Buckeyes’ men’s basketball Big Ten title odds remain unchanged despite winning ways Connor Lemons via our friends at Land-Grant Holy Land

Ohio State has the fifth-best odds to win the Big Ten according to DraftKings Sportsbook.
Despite winning four of their last five games, out-rebounding a conference foe by 26, and whooping arguably the worst team in Division-I basketball by 46 points, Ohio State’s Big Ten title odds remain unchanged from the beginning of January according to our friends at DraftKings Sportsbook. The No. 16 Buckeyes (13-4, 6-2) have +600 odds to win their first B1G title in a decade, behind No. 24 Illinois (+230, up from +500), No. 6 Purdue (+300, down from +160), No. 11 Wisconsin (+400), and No. 10 Michigan State (+450).
Despite losing two of their last three games, Illinois has become the odds-on favorite to win the conference, with Purdue close behind them. After not generating much interest in the beginning of the season, people are now coming around on Wisconsin and Michigan State as well.
But while the Buckeyes’ Big Ten title odds have not changed, their Final Four odds have dipped a bit, going from +800 at the beginning of the month to +1000 now. They have the 18th-best odds to make it to New Orleans, just behind Wisconsin at +900 and in front of No. 19 LSU at +1100. No. 18 Tennessee has identical odds as the Buckeyes to make a Final Four run. No. 2 Gonzaga (+115), No. 9 Duke (+200), No. 4 Baylor (+220), No. 5 Kansas (+220), and Purdue (+220) — despite not having the best odds to win the Big Ten — have the best odds to make the Final Four right now, according to Vegas.
No. 16 Ohio State’s next game is Sunday at noon against No. 6 Purdue (17-3, 6-3) in Mackey Arena. The game will be broadcast on CBS. With a win, Ohio State will keep pace with Illinois and Michigan State at the top of the B1G. A Purdue loss could put their B1G title hopes on life support with 10 games still to play.
Ohio State wrestling has dropped two of their last three Big Ten matches, but the team is still well-positioned to make noise in the postseason Josh Dooley via our friends at Land-Grant Holy Land

Malik Heinselman celebrates his victory over Drake Ayala of Iowa | Ohiostatebuckeyes.com
Despite losses against TTUN and Iowa, the Buckeyes look to have righted the ship after a tough 2020-21 season.
After a 5-0 start, the Ohio State wrestling team has fallen back down to Earth. They were defeated soundly by TTUN, and fell short in a closer-than-expected match to the Iowa Hawkeyes. The team rebounded by wiping the literal mat with Maryland (39-4), and are now off until Feb. 4, when they face top-ranked Penn State. The Nittany Lions recently destroyed TTUN, which does not bode well for Tom Ryan’s team — the Buckeyes lost to the Wolverines 29-8. But dropping a few matches in the uber-competitive Big Ten is no surprise, and after a rough (for OSU) 2020-21 campaign, Ryan’s grapplers have Ohio State squarely back in the national conversation.
The Buckeyes were humbled by TTUN on Jan. 14. The Wolverines came in to the Covelli Center undefeated, and dominated from beginning to end. Sammy Sasso (149) and Carson Kharchla (165) were the only victors in an otherwise underwhelming performance. One week later - again in a packed Covelli Center - Ohio State tasted defeat once more... but this time, the Buckeyes gave Iowa all they could handle, and dropped a close one 21-12. The final score was not indicative of how close the match really was. OSU only trailed 14-12 upon completion of the 184 match. The Hawkeyes then added a decision and a major decision to close it out at the heaviest weight classes. TTUN and Iowa were ranked No. 3 and No. 2 respectively, and have since flip-flopped in the national rankings.
Losing two straight home duals is never a good thing, but in this case: it’s also not a bad thing! TTUN and Iowa are two of best teams in the country. The best team in the country is Ohio State’s next opponent, Penn State. Such is life in the Big Ten. Half of the top-10 nationally is made up of teams from the Big Ten, and it’s nothing new. “New” is Tom Ryan’s Buckeyes finishing outside of the top-3. Ryan has built a dynasty of sorts, and this season was an opportunity to reclaim their place among the elites. Despite two (and possibly three out of four) recent losses, the team has done exactly that.
Driving Ohio State’s success and a few of the main reasons for optimism, are veterans Sasso, Malik Henselman, and Kaleb Romero — along with redshirt freshman (and a finally healthy) Kharchla. The three vets have collectively qualified for seven NCAA Championships, and Kharchla showed a ton of promise as a high school wrestler and during his unattached season with OSU. Since recovering from a knee injury that caused him to miss all of last year, he has helped form a fearsome foursome... read that again, three times fast.
Each wrestler mentioned above is ranked inside the top-10 at their weight class, with Sasso coming in as the highest (No. 2 at 149). He is a real national title contender, and it appears as if Kharchla might join him. Kharchla took down Iowa’s Alex Marinelli, who was ranked No. 1 at the time. Ohio State’s redshirt freshman currently sits at #4. Joining those four in the top-10 is Ethan Smith (No. 7 at 174), despite having four losses. Smith is a three-time NCAA qualifier himself, so he knows what it takes to get back there. All five of these wrestlers have at least a chance of winning an individual championship, whether it be in the Big Ten or NCAA’s.
Ohio State will, in all likelihood, finish the regular season fourth in their own conference. However, depending on how things shake out, they could very well make some noise in the big tournaments. The Big Ten and NCAA Championships are much different than the traditional duals. The Buckeyes will not be head-to-head with one team. Their best wrestlers will have an opportunity to survive and advance, and OSU has top-10 representation in half of the weight classes — a number similar to that of the three Big Ten teams ranked above them. Anything can happen in tournament-style competition, and Coach Ryan has often pushed his guys to peak in February and March.
Although the team has collectively hit a bit of a skid, the close loss against Iowa was promising, and the guys at the “top” of the roster are performing well. Sasso is a monster, Kharchla is a future star, and Romero and others are proven vets looking to finish out their career(s) strong. Don’t be surprised if the Buckeyes give Penn State problems next week, and keep an eye on this team as the season inches towards one of the most exciting tournaments in college sports.
You’re Nuts: Who will be Ohio State men’s basketball’s next 1,000-point scorer? Connor Lemons via our friends at Land-Grant Holy Land
Visit their fantastic blog and read the full article (and so much more) here
Joseph Maiorana-USA TODAY Sports
E.J. Liddell became the 60th member of the 1k club last night. Who will be number 61?
Our “Nuts” this week are of the celebratory variety, as our very good, quite large basketball son E.J. Liddell hit the 1,000-point plateau last evening during Ohio State’s 75-64 victory over the Minnesota Golden Gophers at the Barn. Liddell scored 23 points and grabbed a career-high 15 rebounds to help power the Buckeyes to their first win in Minneapolis in seven years.
It was also a milestone victory for Chris Holtmann, who became the third-quickest coach in Ohio State history to reach the 100 victory mark (in 147 games). The two who got to 100 quicker are Ohio State legends Thad Matta and Fred Taylor.
More on milestones in a moment. But first, a recap.
Last week, we each picked our favorite Liddell game to this point in his career. Connor picked his career-high 34 points against Northwestern a few weeks ago. Justin picked his 26-point performance to beat Illinois in Champaign during the 2020-21 season. With 57% of the vote, the people sided with Justin while 36% of the people agreed with Connor, and the remaining 7% said it was a different game.
With Justin’s victory, here are our standings:
After 36 weeks:
Connor- 18 Justin- 11 Other- 5
(There have been two ties)
This week, we are taking a guess at who will be the next Ohio State men’s basketball player to hit 1,000 points. The Buckeyes have some older players on this team, several of whom have already surpassed the 1,000 point mark when you combine their points on both teams they’ve played for. None of those players count. We’re specifically looking at players who haven’t gotten to 1k yet — and both current players and future players are options.
Today’s Question: Who is Ohio State’s next 1,000-point scorer?
The mathematically correct answer to this question is our good friend Zed Key and I’m not anti-math, anti-science, and certainly not anti-Zed. Right now Ohio State’s finger gun-shooting, roof-raising boulder is sitting at 322 career points, and is averaging just under 10 points per game as a sophomore starter.
For a team that makes the NCAA Tournament, the college basketball season typically runs roughly 30-35 games. Let’s predict this conservatively: let’s say Zed only averages 10 points each of the next two seasons — completely removing the possibility that he scores more than 10 ppg as a junior or senior, which seems unlikely. If he averages 10 ppg for 60 games, that is 600 additional points, putting him at 922. That leaves him 78 points short.

However, there are still 11 games left in the regular season — plus at least one B1G tournament game and one NCAA Tournament game. That means that Key would need to average six points per game the rest of this season to assure that he joins the 1,000-point club. It really is that easy.
Now, the big variable for if Key hits 1,000 will be playing time. With Felix Okpara joining the team next year, Key may get pushed for minutes a bit. But even with Okpara around, I don’t expect Zed to get pushed from the starting lineup — I actually think he’ll be even more productive next season. During Key’s senior year, he and Okpara will likely tangle for minutes — assuming both are still on the team — but the Buckeyes’ front court is going to be pretty bare starting next season. As long as Key stays at Ohio State for four seasons and doesn’t have any longterm injuries, I think that he clears 1,000 points fairly easily.
Kyle Young was another option, but at 786 points he would need to average essentially 18 points per game for the rest of the season to make it — assuming only one Big Ten Tournament game and one NCAA Tournament game. Unfortunately, I don’t think he’s going to make it. I do think that at least one of the incoming freshmen will make it (Brice Sensabaugh, Bruce Thornton, or Roddy Gayle), but that will be after Key does it.
Justin: Bruce Thornton
Caitlyn Jordan/Naples Daily News/USA Today Network-Florida / USA TODAY NETWORK
Scoring 1,000 points is no easy task. Only 60 players in Ohio State history have done it and the list is full of superstars. There are three things that I think you have to have to get 1,000 points: The first is you have to be confident. Everyone will go through scoring slumps, but the guys that don’t let it get to them and stay aggressive are the ones that break out of it.
The second thing is minutes. You have to be on the floor in order to score. So guys who come in and play immediately as a freshman obviously have a huge advantage to get to 1,000. And the third thing is you have to be a three-level scorer. The guys that get to 1,000 are all guys who can drive, create their own shot and shoot the deep ball; because they are so versatile on offense they are really hard to stop, hence they score more.
That being said, I am picking Bruce Thornton. I almost picked Malaki Branham, but I think he will leave for the draft after his sophomore season and 1,000 points in just two seasons would be a pretty huge accomplishment, so I am going with Thornton who I think will be at least a three-year guy.
Thornton is the top recruit in the Buckeyes’ 2022 recruiting class and will be with the squad next season. He is currently ranked as the No. 48 recruit in the class and the No. 8 point guard.
He also matches my criteria for a 1,000 point scorer. Thornton is a guy who will come in and play at the point guard position with Meechie Johnson as Jamari Wheeler and Jimmy Sotos are on their way out.
Thornton is a killer and will have no trouble with confidence as he steps up into the next level. He just recently won the Father John Savage Award at the Bass Pro Shop Tournament of Champions, which awards a player’s spirit and competitiveness.

The guys are back and having a much needed conversations about the recent sports news.
On today’s episode of “Buck Off with Christopher Renne,” I am joined, as always, by Jordan Williams for the third episode of Ohio State’s offseason and we are feeling the offseason blues hard.
We begin the show by talking about our least favorite offseason topics and why we hate how people grade coaching staff hires in January. We also discuss the importance of assistant coaches and why there are more important things than names.
Then we keep on complaining because we have problems with the Hall of Fames of major sports league and some issues about the college football Hall of fames. Major League baseball is the vehicle, but we still talk about Ohio State in this segment.
After the break, we get into the B1G’s plan to move away from dvisions. We talk about how it might work and why it’s beneficial for everybody involved. We move forward and discuss the NIL dominance by Ohio State and ponder why anyone ever had problem with this. We talk about some of the deals that were exciting to see and what cars we’d want from a local auto dealer.
Our final discussion is about some of the final recruiting takeaways as the composite ranking gets finalized. We talk about Devin Brown’s number one ranking and some of the exciting factors of this class.

I’m lost for words man. Wouldn’t be able to do this without everyone who has been apart of this program in my 3 years here. Not done yet tho… #GoBuckshttps://t.co/PAwggRGQ97
The top-tier teams in the Big Ten have all beaten Minnesota this season, although it’s to the Gophers’ credit that none of their five losses have come against subpar competition. If Ohio State wants to count itself among the top teams in the league, it should be able to take care of business Thursday, despite their potentially short-handed backcourt and recent road record at Minnesota.
A.J. Ferrari accident: Oklahoma State football OC Kasey Dunn reportedly saved wrestler from burning car
Oklahoma State wrestling national champion A.J. Ferrari was involved in a car crash Monday night. During the incident, in which Ferrari reportedly was with fellow Cowboys athlete and cross country All-American Isai Rodriguez, Ferrari attempted to pass three vehicles but collided head on with another driver. Assisting in the rescue was Oklahoma State football offensive coordinator Kasey Dunn, who was coincidentally in a passing car, according to a report by ESPN.
Due to Dunn’s assistance, Ferrari was pulled to safety. Ferrari’s car, a 2019 Dodge Durango, caught fire and Dunn was able to pull the wrestler to safety. Ferrari and Rodriguez were transported to the hospital to treat non-life threatening injuries.
“The source said Dunn was unable to open the driver's door to get Ferrari out, but he was able to pull Ferrari out of a window after the glass had shattered in the crash,” ESPN reported.
Ferrari’s father, A.J. Ferrari Sr., also wrote in a Facebook post updating his son’s condition. He said that the national champion wrestler had no broken bones.
"He has fluid in his lungs that is affecting his oxygen levels and some bad bruising with some internal bleeding, so they are keeping him here," the elder Ferrari wrote. "If you saw the car and AJ, you would know this was a miracle."
