I have always thought the contributions of Ohio State's Kennedy Cambridge were underappreciated – mostly because her sister's offensive game dominates so many headlines. But if Kennedy does what Jaloni Cambridge predicts, she'll get headlines of her own. www.dispatch.com/story/sports...

‘This is her year’: Why Ohio State's Kennedy Cambridge could reach new heights

Kennedy Cambridge is aiming for an impactful final season with the Ohio State women's basketball team. Here's what it could look like.

#OhioState #Buckeyes coach Jake Diebler: "There’s guys competing for opportunities and minutes and all that (right now in practice). That wasn’t the case this time last year. Last year things were more clearly defined."

Jaxson Davis didn't necessarily think he was going to commit quickly. He had more visits to take, but after seeing #OhioState, the four-star 2027 guard soon picked the #Buckeyes. Here's why, and which two former OSU players he has ties with: www.dispatch.com/story/sports...

I can't second this enough. Quinn has a way of writing that is equal parts inspiring, emotional and incredible enough to make me consider never writing again because I can't possibly compete with that.

#OhioState added Sydney Mobley to its roster a year earlier than expected, but the #Buckeyes first got a tip about the Central Ohio product thanks to...Ryan Day. Here's what Kevin McGuff said about how that sequence of events was set in motion: www.dispatch.com/story/sports...

So with today's news that #OhioState will be part of an all-Ohio charity exhibition doubleheader with Cincinnati, Dayton and Xavier, the next #buckeyes question I got was simple: Why can't this be in the regular season?
