Thad’s springboard to #OhioState. Nearly upset Duke in Elite Eight.

DOWN GOES MIAMI

I was surprised Amare Bynum wasn’t voted to #B1G all-freshman team. Looks like he was, too.

Clark Kellogg stays in the game Go backstage with the hoops great, whose second act as one of basketball’s most trusted broadcasters shines with purpose.

Spent quite a bit of time with Clark Kellogg in recent months, which is always enjoyable and good for the soul. Wrote this cover story about him for the Ohio State Alumni Magazine:

Arguably Ohio State’s best all-around defensive effort of the season, not only sealing interior but giving Purdue minimal second chances by rebounding most misses. Buckeyes 23-8 advantage on Purdue’s glass.

Iowa has Buckeyes in a spin cycle with its pick-and-roll offense and ball movement. They can’t guard it.

Jeff Monken interested in moving Army-Navy game to Thanksgiving weekend The Army-Navy game has been played on the second Saturday of December since 2009 to stand apart from conference championship games.

One of the obstacles to moving the CFP up is Army-Navy being protected the Saturday after conference championship weekend.

Army coach Jeff Monken wants to remove that obstacle, and move Army-Navy game to Thanksgiving weekend:

Team USA Honored Johnny Gaudreau’s Memory by Making Him an Olympic Champion The NHL veteran was killed by an alleged drunk driver in 2024. With his family in Milan, his former U.S. teammates dedicated their gold medal to him.

Column: Guy Gaudreau and his family dried their eyes, sang the anthem and then watched Johnny Hockey’s kids take the ice for the team picture.

“He grew up with all these guys. He’s probably here with them right now in spirit, right?”

Didn’t happen. Good try, though. Royal’s absence hurt. Sparty bigs made the difference down the stretch. So did missed free throws. Thornton is superhuman but can do only so much.

Ohio State’s defense has improved noticeably last few games. Key today will be to finish more possessions with rebounds.

NIL deals with Quikrete.

Ohio State has its two bigs in the game and is still giving Sparty second chances. 🤦‍♂️

If he needs new teeth, one of them has to be gold.

Two teeth, one goal, Jack Hughes hat trick.

I did not (may have had Gus on mute). I would be interested in seeing a chart of NIL budgets, both B1G and nationally. I’m aware Bjork opted not to enter the Dusty May sweepstakes, and why (football arms race). I’m not aware of Mich’s portal budget vs OSU’s the past two seasons.

Check 1997-98 season, my first on the beat. Finished 8-22 and, I think, 1-15 in the Big Ten.

Another close one but no cigar for #Buckeyes vs UVa. Saw Ross Bjork behind the bench. Might he have been scouting Ryan Odom?

Bruce Thornton may open his own bar in Nashville after tonight. #buckeyes
