Bucketheads’ is the only men’s basketball-focused podcast in the LGHL family of podcasts, co-hosts Connor Lemons and Justin Golba give the latest scoop on the Ohio State Buckeyes as well as all the other happenings in the college hoops world. ‘Bucketheads’ will be released every Thursday morning throughout the regular season. This. Is. March. We have two brackets for the men’s and the women’s NCAA tournaments and this week we took a deep dive into each of them — with a special guest! To start the episode, Justin and Connor talk about the Buckeyes' improbable conference tournament run (although Justin did predict it) and what it means for the Buckeyes heading into next season. Were the performances of Bruce Thornton, Roddy Gayle, and Felix Okpara a sign of things to come? Then, the guys go through the entire NCAA men’s tournament bracket and make their final four and championship predictions. At the end, Connor and Justin are joined by LGHL’s Ohio State women’s basketball beat writer Thomas Costello and they t

Throughout the year, Land-Grant Holy Land will be bringing you uncut audio primarily from Ohio State press conferences, but also from individual interview sessions. Sunday night, the Ohio State women's basketball team learned their road in the NCAA Tournament. Starting Saturday, the Buckeyes enter the 68-team tournament, facing the James Madison Dukes. Following the selection, head coach Kevin McGuff and guard Jacy Sheldon spoke with the media. Coach McGuff starts things off, giving insight into how the team's feeling in the week following their lopsided Big Ten Tournament final defeat to the Iowa Hawkeyes. Also, the respect he has for the JMU program and an update on Sheldon after returning to the court in the conference tournament. After coach, Sheldon gives her own update on how she's feeling. Then, the Dublin, Ohio native talks about playing in front of her hometown in the tournament, getting back onto the court this weekend and why Ohio State didn't seem nearly as excited as the other 67 teams in the ESP

Welcome to a new episode of Land-Grant Holy Land’s I-70 podcast. On this show, we talk about all things Big Ten football and basketball. After every week of action, we will get you caught up on all the conference’s games and look ahead at the matchups, storylines, and players that you should be paying attention to in the next week. My name is Jordan Williams, and I am joined by my co-host Dante Morgan. After a brief hiatus, the guys are back, but the football gods did not bless them with a heavy news cycle. Instead, the Big Ten has been relatively quiet the past few weeks. With multiple significant decisions still to be made, the conference has instead gone dark. There has yet to be any news on the search for the new commissioner, and there is still much to be decided on regarding the structure of the television deal, namely which games will be on which network this fall. We’re waiting for news on the new scheduling model and the permanent opponents for each team.  In other news, Maryland hired former Michiga

On today’s episode of “Buck Off with Christopher Renne,” I’m joined by Jordan Williams the guys are here to discuss the changing seasons and Ohio State starting Spring Practice. We start the episode with a discussion about why Spring Football is so exciting for everyone around the program. There is nothing, but excitement this time of year and this is the time for all of the hottest takes. After that our discussion turns to the chatter coming out of the Woody Hayes Athletic Center. The guys start with the big conversation about quarterbacks and discuss exactly what we know at this point about the competition – hint, it’s not much. We continue talking about the questions, and how the offensive line might be decided by the end of Spring. We close out the first half of the show with some rapid fire question-answers regarding the remaining noise out of the first couple Spring practices. Topics included are Jim Knowles playing more linebackers, no Jack position in the Spring, and Marvin Harrison Jr. returning punt

Throughout the year, the Land-Grant Podcast Network will be bringing you uncut audio primarily from Ohio State press conferences, but also from individual interview sessions. On today's episode, we've got uncut audio from the press conference kicking off the Ohio State football team's 2023 spring practice. Following the first practice, the first 30 minutes of which was open to the media, head coach Ryan Day answered questions about his plans for his team over the next five weeks. He provided updates on the quarterback battle between Kyle McCord and Devin Brown while also discussing his plans and expectations for other players. Then, defensive coordinator Jim Knowles took to the podium to provide further insight into the guys on his side of the ball. The biggest news from his session was the announcement that Jack Sawyer will exclusively play defensive end this season, instead of playing the DE/linebacker hybrid Jack position.

Bucketheads’ is the only men’s basketball-focused podcast in the LGHL family of podcasts, co-hosts Connor Lemons and Justin Golba give the latest scoop on the Ohio State Buckeyes as well as all the other happenings in the college hoops world. ‘Bucketheads’ will be released every Thursday morning throughout the regular season. During episode 69 (nice) of our men’s basketball podcast, Connor and Justin dissect the Big Ten Tournament bracket and take their guesses at how far Ohio State will advance. One of our cohosts think the Buckeyes will win a game before bowing out in round two. The other....is a bite more optimistic. Then they make their picks for a winner, as well as break down which bubble teams will need one win or more to solidify a spot in the NCAA Tournament. Michigan probably needs two wins, while Rutgers may need one — mathematically, this won’t work out for both parties. Wisconsin absolutely needs to beat Ohio State to get into the tournament, and Penn State could use a win against seven-seed Illi

Throughout the year, Land-Grant Holy Land will be bringing you uncut audio primarily from Ohio State press conferences, but also from individual interview sessions. After an entertaining two first games of the Big Ten Women's Basketball Tournament for the Ohio State women's basketball team, it came to an end Sunday in the finale. Unfortunately for the Buckeyes, they weren't bringing the tournament trophy on the plane ride home. The Scarlet & Gray suffered a second tough first half in a row, and unable to come back from a severly lopsided first two quarters. After the 105-72 defeat, head coach Kevin McGuff, guard Taylor Mikesell and forward Cotie McMahon spoke with the media. After a brief message by head coach Kevin McGuff, Mikesell and McMahon talk about how they can use this game as motivation, Mikesell addresses her final Big Ten game in her five-year career, with more basketball to play and McMahon discusses a moment in the game between herself and Iowa's Caitlin Clark that ended with an intentional foul

Throughout the year, Land-Grant Holy Land will be bringing you uncut audio primarily from Ohio State press conferences, but also from individual interview sessions. Following Ohio State’s 84-78 loss to the Michigan State Spartans Saturday afternoon in East Lansing, we were able to speak with Brice Sensabaugh, Justice Sueing, and Ohio State head coach Chris Holtmann about the loss. Despite the loss, all three seemed confident and ready for a potentially long week in Chicago. Sensabaugh started and felt he made poor decisions in the first half and took some questionable shots. He said he took better shots in the second half, and that the team’s toughness and resolve showed when they pushed the Spartans to the final minute despite trailing by 13 at one point. Sueing echoed Sensabaugh’s confidence in his team’s ability to always stay in a ballgame. He also noted that their defense on the perimeter was lacking at times, while the emotions of Senior Day may have also helped MSU’s confidence. Holtmann praised Sueing

Throughout the year, Land-Grant Holy Land will be bringing you uncut audio primarily from Ohio State press conferences, but also from individual interview sessions. The Ohio State women's basketball team made a habit this season out of coming back to defeat opponents. In the regular season, their best was a 17-point deficit erased against the Illinois Fighting Illini. Then, on Saturday, they outdid themselves, coming out of a 24-point hole to beat the No. 1 team in the conferene and No. 2 team in the country: The Indiana Hoosiers. After the 79-75 victory, head coach Kevin McGuff and guards Jacy Sheldon and Taylor Thierry spoke with the media about the win. Up first are Thierry and Sheldon. The two Buckeyes discussed moving on quickly from their big win to focus on the winner of the Maryland Terrapins and Iowa Hawkeyes in the second conferene semifinal. Also, Sheldon discussed returning from injury and how it feels to be back on the court. For coach McGuff, he shared about the win being something he's never se

Throughout the year, Land-Grant Holy Land will be bringing you uncut audio primarily from Ohio State press conferences, but also from individual interview sessions. For the second year in a row, the Ohio State women's basketball team had to face a Michigan side to open their Big Ten Tournament. This time, it was bitter rivals in the Michigan Wolverines. After Ohio State beat the Wolverines 81-79, head coach Kevin McGuff and forwards Taylor Thierry and Cotie McMahon spoke with the media. Land-Grant Holy Land was live from Minneapolis, Minnesota to capture their comments. Up first are the players. Thierry and McMahon discussed their mindsets offensively, leading Ohio State with 48 combined points. Also, the impact of Jacy Sheldon returning to the team, providing a spark from the bench and what was going through their minds in the final seconds as the Buckeyes had a two-point lead with the Wolverines surging. Then comes coach McGuff. The coach discusses more about Sheldon's return and how it won't be easy to kee

On today’s episode of “Buck Off with Christopher Renne,” I’m joined by Jordan Williams to get into everything surround the Ohio State Buckeyes this week. We start the episode with some discussion about the rigors of higher education and why the fact it’s golf season has me excited. Then we discuss some of the job/challenges of recruiting writing and smaller stories surrounding Ohio State and college football which is just about everything this time of year. Then we turn to the Buckeyes at the NFL combine, the keys to their success, and why this weekend is always important for the program. We start with one of the players with the most to prove at the combine, and then we get into why we’re mad about Zach Harrison not participating. After the break we get into additional combine stories including C.J. Stroud’s hand size measurements. Then we project how fast Jaxon Smith-Njigba and why to somebody with eyes, his forty time should not matter in his evaluation. We continue the discussion with some talk about the

Throughout the year, Land-Grant Holy Land will be bringing you uncut audio primarily from Ohio State press conferences, but also from individual interview sessions. Following Ohio State’s 73-62 win over No. 21 Maryland Wednesday night, we spoke with Justice Sueing, Isaac Likekele, Sean McNeil, Chris Holtmann, and Maryland coach Kevin Willard (kind of) about the game. Willard walked into the press conference, realized only one Maryland reporter traveled to Columbus for the game, and promptly walked out. He blew off the first question, half answered two more questions over the next 90 seconds, and then got up and left. We then spoke to the seniors — Sueing, McNeil, and Likekele. All three players talked about their families and being grateful their families were able to make it to Wednesday night’s game — Likekele’s family traveled from Texas and Sueing’s from Hawaii. They also talked about the growth of Ohio State’s freshmen but did not want to talk about the Big Ten Tournament with another game coming up at M

Bucketheads’ is the only men’s basketball-focused podcast in the LGHL family of podcasts, co-hosts Connor Lemons and Justin Golba give the latest scoop on the Ohio State Buckeyes as well as all the other happenings in the college hoops world. ‘Bucketheads’ will be released every Thursday morning throughout the regular season. Rejoice! The Ohio State men’s basketball team finally won a basketball game. The Buckeyes took down the Illinois Fighting Illini to move to 12-17 overall and 4-14 in the conference. What went right in this one that hasn’t gone right all year? Connor and Justin take a look at where the Buckeyes sit in the standings and take a look at just how bunched up the Big Ten standings are from spots 4-12. Also, is there a realistic path for the Buckeyes to make some type of run in Chicago? Also, the guys take a deeper look at the conference tournament and the NCAA Tournament. What does the path look like for Ohio State to make some noise? Could they play spoiler to a certain bubble team up north? A

Throughout the year, Land-Grant Holy Land will be bringing you uncut audio primarily from Ohio State press conferences, but also from individual interview sessions. After Ohio State’s 72-60 victory over Illinois on Sunday (open the fridges!), we spoke with Chris Holtmann, Brad Underwood, Justice Sueing, and Bruce Thornton about the win, which snapped a nine-game losing streak. Thornton reaffirmed that this is where he wants to be — which should settle down any talk or cynical rumblings of Ohio State’s freshman point guard transferring. He also said that when you “stack good days” wins are eventually going to come, even if they have not been lately. Underwood was as surly as you’d expect after losing to the 13th-place team in the Big Ten. He said that the loss had nothing to do with Ohio State’s defense and everything with his team’s shot selection. Underwood also said that he’s getting close to just telling some of his guys to stop shooting three-pointers, at all costs. Holtmann gave a lot of credit to Sueing

Throughout the year, Land-Grant Holy Land will be bringing you uncut audio primarily from Ohio State press conferences, but also from individual interview sessions. On the final day of the regular season, the Ohio State women's basketball team looked like the team they were going into the 2023 calendar. Instead of a lopsided double-digit loss to a Big Ten team for the fifth time this season, the Buckeyes played to the last second against the No. 7 Terrapins, ultimately falling 76-74. After the defeat, head coach Kevin McGuff and guard Taylor Mikesell spoke to the media. Breaking down the game, coach McGuff talked about the game going down to the visitors making one more play than the Buckeyes. Also, if free throw shooting was anywhere close to average it would've been a different story. McGuff also shares what he said to the team following the loss and what Mikesell means to the program in her short time in it, with Friday also being senior night for the graduate senior. Then, Mikesell addresses the competiti

Throughout the year, Land-Grant Holy Land will be bringing you uncut audio primarily from Ohio State press conferences, but also from individual interview sessions. Following a back-and-forth, entertaining game in Columbus that saw Penn State ultimately prevail 75-71, we spoke with Chris Holtmann, Micah Shrewsberry, Bruce Thornton, and Brice Sensabaugh. The players led off, with Sensabaugh discussing the task of guarding Jalen Pickett and Thornton saying that the work “isn’t for nothing” and that even if wins aren’t coming, he feels like they are better now than they were. Shrewsberry, like almost every coach before him who has handed Ohio State a loss recently, took time to talk about Holtmann’s coaching ability and defend his peer. He said to “get that nonsense out of my face” with the “nonsense” assumedly being the calls to fire Holtmann after a disastrous season. Finally, Ohio State’s head coach discussed the task of guarding Pickett as well. He said that, although the Buckeyes operated well on offense,

On today’s episode of “Buck Off with Christopher Renne,” I’m joined by Jordan Williams get into everything but Ohio State on this episode. We obviously circle everything back to the Buckeyes though on our national show. We start the episode with the biggest conversation topic across recruiting message boards with NIL. The conversation starts with our expectations surrounding NIL in the future, and a big reason the crazy collectives might have a glass ceiling placed by programs around the country. Then our attention turns towards the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and their offseason failures. We get into their failures that have occurred since Brian Kelly, losing Tommy Rees making them a stepping stone job, and them not paying for the offensive coordinator Marcus Freeman wanted. This one is for our Irish fan friends who don’t take football as seriously as the big time programs. After that, we get into what’s going on in the Southeastern Conference. Florida has lost three assistants in as many days. With Florida th

Bucketheads’ is the only men’s basketball-focused podcast in the LGHL family of podcasts, co-hosts Connor Lemons and Justin Golba give the latest scoop on the Ohio State Buckeyes as well as all the other happenings in the college hoops world. ‘Bucketheads’ will be released every Thursday morning throughout the regular season. During episode 67 of Bucketheads, the guys discuss Zed Key’s injury status, as the junior big man will now have season-ending shoulder surgery. They discuss some of the misguided hate Key gets from a small sub-section of the Ohio State fanbase, and how his being compromised contributed to the Buckeyes’ season snowballing out of control. They also talked about the ongoing situation at the University of Alabama, after news broke this week that star freshman Brandon Miller was present when a teammate fatally shot a young woman in Tuscaloosa. Other topics that were hit include Michigan State’s emotional win over Indiana this week following a tragedy on their campus, which Ohio State players
