on Friday night at Value City Arena in Columbus. The Buckeyes, ranked No. 12 in the country, now stand 9-3 on the season.

The Buckeyes had their full complement of players for the first time all season, as Linnae Harper, a transfer from Kentucky, made her debut in scarlet and gray. Stephanie Mavunga, who had missed the previous four games due to injury, was also back in the fold.

Kelsey Mitchell, who entered the night fifth in the nation in scoring, scored 15 points, one of seven Ohio State players in double figures. Mavunga had game-highs with 23 points and 13 rebounds, while Harper, Tori McCoy, Shayla Cooper, Kiara Lewis, and Sierra Calhoun all had at least 10.

The Hornets, conversely, had just two players in double figures, Danielle Clark and Daniele Ewert who each had 12. ASU shot a dismal 30 percent as a team and turned the ball over 31 times.

It was Calhoun who had the hot hand early, scoring seven points in the game’s first few minutes. Alabama State started just 2-for-10 from the floor, leading to a 12-5 Ohio State lead at the midpoint of the first quarter.

The Hornets, who fell to 1-7 on the year, turned the ball over 12 times in the opening frame, which the Buckeyes capitalized on to the tune of 18 points, en route to a 32-12 lead. Mitchell shot just 1-for-6 from the field in the quarter, but Harper filled the void alongside Calhoun with seven points.

The second quarter was more of the same, as Mitchell and McCoy, the reigning national freshman of the week, started heating up. McCoy had seven quick points in the period, and Mitchell put up 12 of her half-high 15, as every Ohio State player that attempted a field goal made one. Mavunga turned in 12 points and 10 rebounds, while Harper added 11 points as the team took a 70-27 lead to halftime.

Alabama State turned the ball over 22 times in the game’s first twenty minutes, which the Buckeyes cashed in for 34 points. Ohio State shot 56 percent from the floor, including a solid 8-for-19 from three-point range.

The nightmare didn’t end for the Hornets after halftime, as a 4-for-21 shooting performance in the third quarter helped the Buckeyes’ lead balloon to 96-40. Ohio State began to enforce its will in the paint, with Mavunga, McCoy, and Cooper all getting what they wanted inside.

The Buckeyes pushed out to their largest point total of the season, eclipsing the 113 they put up against LIU-Brooklyn before Thanksgiving.

This game was Ohio State’s final tuneup before hitting the road to take on Connecticut, the top-ranked team in the country, on Monday night in Storrs. The clash with the Huskies, who handed the Buckeyes a 100-56 loss a season ago in Columbus, will tip off at 7 p.m. ET, and will be televised live on CBS Sports Network.

LGHL D’Angelo Russell explains his ‘ice in the veins’ celebration

D’Angelo Russell explains his ‘ice in the veins’ celebration

usa_today_9667863.0.jpeg

The former Buckeye star’s father is to thank.

“[My dad] always said you have to be prepared for big moments, you gotta have ice in your veins. You have to have no feelings. You have to go out there and play your hardest and do what you do.”

– D’Angelo Russell to GQ’s Alex Wong on where the ‘Ice Water’ celebration came from


Since departing the Ohio State Buckeyes, D’Angelo Russell has become one of young, rising stars of the Los Angeles Lakers in the post-Kobe phase. Getting ready for the limelight wasn’t something Russell had to get used to; he was prepared for it.

In an article with GQ, Russell talked about the origins of his ‘ice in the veins’. The celebration took off after a 39-point outing in his rookie season, tying Elgin Baylor’s record for most points in a single game scored by a rookie.


After popping one his numerous shots, Russell came down the floor pointing to his veins. That video went viral, and a new celebration was formed. Russell credits his father for making him prepared for the big moments – and saying that young Russell needed to have ice in his veins. The preparedness payed off, as Russell surged onto the college basketball scene and quickly became one of the top picks in the 2015 NBA Draft.

Alex Wong’s article also touched on several other topics, including the first time Russell used the ‘ice in the veins’ celebration and life as a Laker.

“The 12 plays that shaped college football’s entire 2016 season... Week 13: Ohio State gets the Spot Heard ‘Round the World”

– Alex Kirshner, SB Nation


We have hit the point in time where the regular season of college football has been completed and the bowl games are beginning to kickoff. That doesn’t stop us from looking back at the many plays (and players) that shaped the 2016 college football season.

Alex Kirshner of SB Nation broke down his list – and a couple plays involved the Buckeyes. The first of the plays – I’m going to start with the bad one first, so bear with me – involves the special teams fiasco the Buckeyes had in State College, Penn. against Penn State in Week 8. A blocked field goal that was returned to the house gave Nittany Lions’ coach James Franklin his first signature win in Happy Valley, and propelled the PSU dream to claiming a Big Ten championship into reality – all of this while throwing writers, office water cooler talks and sports radio shows into a frenzy of determining ways the Big Ten East would be figured out.

The second of the moments are a lot better for Buckeye Nation: The Week 13 4th-and-1 gamble against Michigan. Still, there are arguments on whether or not the spot was right (actually, it was good), which later led to Ohio State running the ball into the endzone to punctuate another win against The School Up North and cementing themselves into the College Football Playoff.

"We kind of hit it right because a lot of those kids were ready to play when they got here,"

–Urban Meyer, as reported by Jim Naveau, The Lima News


Keeping things in the OSU football world, the rebound from the Penn State loss and the subsequent running of the table was something that seemed improbable. Just think about it: a huge group of underclassmen went through a schedule that included Oklahoma, Penn State, Wisconsin, Michigan and Michigan State, and finished the season with an 11-1 record.

While some of the student-athletes carried an underclassman tag, they played like veterans. Jim Naveau’s article details how Chris Worley, Sam Hubbard and Malik Hooker stepped up on the big stage, made big plays and played a part in Ohio State’s journey to their second CFP appearance.

Naveau reported that Meyer thought “next year’s the year,” however, here the Buckeyes are, just two wins away from another national championship. Even though the Buckeyes lost a handful of underclassmen last year to the NFL Draft, they reloaded (not rebuilded) into a playoff contender.

Just like in the D’Angelo piece above, being prepared has its positive consequences. Just like on the football field, preparedness has put the Buckeyes into the championship hunt in December.

The Buckeyes have a 50 percent chance of bringing home the award.

Ohio State in just over two weeks away from arguably their biggest game of the season when they take on the Clemson Tigers in the PlayStation Fiesta Bowl on New Year’s Eve. With the entire program preparing for Clemson, the staff has had ample time for recruiting, but with the dead period nearing a week underway, Ohio State knows they’re controlling their own destiny for not only a national championship, but a recruiting national championship as well.

OSU commits receive US Army All-American Awards


If we’ve learned anything about the current commits in Ohio State’s 2017 recruiting class, it’s that each of them are not only deserving of a national honor, but most if not all are receiving national honors and awards.

The latest on the list of postseason awards, the US Army All-American defensive player of the year award has three current Ohio State commits as nominees for this prestigious honor. Baron Browning, Shaun Wade and Chase Young are all up for the award – giving Ohio State a 50 percent shot at keeping the award in their 2017 class.

The defensive recruiting class for the Buckeyes in 2017 is off the charts talent wise. With the star-power that is being brought to Columbus, the future of the Silver Bullets looks bright.

OSU DB commits shining


In keeping with trend, not only were Buckeye commits up for the US Army All-American defensive player of the year, but more OSU commits were nominated for a subset of the award as defensive back of the year.

The nominations on the Ohio State side of things include five-star cornerback commit, Shaun Wade. However, Ohio State target, Darnay Holmes is also a nominee for defensive back of the year.

— Tyler Donohue (@TDsTake) December 15, 2016

Lately, Holmes has been seriously trending towards Ohio State, as 247sports crystal ball predictions seem to be coming in every day that passes in favor of the Buckeyes. With his commitment date coming on Jan. 7 at the U.S. Army All-American game, Ohio State will know their fortune on the Holmes saga, but as things currently stand, Darnay to the Buckeyes is a very real thing.

Colorado star high on Bucks


Colorado isn’t normally a state the Buckeyes have had historical success in recruiting wise, but that could change in the near future. Adrian Jackson, a top Colorado prospect in the 2018 class, currently has Ohio State at the top of his list of schools.

Jackson, an outside linebacker from Denver currently ranks as the seventh best at his position and the top overall prospect in his home state. The four-star has nine offers already from the likes of Penn State, Colorado, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio State and more.

While the offer list is already impressive, look for more of the nation’s top programs to throw their hats into the ring and become players for his services. There’s plenty of time before Jackson needs to come close to a decision, but the Buckeyes certainly look to be sitting well.
