Before every Ohio State men’s basketball game, Connor Lemons gets you ready for that day’s action with key stats, players to know, and prevalent storylines for that day’s game on the “Good Hoops Morning” podcast. Subscribe: RSS | Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio Ohio State Buckeyes (-5.5) vs. Pitt | over/under 146.5 Game Date/Time: Friday, Nov. 28 at 7:00 p.m. ETLocation: Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaTV: ESPNRadio: 97.1 FM/ 971thefan.com Ohio State will try to exact revenge on the Pitt Panthers Friday night at the Petersen Events Center after suffering a heartbreaking loss to them last year on Black Friday, 91-90. Last year’s game saw Ohio State flounder away leads in the final 90 seconds of regulation and overtime to eventually lose on a long three-point buzzer beater at the end of overtime. That loss was followed by the Ohio State football team’s fourth consecutive loss to Michigan less than 24 hours later. While Ohio State is the betting favorite in this game, roads wins have not come easy for the Buckeyes in recent years. And with Pitt’s early season struggles, this game against the Panthers is no longer the marquee road game that it looked like a year ago when it was put on the schedule. Ohio State will need to take care of the ball and prevent any long scoring runs from the Panthers on their home floor if they want to improve to 7-0 on the season leading into Big Ten play. Ohio State’s Christoph Tilly did not play the second half of the Buckeyes’ 113-60 win over Mount St. Mary’s with what Jake Diebler called a “nagging lower leg injury” but he did not seem concerned it would impact his availability for Friday’s game. Pitt’s second-leading scorer Brandon Cummings missed the Panthers’ loss to Quinnipiac with what was described as a “lower body injury” and he is considered day-to-day. Connor’s prediction: Ohio State 72, Pitt 70 Connect with Connor: Twitter: @lemons_connor Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On this new episode of the Land-Grant Podcast Network's "Lunatic Fringe," Gene Ross and Matt Tamanini dive into Saturday's rivalry game as only two obsessive Ohio State alums can. Obviously, they discuss the impact that the injuries to wide receivers Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate could have on The Game... if they are actually injured at all. They also get into Ryan Day's mentality heading into the trip to Ann Arbor, and Gene dives into the first-quarter stats over OSU's four-game losing streak to TTUN. Then, as always, both Gene and Matt fire off the hottest take they have for the game and give their respective score predictions.

On Land-Grant Holy Land In Conversation, we talk to people in and around Ohio State athletics, and the sporting world at large, to bring you a different insight and perspective to the teams, athletes, and university that you love. On the show today, Matt Tamanini is in conversation with college football analyst, Big 12 color-commentary man for Warner Bros. Discovery, former podcast host, and former Notre Dame offensive lineman Mike Golic Jr. In their conversation, Golic Jr. breaks down Saturday's upcoming Ohio State vs. Michigan game, including how the availability and health situations of wide receivers Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate will impact how the game is played. He also goes on the record to pick the game, and Buckeye fans will likely be happy with his prediction. He also pulls back the curtain on how not knowing who is going to play for your opponent can impact how you prepare throughout the week. Then he talks about the roller coaster season for his beloved Notre Dame Fighting Irish, how much fun he has had calling Big 12 football this season, and (of course) his favorite Thanksgiving dishes.

Throughout the season, Land-Grant will be bringing you uncut audio primarily from Ohio State press conferences, but also from individual interview sessions. Subscribe: RSS | Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio Following Ohio State’s lopsided 113-60 win over Mount St. Mary’s on Tuesday night, the media spoke with John Mobley Jr., Ivan Njegovan, and head coach Jake Diebler about the win and the upcoming road game against Pitt. Mobley said that he has a “bad taste in his mouth” from last year’s Pitt loss (Ohio State lost 91-90 in overtime last year) and that he “can’t wait” to play the Panthers again. He also said that the mid-range shots “really weren’t there” for him over the last several games, but Mount St. Mary’s playing a drop coverage defense opened up the middle for him on Tuesday, opening up those types of shots and helping him score 26 points on 10-of-15 shooting. Diebler said that he’s glad some of the team had that experience with Pitt last season, but that it is a new group and he “doesn’t need to manufacture motivation” for Friday’s game. He also said that he is confident that the high-level offense that Ohio State has been exhibiting through the first six games of the season will translate against a power conference team on the road.

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 of “Land-Grant Uncut,” we are bringing you unedited audio from the Tuesday, Nov. 25 Michigan Week press conference from the Woody Hayes Athletic Center. A surprisingly loose Ohio State head football coach, Ryan Day, did provide injury updates on tight end Will Kacmarek and nickleback Lorenzo Styles Jr., but declined to provide much insight into the health statuses of wide receivers Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate. He also praised Michigan quarterback Bryce Underwood, discussed the plan to pick up the offensive tempo, and confirmed that Caleb Downs' podcast was the best injury information source on the Buckeye beat.

In the episode, Lori says that while she can't guarantee anything, she "would be shocked not to see [Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate] on the field" against Michigan on Saturday. She discusses how important this game is to them individually, as well as to the team as a whole. They also talk about what this game means to Ryan Day and whether or not we will see this new version of the Ohio State head coach, or if he will revert to his previous rivalry game form.

The Buckeyes beat Rutgers by 33 points with both starting wide receivers (and a key backup receiver) tied behind their backs on Saturday. Ohio State’s 42-9 rout of the Scarlet Knights took a while to build up some steam, but the defense’s continued bludgeoning of opponents eventually let the offense catch up. Julian Sayin made good use of Max Klare and Bo Jackson and his fellow running backs ran wild, while Caden Curry made the Rutgers backfield his own personal playground. As we normally do, we checked our score predictions from last week, broke down all the key players, moments, and stats from the game, and checked on our picks to click to see how they performed. Following our Rutgers rewind, we discussed the other results around the Big Ten. Once again, Wrigley Field delivered a solid game, as Northwestern reached bowl eligibility when Minnesota missed its last-second field goal. USC couldn’t stop Oregon’s offense in what we thought was going to be a good game. Iowa had to stage a furious fourth-quarter comeback to beat Sparty at home. Nebraska was a no-show in Happy Valley. UCLA is bad again, while Maryland remains bad. There are a lot of good rivalry games this week in the Big Ten, and we’re particularly excited about Farmageddon on Friday as well as the Oregon-Washington battle in Seattle. Rutgers and Penn State will meet with bowl eligibility going only to the winner, and we don’t expect that to be the Scarlet Knights. Finally, we looked forward to The Game Saturday at noon. Everyone with any sense of taste is tired of hearing about the current streak, but there’s only one way to shut those yaps, and that is to win the game in the greatest rivalry in sports. Ohio State will have to shut down the run and make life difficult for Bryce Underwood while hopefully Julian Sayin will have his primary weapons because the Wolverines have a stout run defense but have had issues defending the pass. We discuss the matchup, make our picks to click, and try to predict the final score. We think it will be a tightly contested game. We would love to hear from you, so please reach out with your feedback and questions below in the comments section or send us an email at silverbulletspod@gmail.com.

As always, thanks for listening! 0:20 - Rutgers fought hard but was outmatched on Saturday. Ohio State rested some players and hopefully that will pay off in the big rivalry game coming up. 20:23 - The rest of the Big Ten offered up only a couple of close games, and the best of those was (surprisingly) Minnesota vs. Northwestern. 48:37 - The Buckeyes have a series of scores to settle.

Mount St. Mary’s is 1-5 on the season, but has played in close games with nearly everyone on their schedule thus far, except (ironically) Western Michigan. The Mountaineers were close at halftime or later against West Virginia, Bucknell, Cincinnati, and Maryland so far, and even went to overtime against the Terrapins in College Park last week. They shoot a lot of threes, make a decent amount of them, but also turn the ball over at a debilitating rate, many of which are unforced. Mount St. Mary’s did make it to the NCAA Tournament last year as a 16-seed, beating American in the 16-16 play-in game in Dayton before getting destroyed by No. 1-seed Duke right after. Jake Diebler said on Thursday night that he was intentionally involving his bench early in the win over Western Michigan. With the talent disparity in this game, look for him to get guys like Colin White, Gabe Cupps, and Mathieu Grujicic in the game early on Tuesday night as well.

On this week’s episode of Off-Script Ohio, presented by Land-Grant Holy Land, Cole and Joey recapped Ohio State’s 42–9 win over Rutgers. A game that showcased the Buckeyes’ most complete rushing performance of the year while raising questions about the health of their wide receivers and passing attack as a whole. With The Game now days away, the win felt both dominant and revealing at the same time. Ohio State bullied Rutgers on the ground from the opening snap, averaging 7.05 yards per carry. Bo Jackson hit the 100-yard mark again, Isaiah West added efficient bursts when he came into the game, and James Peoples broke the game open with an explosive 50+ yard touchdown. The passing attack, however, revolved almost entirely around Max Klare. The junior tight end caught seven passes for 105 yards and a score, while David Adolph, finished as the next leading receiver. With Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate still sidelined, the offense once again leaned heavily on Klare and the run game. Defensively, Ohio State suffocated Rutgers. Caden Curry delivered another breakout performance with two sacks and a strip-sack recovery, while the secondary put together another elite performance. Devin Sanchez responded well after last week’s struggles, and a Davison Igbinosun interception was negated by a penalty, one of the few mistakes of the afternoon. Cole and Joey also touched on a strong week for Ohio State basketball, now 5–0 after a 91–58 win over Western Michigan. Christoph Tilly led with 17 points, while Amare Bynum continued his impressive rise with a 12-point, 10-rebound performance. With Pitt looming on Friday, Joey predicted that a win should put the Buckeyes in the Top 25. Nationally, Oregon outlasted USC, Oklahoma stifled Missouri, Pitt shocked Georgia Tech, and Michigan handled Maryland behind one of Bryce Underwood’s best outings of the season. Freshman star Andrew Marsh continues to emerge as the Wolverines’ top weapon. On the other side of the ball, Maryland did find success through the air which will be something to monitor with Ohio State’s passing attack potentially undermanned. That leads directly into this year’s rivalry showdown. Ohio State enters as a 10.5-point road favorite, but the injury report hangs over everything. Smith and Tate remain day-to-day, and no update has been given on Lorenzo Styles. Michigan expects running back Jordan Marshall back, though Justice Haynes will not play. Statistically, Michigan’s defense remains strong against the run but vulnerable on the perimeter, making the availability of Ohio State’s top receivers a deciding factor. USC and Oklahoma both attacked Michigan’s corners successfully, posting big passing numbers in their matchups. A Buckeye win would send Ohio State to the Big Ten Championship for the first time since 2020 and all but guarantee a first-round bye in the College Football Playoff. A Michigan win, on the other hand, keeps the Wolverines’ playoff hopes alive and opens a path to Indianapolis with help from Washington. Joey predicted a 27–17 Ohio State win, leaning on Bo Jackson, and Caleb Downs to make the difference. Cole called it 24–14, believing the Buckeye defense is too complete for Michigan to sustain drives and predicting a “Jeremiah Smith statement game” if he’s healthy. Both highlighted the edges as well, Caden Curry and Kenyatta Jackson, as potential game-changers in a matchup where Michigan’s offensive tackles have struggled for a lot of the season.

Both Alex and Ryan are confident Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate will play Saturday, and Alex explains why he feels there is NO WAY either of them will miss this game. Of course, there is going to be some nervousness going into The Game.
