Andrew Todd-Smith and Aaron Yerian examine how the Buckeyes of men’s and women’s basketball have been enjoying recent success in conference play, with freshman guards D’Angelo Russell and Kelsey Mitchell each earning the Big Ten Freshman of the Week honors.

After taking care of No. 16 Maryland at home Thursday by a tally of 80-56, the men crept back into the national rankings, while the ladies have won four straight after beating Michigan State Monday. The No. 4 wrestling team beat a ranked Purdue squad at St. John Arena before traveling to Piscataway, N.J., to stage a come-from-behind win over Rutgers with five technical falls. Women’s tennis began their spring season with 3 team wins, and both track and field teams hosted competition from IPFW and Wright State in the Ohio State Invitational this past Friday.
