Ohio State heads into the final week of the regular season with a 16-13 record following an 87-82 win at USC on Feb. 26. Coach Jake Diebler is in his first full season after taking over in mid-February. He went 8-3 and guided the Buckeyes to the NIT to remove the interim tag.
The Buckeyes went 8-3 during non-conference action, highlighted by neutral-site wins over Texas and Kentucky. The losses were to Auburn and Texas A&M and a one-point overtime loss to Pittsburgh. In Big Ten Conference play, OSU is 4-5 both at home and on the road. The Buckeyes had lost four of their last five after a win over Maryland on Feb. 6 before the win at USC on the West Coast trip.
OSU averages 78.5 points per game and is one of the Big Ten’s best 3-point shooting teams, averaging 8.1 3-pointers per game on 37.5 percent shooting. The Buckeyes have four players averaging double figures, led by junior guard Bruce Thornton and sophomore Devin Royal. Thornton leads the Buckeyes in scoring (17.4 ppg) and assists (4.3 apg) and sophomore Devin Royal, who averaged 13.3 ppg and a team-high 6.9 rpg. Freshman John Mobley Jr. averages 13.1 ppg and leads the Buckeyes in 3-pointers with 71 while shooting over 40 percent from the 3-point line. San Diego State transfer Micah Parrish is the fourth Buckeye in double figures at 12.7 ppg while averaging 4.5 rebounds and 1.1 steals per outing.
Jarek’s Pre-tipoff Thoughts: I mean, this is basically do or die at this point. Nebraska is firmly ensconced on the bubble, and every single game is now “win or go home”. Nebraska’s inability to close out close games has been prevalent as of late. It really has come down to wretched free-throw shooting. Mix in the fact that the last 3 close losses have included desperation shots by Berke Buyuktuncel, Andrew Morgan and Rollie Worster and that’s why Nebraska hasn’t won any of them. I know I should show optimism, but the start of the last 3 road games means this one won’t be close either, and that’s a damn shame knowing what is on the line. Prediction: Ohio State 78 Nebraska 64
The Nebraska Cornhuskers will face the Indiana Hoosiers in the semifinal round of the Big Ten Tournament on Friday evening. The Huskers defeated the Michigan Wolverines, while Indiana defeated Washington to advance to the semis.
Nebraska enters with a 44-6 record and is on a 19-game win streak, the longest active streak in the country. The Huskers have reached the semifinals of each of the last five Big Ten Tournaments. Indiana is 42-13 on the season.
The Huskers won the Big Ten regular-season title, the first conference title since 2014 and the first outright title since joining the Big Ten. The 23 regular-season wins tied for the most in conference history.
The Huskers are led by 2025 Big Ten Player of the Year and Big Ten Pitcher of the Year Jordy Frahm. Frahm is hitting .429 with 19 HR and 49 RBI. She is also 16-4 with a 1.26 ERA in the pitcher’s circle.

LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) – A 20-year-old driver accused of reaching 160 mph while fleeing from state troopers in Lancaster County was arrested early Thursday.
The Nebraska State Patrol (NSP) said the incident began around 8:30 p.m. Wednesday when a trooper was patrolling on Interstate 80 in Lincoln, southeast of Lincoln Airport. A BMW sedan was reportedly seen speeding at more than 95 mph in a 65 mph zone.
The trooper attempted a traffic stop on the BMW, but the driver accelerated and fled eastbound, NSP said. A pursuit then began.
NSP said the BMW driver reached speeds of more than 160 mph on Interstate 80 before taking the exit at 56th Street and continuing south. The pursuit was discontinued out of concern for public safety.
The suspect vehicle was found several minutes later by another trooper. It was traveling westbound on Cornhusker Highway between 70th and 65th streets.
NSP said the driver again fled from law enforcement, turning northbound onto 56th Street, where another trooper successfully deployed stop sticks. The driver continued before coming to a stop near Highway 77 and Agnew Road in northern Lancaster County and ran off.
Troopers, with help from several other agencies, later found the driver when he returned home around 1:30 a.m. Thursday.
The driver, identified as Nathanael Campbell of Ceresco, was arrested on suspicion of flight to avoid arrest, second-offense willful reckless driving, obstructing a peace officer and other traffic violations. He was lodged in the Lancaster County Jail.
