Ohio State men’s hockey falls to No. 1 Minnesota, 5-1
When you face off against the best team in the country, there’s no room for error. The Ohio State men’s hockey team (15-12-4, 5-8-4) found that out first-hand on Friday night as they fell 5-1 to No. 1 Minnesota (24-4-5, 13-2-2) at Value City Arena. The Gophers took the lead just 2:03 into the first period, and they were two goals up by the first intermission. OSU coach Steve Rohlik said he thought the team played a solid first period, but that falling behind made it hard for the team to continue to play its game, rather than press for an immediate response. “You never want to get behind, especially… Read more
Aaron Craft, Lenzelle Smith Jr. prepare for final home game as Ohio State Buckeyes
Being in the same recruiting class with the likes of Deshaun Thomas and Jared Sullinger, Ohio State senior guards Aaron Craft and Lenzelle Smith Jr. might have been a bit overshadowed initially among Buckeye fans. Thomas and Sullinger — both five-star products out of high school — were big pieces of the OSU squads who made trips to the Final Four and Elite Eight in back-to-back seasons. But they’ve since moved on to play professionally, and even though Craft and Smith Jr. might have been second-tier then — they’ve certainly left their mark on the program. “Both guys, you look at how many games they’ve won here, championships they’ve been… Read more

OSU coach Kevin McGuff said post-game that he was pleased with the energy his team came… Read more
Former Ohio State running back Jaamal Berry attends Pro Day, unable to compete
Former Ohio State running back Jaamal Berry had it in his head that he was going to be able to showcase his talents for NFL scouts and general managers at OSU’s Pro Day Friday. But then Berry said he was told he couldn’t, because of an NFL rule that was “new” to him. “I guess it’s a rule that I could only do it in my hometown, like a hometown state school or school I was just attending,” Berry said. That school was Murray State in Murray, Ky., where Berry transferred to prior to the 2012 season. He was suspended from the OSU football team Nov. 2, 2011, after his… Read more
Former Buckeyes work to impress NFL scouts, general managers at Ohio State football Pro Day
For 16 former Ohio State football players, a lifelong dream is one step closer. OSU held its Pro Day at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center Friday, as a last chance for some players to show NFL scouts that they deserved to be selected in the upcoming NFL Draft. For wide receiver Corey “Philly” Brown it was a surreal experience, having spent years watching older guys participate and now taking his turn. “We were talking before this, me and Jordan (Hall), about how everything has flown by,” Brown said. “I remember even being (a) younger dude and watching everybody do this and just thinking ‘We’ve got another year, another two years… Read more

Disabilities do not limit one’s potential, as “Breaking Bad” actor RJ Mitte represents. Mitte spoke to avid fans Thursday evening about his experiences on the show, but Mitte’s main focus was to raise awareness for disabilities, which left students inspired by his passion for the cause. Mitte spoke to about 500 Ohio State students about his experiences as an actor with cerebral palsy. He came to campus as a part of the Ohio Union Activities Board sponsored event “Breaking Good: Raising Awareness with RJ Mitte.” At the age of 3, Mitte was diagnosed with a mild form of cerebral palsy. Mitte spent his childhood and early teens at the Shriners… Read more
