Senior Lantern reporter Andrew Todd-Smith and Lantern TV’s Assistant Sports Director Aaron Yerian discuss how Buckeye women’s basketball played in a come-from-behind victory at home over archrival Michigan, 77-73, while guards Kelsey Mitchell and Cait Craft talk about the team’s rally to win.

The men’s basketball team took on Penn State the following night: senior forward Sam Thompson tallied a career-high 22 points, while freshman forward Keita Bates-Diop contributed blocks and steals. The women’s and men’s basketball teams’ road defeats to Illinois and Michigan State, respectively, are also mentioned.

Men’s ice hockey split a series with Wisconsin over the weekend, giving a struggling Badger team its first Big Ten victory on Saturday. The women also notched a win and a loss against the No. 3 Lady Badgers, snagging the 4-3 upset Saturday to send off their seniors on a high note after suffering a 2-0 setback Friday.

Both coaches discuss the Wisconsin series, and the episode wraps with a rundown of how No. 12 Ohio State men’s volleyball performed against Penn State and St. Francis (PA) as they concluded a long homestand and prepare for a five-game road trip.
