What channel is the Ohio State basketball game on? How to watch OSU-Rutgers

Riding its longest winning streak in two months, Ohio State will close out the regular season with a Sunday afternoon game at Rutgers.

Last Sunday, the Buckeyes enjoyed their most lopsided win against Michigan since 2005, handing the Wolverines an 84-61 defeat on senior day at Value City Arena. The win followed a 78-69 home victory against Nebraska, which followed a 60-57 win at Michigan State on a Dale Bonner 3-pointer with 0.2 seconds left. It’s the longest winning streak for the Buckeyes since they won four straight from Dec. 16-Jan. 3, and it has players believing a run to March Madness is still possible.

On Feb. 14, athletic director Gene Smith fired coach Chris Holtmann with six games remaining in his seventh season with the program. Four days later, interim head coach Jake Diebler and the Buckeyes took down No. 2 Purdue, 73-69, at Value City Arena, celebrating with a court-storming after the final whistle.

Ohio State leads the all-time series 12-5. The Buckeyes won the first meeting between the teams this year but came away from the game saying it still had a lot to work on.

Ohio State is coached by interim coach Jake Diebler. Rutgers is led by Steve Pikiell, who is in his eighth season with the Scarlet Knights.

Single-digit temps, below-zero wind chills hit central Ohio after snow

Now comes the cold.

After nearly 5½ inches of snow fell Dec. 13 in some parts of central Ohio, the National Weather Service says bitterly cold temperatures moving into the region will mean highs in just the single digits.

A cold weather advisory is in affect across central Ohio through 11 a.m. Dec. 15. It was 4 degrees at John Glenn Columbus International Airport at 8:30 a.m. Dec. 14, with a wind chill of 16 degrees below zero.

Temperatures to the west and south are even colder: 1 degree in Springfield, minus-1 in Dayton and minus-3 in Indianapolis. Those temperatures are not expected in the Columbus area, though. The forecast calls for slightly warmer temperatures by evening and highs in the low 20s Dec. 15.

The record cold expected for Dec. 14 — until now, the coldest high temperature in Columbus for this date was 16 degrees in 1917 — follows a day of record snow. The weather service recorded 5.4 inches of snowfall on Dec. 13 at John Glenn Columbus International Airport, topping the prior Dec. 13 record, which was 3.6 inches in 1945.

Level 2 snow emergencies, which means roads are hazardous and people should drive only if they think it’s necessary, remained in effect in Fairfield and Licking counties.

Level 1 snow emergencies are in effect in Delaware, Franklin, Madison, Union and Pickaway counties.

Ohio State men’s basketball fights back in 89-88 double OT win over West Virginia

Ohio State men’s basketball fights back in 89-88 double OT win over West Virginia

CLEVELAND, Ohio — Ohio State’s game-winning play over West Virginia in the second overtime period Saturday night was simple: give the ball to Bruce Thornton and get out of his way.

The result was an 89-88 double overtime win in the Cleveland Hoops Showdown at Rocket Arena.

It took so much to get to this moment.

The Buckeyes did all they could in regulation to overcome a 14-point deficit, while awaiting their top player in Thornton to come through.

His teammates did the dirty work to keep them in the game. From their defense creating transition points, matching the Mountaineers’ physical brand of ball.

Once extra time came after the first 40 minutes expired, Thornton took care of the rest in the two overtime periods.

He delivered bucket after another.

None more important than the final one.

A tightly covered Thornton took it down to the top of the key before finding a mismatch and looking to take it to the hole. A defender cut off his path, however, forcing Thornton to operate elsewhere in the paint.

Thornton used his pivot foot wisely before finding an opening for a fadeaway jumper and knocking it down.

Twelve of his 21 points came in the overtime periods.

Ohio State fought to the end and earned a win over a hard-nosed Big 12 opponent.

Center Christoph Tilly did his best to limit the Mountaineers’ big men, while adding 14 points and 11 boards of his own.

Freshman big man Amare Bynum was a pivotal spark off the bench with 17 points, eight rebounds and three blocks.

Point guard John Mobley Jr. finished with 17 points and delivered the 3-point shot in the final seconds of the second half to give them their first lead since the 9:00 mark of the first half.
