Bob Baptist reported last week that Sibert has planned to take his talent down the road to play for Dayton under former Ohio State assistant Archie Miller. It is unclear if that is still his intentions, but the Flyers present a prime opportunity for a three point threat like Sibert. The Cincinnati product will have to sit a year before regaining eligibility. In his two seasons at Ohio State, he averaged 2.5 points per game, while shooting less than 30 percent from the floor and averaging nearly 10 minutes a game.

It looks like rumblings that started as soon as the Buckeyes exited the NCAA Tournament are actually true. After stating that he hasn’t thought about transferring but was going to explore all options at the end of the season, it looks like sophomore Jordan Sibert will take his skills to Dayton and become a member of the Flyers basketball program.

According to the Dispatch’s Bob Baptist,  A source has comfirmed that Sibert will be released from his scholarship as early as this week and plans

Only two teams remain in the season-ending tournament of the toughest conference in the country. The Ohio State Buckeyes, fresh off a strong victory over the Michigan Wolverines, are set to do battle with the Michigan State Spartans for the second time in a week. Again, much like the previous duel, championship implications ride on the result, making the game significantly more important than it already would have been.

Overall, the Spartans have only participated in two Tournament Championship games in the 15 years the tournament has run. Michigan State last played for the championship in 2000 where they defeated the 4th seeded Fighting Illini 76-61. They also won in 1999 over the 11th seeded Illini 67-50. When the Spartans make it to the final game, they certainly make the most of the opportunity.

The Buckeyes are only the third team holding the number three seed to make it … [Read More]

For the first time ever the top four seeds of the Big Ten tournament have advanced to the semi-finals. The three co-champions are still in, and still have an opportunity to prove that they are indeed the best team in the Big Ten.

Ohio State and Michigan get to prove it on the court today.

Today is the rubber game in this season’s series. Both teams split the regular season meetings, with the Buckeyes taking a 64-49 win at home, while Michigan emerged victorious in Ann Arbor 56-51.

But this game has even more historical significance. The Buckeyes and Wolverines have encountered each other repeatedly over the last several years in the Big Ten Tournament. Last season, the Bucks handled Michigan in the semi-finals 68-61 by opening up a significant lead halfway through the second half and coasting to the win. The year before saw Evan Turner’s last second buzzer … [Read More]

Ohio State started the game playing their style of basketball. After a rough opening tip, the Bucks took advantage of numbers and attacked the rim giving Jared Sullinger an easy layup. William Buford also found an easy high bucket, setting up Deshaun Thomas later for a wide open trey. They coupled the strong offense with tough defense and … [Read More]
