Ohio State is the champion of the Big Ten tournament – again. Deshaun Thomas scored 17 points and the 10th-ranked Buckeyes used their stout defense to beat No. 22 Wisconsin 50-43 for their conference-best fifth tournament title on Sunday. Thomas was 6 for 19 from the field, but made some big free throws down the […]

March 17, 2013 by
After two road matches to start the 2013 Major League Soccer season, the Columbus Crew returned home to the friendly confines of Crew Stadium on Saturday evening.

Blue Jackets Down Coyotes in Shootout
March 17, 2013 by
Sergei Bobrovsky is authoring some kind of story right now, and even his head coach couldn’t recall off-hand a run quite like the Blue Jackets goaltending has strung together. In what admittedly was not their cleanest or most complete effort in the first 28 games, the 24-year-old netminder held the Jackets together through regulation, overtime, […]

Cavaliers Come Up Short Against Spurs 119-113
March 17, 2013 by
As close as they might come, as hard as they might play and as well as they might shoot, the Cavaliers still do not have their Mr. Fourth Quarter. They are without All-Star Kyrie Irving, the point guard who sat at home as his Cava liers took on the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday night […]
Blue Jackets Break Points Streak, but Fall to Blackhawks in Shootout
March 15, 2013 by
On a night when both the Blue Jackets and Chicago Blackhawks traded momentum like it was the floor of the stock exchange, a rocking crowd of 15,009 at Nationwide Arena took it all in and loved every second of it — especially in what was one of the more entertaining overtime periods we’ve seen in […]
Canucks Beat Blue Jackets 2-1 in Shootout
March 13, 2013 by
The only thing standing in the way of the Blue Jackets’ win streak Tuesday night was a somewhat lucky shootout goal that will definitely raise some eyebrows. Make no mistake: Mason Raymond’s shootout and game-deciding goal was not the most creative or quirky attempt the NHL has seen in the last 48 hours, after Kaspars […]
Blue Jackets Beat Red Wings in SO for Fifth Straight Win
March 11, 2013 by
If you don’t enjoy watching these guys, please check your pulse. The Blue Jackets, on the strength of 21 saves from Sergei Bobrovsky in regulation/overtime and two more in the shootout, earned their fifth consecutive win Sunday night, a 3-2 decision at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit. Columbus has earned points in seven straight, and […]

March 11, 2013 by
Deshaun Thomas scored 19 points Sunday to lead the No. 14 Buckeyes over Illinois 68-55 and keep alive their Big Ten title hopes. The victory put Ohio State (23-7, 13-5) in position to grab a share of the conference title if No. 7 Michigan can win at home against No. 2 Indiana later on Sunday. […]
Raptors Beat Cavaliers 100-96
March 11, 2013 by
All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving needed help putting his Duke sweatshirt over his head after the Cavaliers’ 100-96 loss to the Toronto Raptors Sunday, a clear indication that his left shoulder contusion was far more painful than watching his team flounder through another awful third quarter. Irving was driving to the basket when he took […]
