Ohio State Men and Women Stay Unbeaten in Sweep of Pitt
The Ohio State men’s and women’s teams both remained unbeaten with a senior day sweep of Pitt on Friday.
The women’s team moved to 6-0 with a 202-97 decision, while the me are 5-0 thanks to a 179-121 victory.
The Buckeyes put down an early and needed marker on the men’s side with 1-2-3 results in both the 1,000 free and 200 free. Charlie Clark led the former in 9:06.06, followed by Alex Metzler win in 1:37.52. Mason Edmund, the 1,000 free runner-up, led a 1-2 in the 500 free with 200 free runner-up Alex Axon.
Clay Chaplin won both diving events, scoring 419.63 on 3-meter and 384.53 on 1-meter. Chachi Gustafson won the 200 butterfly and was second to teammate JP Khouzam in the 100. Tristan Jankovics won the 200 backstroke and was the 200 IM runner-up, a spot ahead of Metzler. Daniel Baltes went 20.10 to win the 50 free.
Pitt more than held its own, thanks largely to the breaststroke prowess of Jerry Chen. He teamed with Krzysztof Radziszewski, Dominic Toledo and Stepan Goncharov to win the 200 medley relay. Chen went 54.80 to edge OSU’s Billy Regan by .03 in the 100 breast, then denied Regan by two tenths in the 200 breast in 1:58.67.
Radziszewski and Goncharov went 1-2 in the 100 back, the former winning in 47.88. Goncharov stormed to the win in the 100 free in 44.02, and Max Matteazzi went 1:44.30 to claim the 200 IM.
The Ohio State women’s win was more comprehensive, winning 14 of 16 events. Katherine Zenick swept the sprints, winning the 50 free in 22.62 seconds the 100 free in 50.11. Amy Fulmer won the 500 free in 4:55.86 and led off victorious 200 medley and 400 free relays. Hannah Bach was on both of those relays to go with gold in the 100 breast. Josie Panitz claimed the 200 breast. Janie Boyle swept diving, scoring 337.95 on 3-meter.
Pitt’s Sydney Gring was the Panthers’ best performer on the day, rewarded with a win in the 200 IM in 2:03.34. She had been second in the 200 free and 100 free. Claire Jansen’s 2:00.31 won the 200 back.
Snow hits downtown Columbus
Snow falls outside the Ohio Theatre as downtown Columbus turns into a winter wonderland.
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.

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.
