Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is running to be the Democratic presidential nominee.

Democratic presidential candidates Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton have been invited to participate in a nationally televised Democratic town hall at Ohio State.

The event with the Vermont senator and the former secretary

of state is scheduled to take place from 8 to 10 p.m. Sunday, two days before five states, including Ohio, cast primary ballots. Hosted

by CNN and TV One, the event is slated to be held in the Mershon Auditorium.

CNN is dubbing Sunday’s event a “closing statement” before voters in bellwether states Ohio and Florida, along with those in Illinois, Missouri and North Carolina, head to the polls.

Drake talks safety and security ALEX DRUMMER Managing Editor for Content drummer.18@osu.edu University President Michael Drake has had a busy first semester in what he refers to as his “sophomore year.” From security incidents to traditions in jeopardy, the president has had to deal with heavier issues in his second year at Ohio State.

On Tuesday, Drake sat down with The Lantern staff to discuss what the administration is doing to improve its security measures, ensure the success of humanities majors, make OSU affordable and more.

Safety and security In light of an incident at the Wexner Center on Nov. 29 during which a former OSU security officer entered a gallery and vandalized artwork before taking his own life, Drake said OSU is working to improve its emergency messaging.

“I didn’t think that the communication was effective at the Wexner,” Drake said. “We’ve talked about that, and we’ve actually used that to try to refine and revise our policies and procedures so that they are effective.”

Drake said some specific recommendations have been presented to the Board of Trustees and some changes have been made. However, the university president added that some cannot be shared for security reasons.

“So part of the deal is that you don’t talk about exactly what your security is because then if someone wishes to get around it, they know exactly what you’re doing,” he said.

But he did share that the university has revised the notification criteria in an effort to get alerts out more quickly when there’s some-

University President Michael Drake spoke to The Lantern’s staff members on March 8 about campus-wide issues and progress. thing that “needs to be avoided or should be avoided.”

Drake noted that this can be difficult because these tragedies often happen in a short time span.

“They’re often over as soon as they start … they’re a few minutes, so by the time you’re able to kind of get around to notifying people, then it’s already done,” he said.

Drake explained that the university’s first response is to dispatch public-safety officials to “help control the situation.” The next step, he

explained, is to send out a timely warning.

“Sometimes, the notifying and getting the public safety responders there happens, and then they’re there so quickly that by the time you have taken a look again at what’s happening and it’s time to put out the warning … there’s nothing to warn about anymore,” he said.

Drake said the university’s goal is to send out warnings while also balancing gathering information and getting public-safety officials

to the scene when incidents occur.

President Drake also emphasized the importance of students staying safe while participating in university traditions. Following the tragedy of Austin Singletary’s death as a result of injuries the third-year in human nutrition sustained during the Mirror Lake jump, Drake said the university is waiting to hear the outcomes of students’ discussions to find an alternative tradition for next year.

Drake said he understands the importance of traditions but wants to ensure the well-being of students.

“I care about each and every (student), and I want to do everything we can to make sure (they) have a wonderful experience and stay safe,” he said.

Why humanities matter Last month, The Lantern reported about a decline in enrollment for humanities majors.

Though Drake comes from a medical background, as he was an ophthalmologist specializing in glaucoma before taking on the role of university administrator, Drake emphasized the importance of promoting both humanities and STEM fields.

“I see that our responsibility as a comprehensive university is to support all points of inquiry,” Drake said.

He added that the undergraduate seminar that he is teaching this semester falls under humanities.

“I believe very much that humanities are a critical part of what we do as a university,” Drake said.

“Humanities, social sciences, the arts, all of those things that talk about who we are and how we interact with each other are critically important to what it means to be DRAKE CONTINUES ON 2

Buckeyes build houses in Honduras

A student team traveled to Honduras in January to participate in the Honduras Sustainable Housing Project.

EMILY LEHMKUHL Lantern reporter lehmkuhl.31@osu.edu

Coming together to create the Honduras Sustainable Housing Project, eight Ohio State students from four different areas of study are using the skills they learned in the classroom to do philanthropic work in Honduras.

Three business students, three civil engineering students, one architecture student and one construction systems management student make up the team traveling to Honduras in May to build a house.

The students have had a hand in every detail of the planning process, from choosing the materials to the layout of the house to selecting who will buy the finished product. Also, this project has the potential to bring money into Honduras’ economy and create a line of credit for the homeowner, said Kelsey Rumburg, a fourth-year in business.

“It’s one step, there’s many, many things that have to be done differently,” she said about the possibility of the project to boost the economy in Honduras.

OSU developing protocol for substance-abuse drug ALLISON BUGENSTEIN Lantern reporter bugenstein.4@osu.edu In the campus area, access to the opioid overdose-reversal drug, naloxone, has increased with the passing of House Bill 4, but Ohio State is lagging behind in the effort to make available the life-saving drug.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, adults ages 18-25 years old are at the highest risk for heroin addiction.

Between 2011 and 2013, heroin use was seen in 7.3 people per 1,000 people, a 109 percent increase from their measure in 2002-2004, which listed 3.5 people per 1,000 people having used heroin.

The bill, which passed last summer, “takes further strides in curtailing Ohio’s opioid epidemic,” according to a House release.

“This legislation will save lives in the State of Ohio, and make this life-saving medication more widely available,” Ohio Rep. Robert Sprague, a primary sponsor of the bill, said in the release.

Pharmacies across the state have already started selling the drug without a prescription, but the OfDRAKE FROM 1

After moving from quarters to semesters and a few other changes, Drake said OSU’s budget model “tended to maybe have some rough spots that (they) hadn’t expected, so (they’re) looking at those to make sure that (they) don’t penalize humanities and others in a way that (they) didn’t mean to.”

College affordability Drake also touted OSU’s increase in funding of affordability grants. Funding of the grants is set to rise $5 million, bringing next year’s total to $20 million.

Drake noted that OSU put itself on the line last year in saying it would provide $15 million in affordability grants before it knew where the money would come from.

“And next year we are going to do ($20 million). That’s really to

Pain medicine abuse and addiction are linked to heroin use. fice of Student Life Student Health Services have not yet established the protocols for availability.

“Each pharmacy must create their own protocol for dispensing the medication, and Student Life Student Health Services will develop it as part of an overall medication treatment program for individuals with a diagnosis of substance abuse disorder,” said Dave Isaacs, spokesman for the Office of Student Life, in an emailed statement.

Walgreens and CVS announced in respective press releases in February that both chains had made the drug available over the counter in

Ohio.

Ken Hale, associate director of the Higher Education Center for Alcohol and Drug Misuse Prevention and Recovery, said the misuse of prescription opioids, like the painkillers Vicodin and Oxycodone, are directly linked to heroin use. The CDC says that addiction to opioid painkillers makes someone 40 times more likely to use heroin.

“We know that the heroin epidemic we have in the U.S. is growing. House Bill 4 is a great step,” Hale said.

Hale said he hopes to see the

university establish a protocol for dispensing the drug without a prescription within a year. For now, if students want to get the drug because they or someone they know has an opioid substance-abuse problem, they can make an appointment at the student health center to get a prescription or go to one of the pharmacies located off campus.

“We have created the perfect storm,” Hale said. “Drugs are part of our culture, we have easy access to medications, and we have lots of misconceptions about using these drugs.”

In an effort to reduce opioid-related deaths and addiction, the CDC’s website offers information about opioids.

The student pharmacy at OSU is having a drug takeback day in April in an effort to get dangerous drugs out of the supply chain, Hale said.

Students are encouraged to bring their unfinished prescriptions so that they can be properly disposed.

is to create a sustainable solution to the current Honduras housing problem. By working with a local credit union and setting up a seed fund, Rumburg said she hopes this project will have the longevity to continue helping the citizens of Honduras buy and build their own homes eventually.

“Having a hot shower is such a privilege, and having running water, and clean water and a floor that isn’t dirt, things like that just completely changed my perspective on what I have and what the rest of the world has,” Rumburg said.

The project will be partially funded by a grant from Battelle and by money raised on the new crowdsourcing website, buckeyefunder. com. The Business of Good Foundation in Cleveland also agreed to match the money raised on the website, Rumburg said.

Rumberg was involved in a group that built a home in the area last summer, but this is the first year they are involving the credit union and having someone buy the home.

This year the team is building the house out of cement blocks instead of steel studs and Plyrock that last year’s team used, said Patrick Sours, a fifth-year in civil engineering. While the materials both have the same strength, the people of Honduras think cement blocks are stronger, Sours said.

“We have a lot of vision of what we think is best, but they have different visions,” Sours said.

“We didn’t want to build anything that would be considered unsafe

by American standards because a lot of times down there, they kind of build the houses with whatever materials they have, but we wanted to make sure that we were going to design and build something that was safe for the families,” Sours said.

The team is working on making drawings and plans, so that a small business owner in Honduras can use them to make more houses in the future, Loos said.

As May approaches, the team will prepare for the two-week project by building a smaller prototype on West Campus.

“It’s been a really good learning experience because we get to pull from (each other’s) strengths,” Loos said.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

My alma mater is too big to care My alma mater is too big to care. What has happened to me is going to happen to others if it has not already.

I am very disappointed by the Department of Athletics and the office of the secretary of the Board of Trustees for choosing not to respond, or even acknowledge, my repeated emails.

Coach Urban Meyer and Shelley Meyer’s giving is at a championship level. I had a suggestion I wanted to share with them. I thought that perhaps they might consider dividing future bonuses not only to OSU but a well-respected charity of their choice. To be as far reaching as possible, Urban Meyer could challenge other coaches of his elite stature to do the same. With his excellent broadcasting skills, he would be the perfect leader for this role. In my view, this would also be very good for the image of college

TOWN HALL FROM 1

to submit questions for the town hall, which both candidates “are scheduled to attend,” the email read.

In addition to those from students and other audience members, questions will come from the two moderators, CNN’s Jake Tapper and TV One’s Roland Martin. Sunday’s event will be in the same mold of the five other town halls CNN has hosted so far this election cycle, meaning one candidate will occupy the stage at time.

A university spokesman declined to offer details on how students and others hoping to attend can secure tickets, only saying those will be released in the coming days.

Michael Lakomy, president of the College Democrats and a third-year in accounting, said he is hoping the event will provide “a little more clarity” for the Ohio voters before the primary, especially given the state of the race.

“There’s a lot of people who aren’t used to having votes that matter in the primary for the Democratic nomination, so I think it will be a nice experience to help get to choose,” he said. “We choose the president, but we don’t always get to choose the nominee, so it will be a fun here in Ohio on both sides.”

David Stanislav, a third-year in chemical engineering and chairman of College Republicans, said he’s expecting both candidates to be well-received, given the fact that college campuses tend to be a liberal hotbed.

He said he also thinks Sunday’s forum is just a harbinger for what’s to come as the election cycle rolls on.

“I think that it was only natural that at some point the candidates were going to come to campus,” Stanislav said. “I think that we’re going to see a lot more of that to come … once the general election is here.”

Clinton and Sanders are both expected in the capital city earlier Sunday evening to speak at the Ohio Democratic Party Legacy

Emails have been written to the Department of Athletics, the president’s office, the President’s Club, the Alumni Association and the secretary of the Board of Trustees. I did receive a return email from Blake Thompson, the secretary of the board, saying he would look into my concern personally. I have had repeated contacts with his office to remind him of his commitment — but, nothing, not even a courtesy response, has been received.

Before I retired, I was a project leader with the National Wildlife Refuge System, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. As a public servant, I know firsthand that many contacts do not merit a personal response. But thanks to the computer age, all of those who take the time to contact the university deserve a po-

Indeed, not very difficult. That might be all that is needed!

I believe every contact is important to the athletic department and all university offices.

A person might be a devoted fan, a graduate, an endowment sponsor, a potential benefactor or a contrary, testy human being, but to receive absolutely no response is a bit arrogant and, I believe, sending the wrong message from my university, a public institution.

This too-big-to-care attitude is not very endearing!!

I was offended when my alma mater would not even take the time to respond with an automated generated email.

I am aware the athletic department donates a substantial sum of money to the university’s general fund. This should not be a free pass to complete independence from The

KEVIN STANKIEWICZ | ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR

Corey Bee, a Columbus native and the founder of Righno, prefers to keep the interior of his stores simple, a philosophy he developed in order to keep the focus on his products.

Bee founded his own clothing line, BRAMNEK, that he sells at Righno, but a majority of the products are from other brands he said he believes in. Classifying the type of apparel found at Righno isn’t an easy task, but it fits within Bee’s mindset to stay simple while avoiding trends.

He said he feels Righno and its offerings fit right in with the entire atmosphere of the Short North. Although Righno isn’t in the heart of the cultural district, Bee said the location near other clothing stores is helping boost the neighborhood’s northernmost tip.

Workers at the retailers near Righno are happy to have the store on High Street, too.

“It’s definitely positive,” said

Tyler Dodd, an employee at American Apparel, located nearly directly across the street from Righno. “People will start viewing this as more of a shopping destination.”

Jordan Chasteen, a manager at Out Of The Closet, a second-hand clothing retailer one address down from Righno, said “the more people that come in this area, the better.”

Righno is not confined to just Columbus, though. A store in Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine district just opened on March 1, and a store in a developing shopping hub on Cleveland’s East Side is set to open in October 2017.

COLUMBUS’ OWN

Osage lives feet from its studio ZAK KOLESAR Lantern reporter kolesar.25@osu.edu Three members of the groove-infused Columbus band Osage currently reside under the same roof. Upon stepping foot through the door to their home, there is a welcoming drum set where guests would normally kick off their shoes. To the right is a living room draped in Christmas lights and riddled with microphones, amplifiers and a keyboard — a makeshift environment for recording music.

The setup is relatively new to the house, yet necessary for a band aiming to release its first fulllength project this summer due to the burdening expenses of studio time and production. For guitarist Tony Capetillo, tenor saxophonist Hayden Huffman and alto and baritone saxophonist Faheem Najieb, monthly rent also serves as a substitute for recording studio rates.

“I love having everything in here at my disposal,” Capetillo said. “I can just walk downstairs and plug in my amp and play the guitar or sometimes play the bass if I want to.”

The freeform studio also operates as an intimate venue for friends and fans of the band. A few weekends ago, the band held an

Local band Osage, consisting of seven members total, performs live. impromptu show at the Osage residence for 50 or so people, Huffman said.

“I feel like we’re continuously having a band meeting,” guitarist and vocalist Chris Economos said.

“It doesn’t matter if we’re having a party or what’s going on, we’re talking about the band, the shows, how to make s--- better.”

“Which feeds into the excitement, which feeds into what happens on the stage,” Huffman added.

Despite the fact that the current seven-member ensemble has only been together for a few months, the band as a whole could not be happier with the collaborative vision of all the members.

“I would say one of the biggest differences between the past configuration and what’s happening now is the intensity and the different levels of energy throughout,” said Najieb, a 2015 Ohio State jazz studies graduate.

However, there are still original

COURTESY OF OSAGE

roots grounded in the foundation of Osage today. Bassist and vocalist Eddie Loomis has relationships with Capetillo, Economos and Huffman that date back to their childhoods in Granville, Ohio.

Although the Granville music scene is pretty sparse, Capetillo cited the unity of bluegrass groups in the Granville area as having perpetual influences on the band today. Members have been shuffled while others left on good terms, but since 2011, Osage has main-

tained the large-group dynamic.

An interesting aspect about the present makeup of Osage is the fusion of different influences. While those from Granville drew upon bluegrass influences, Najieb and latest additions, drummer Willie Barthel and keyboardist Robert Mason, all at one point have majored in jazz studies at OSU. “We just want to try and take from all of that and make it into something new without being pigeonholed as a band that just plays hardcore funk tunes,” said Loomis, a third-year in English and pre-education.

A day after Osage’s March 2 concert at Scarlet & Gray Cafe, the band’s members were gathered at the band’s “studio” in the room that an audience would usually commune in. While they were trying to put a finger on a specific sound for the band, Kendrick Lamar’s 2015 groovy hip-hop anthem “King Kunta” played at a whisper in the background.

The outro to the track — continuous cries of “We want the funk!”

— must have resonated with the band because a collaborative agreement emerged citing a need to create music that simply makes people move.

“I think it all comes back to the groove,” Najieb said. “The goal is OSAGE CONTINUES ON 6

Gateway returns to its roots with new series MITCH HOOPER Lantern reporter hooper.102@osu.edu While the world of cinema has nearly completely switched to filming digitally, the Gateway Film Center has created its own cinematic world in its new series, FilMM. FilMM will feature Hollywood hits filmed in 70- or 35-millimeter film, such as “Glengarry Glen Ross” with Alec Baldwin and the cult classic “Ghostbusters” with Bill Murray.

Johnny DiLoretto, director of communications at the Gateway, explained in an email how the series began following the screening of Quentin Tarantino’s newest film, “The Hateful Eight.” When given the chance to rent the proper equipment to show the film in 70 millimeters, DiLoretto and the Gateway decided they were in it for the long haul and bought the

equipment. Thus, the FilMM series is here to stay.

“We’re devoted to the art of cinema,” DiLoretto said. “We love movies of every persuasion in all their different forms; we felt we owed it to our audience to give them the chance to see their favorite films in their original formats.”

As for the slate of upcoming movies in the series, some of the bigger names include “Top Gun” starring Tom Cruise in 70 millimeters, and the original “Jaws” in 35 millimeters.

DiLoretto explained that reel film is more fluid than digital film when viewing. He likened it to listening to a vinyl record because it still has a dreamlike flicker and warmth that audiences still love.

Khalid Moalim, a fourth-year in communication and theater, has experience with film, as he just finished his own short film. Although he mostly uses digital, filming in 70 or 35 millimeters is a challenge he’s familiar with and respects as a filmmaker.

“Only confident actors and directors use film because, unlike digital, you only have a certain amount of film, so you can’t do take after take,” Moalim said.

Along with Tarantino’s “The Hateful Eight,” Christopher No-

“We felt we owed it to our audience to give them the chance to see their favorite films in their original forms.”

lan’s “Interstellar” was also filmed in 70 millimeters. Digital film might be the most dominant in the film industry, but a handful of premier filmmakers still hold on to this classic film style.

Another film in the FilMM series is the 1962 dramatic adventure “Lawrence of Arabia,” which won seven Academy Awards, including Best Film Editing and Best Picture. The film takes place during World War I in the Middle East, which adds to the cinematography.

DiLoretto said he is especially excited for this screening, which he describes as “breathtaking.”

“It will be as close as you can get to experiencing it for the first time — to bask in the glow of those brilliant, desert landscapes,” DiLoretto said.

The next in the FilMM series is “2001: A Space Odyssey,” starting on Friday. The series schedule can be found on the Gateway’s website.

to make the crowd and make music feel good, so no matter what kind of style — bluegrass, rock, soul, jazz, hip-hop, R&B — it’s all about whether it sounds good at the moment and what feels good.”

Barthel, a second-year in jazz studies, mentioned that Osage’s recent show at Scarlet & Gray kept a Columbus crowd dancing until 2 a.m. with more than 15 tunes.

Marathon performances have become quite common for the band.

Osage has been playing almost two shows every week, which the band members said is a great experience and exposure for the group leading up to the release of its debut album.

Living together helps eliminate some problems with gathering the band for practice and builds musical comfort among the members.

“We just want to draw on people’s emotions but do that in a positive way,” Economos said. “I hadn’t always thought about it in the past, but what’s happening now is really nice because I feel like we do all have equal parts in building the songs up or trying new writing methods.”

Osage is set to perform at 1 a.m. on Saturday at Woodlands Tavern for a chance to play in the Summer Camp Music Festival in Illinois.

end of February. Bee said it was hard to leave the city where Righno’s first physical location was, but he “had to do it” due to a failure to find reliable staff.

Bee said he’s hoping to one day bring Righno back to its roots in Indianapolis, but he’s not sure when.

In the meantime, he’ll continue growing his brand in his home state while remembering Righno’s core principles.

“I’m always trying to bring in new things people need,” Bee said.

“I’m not trying to keep up with the trends, just the lifestyle.”

Righno is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from noon to 5 p.m. Sunday.

minutes. In the 27 games this season in which Taylor logged north of 20 minutes, his 11-point outing against the Buckeyes was tied for his second-lowest scoring total.

Singling out one cause for the woes wouldn’t be fair, but the suffocating defense that OSU sophomore forward Jae’Sean Tate supplied certainly trammeled Taylor.

On Thursday, however, keeping Penn State’s leading scorer in check won’t be as easy as assigning Tate to follow Taylor wherever he goes. That is, of course, because Tate is out for the season after having shoulder surgery on Feb. 26.

It’s a prime example of why regular-season games can’t be too much of the focus entering tournament time. Both teams are now playing with a different deck than they were in Columbus.

The Buckeyes certainly have no shortage of wing defenders — freshman forward Mickey Mitchell, Bates-Diop and Loving, to name a few — but all pale in comparison to Tate on the defensive end.

Taylor is the type of player who “can get going at any given moment,” Matta said, and what makes slowing him down laborious is the fact that other perimeter players, such as sophomore guard Shep Garner, can score the basketball, too.

Garner was hobbled by an ankle injury in the January, but he’s been hot as of late. In his past five games, he’s averaging 19.8 points and 4.8 rebounds per contest.

His play, coupled with the fact that Taylor won’t have to deal with Tate’s peskiness, present an interesting challenge for the Buckeyes.

“Obviously, on Thursday we’re going to have to have the same type of effort (from the first meeting), same type of focus of not letting those guys get going,” Matta said.

Up next The winner of Thursday’s game will advance to take on No. 2 seed Michigan State. That game is set for Friday at 6:30 p.m.

ties, juniors Erick Smith and Cam Burrows. Meyer said Burrows will go “a little bit later” in the spring while Erick Smith will not take part in live action but is doing runthroughs. Both safeties were lost for the season midway through 2015.

Some of the other banged-up players Meyer mentioned include junior cornerback Damon Webb, who has a “slight muscle strain” but is expected to return after spring break, and redshirt junior defensive end Tyquan Lewis, who is “done” for the spring with a shoulder injury.

He also said freshman offensive lineman Tyler Gerald and redshirt freshman linebacker Nick Conner are out for the spring, while redshirt freshman linebacker Justin Hilliard is currently unable to tackle with a bicep injury. Another true freshman, defensive end Malik Barrow, is also out for the spring with a knee injury.

Following Zeke Of the 16 starters who departed Columbus shortly after the Fiesta Bowl in January, it is difficult to argue that any is a more potent loss than Ezekiel Elliott.

The running back carried the ball for more than 1,800 yards in 2015 and added 23 touchdowns.

His blocking ability and passion for the game were also sources of

pride that Meyer brought up time and time again throughout last season.

Alas, Elliott is awaiting his NFL draft selection in late April, and OSU must move on with finding his replacement.

While Meyer said he expects four players to see a significant number of carries in practice and throughout the season, he singled out two as the candidates for the starting job: redshirt senior Bri’onte Dunn and redshirt freshman Mike Weber, with the coach giving the former a slight edge based on seniority.

A pair of H-backs, Samuel and senior Dontre Wilson, are expected to also get reps at running back, Meyer said, though he plans to use both more in a receiver role.

“I’d see four guys carrying the ball for us right now in the fall,” Meyer said.

Area to monitor During spring and summer practice a year ago, Meyer mentioned the offensive and defensive lines as the areas he had the most concern about.

Now, he is still keeping a very close eye on one of those units.

After losing three of the four starters on the defensive line, including All-American Joey Bosa, coupled with Lewis being out for the spring, Meyer said there could

OSU then-redshirt sophomore quarterback J.T. Barrett (16) during a game against Michigan on Nov. 28. be a lot of movement along the defensive-line depth chart between now and September.

Two of the players who Meyer is counting on to step up are yet to even stand on the sideline of a college football game as anything other than a prospective recruit: Nick Bosa and Jonathon Cooper.

“D-line is the one where there has to be a year of development. … I think we’re counting on one guy who’s not here yet, Bosa, he’s going to be in the rotation. Cooper, he’s probably going to be in the rotation,” Meyer said.

Nick Bosa, the younger brother of Joey, and Cooper were each considered five-star defensive end prospects, with Cooper already arriving on campus as an early

enrollee. Bosa is still recovering from an ACL tear he sustained in November.

With those two, along with Lewis and redshirt sophomore Sam Hubbard occupying the ends of the line, Meyer said a pair of players who are “going to have to play for us” have been shifted to the interior: redshirt freshmen Jashon Cornell and Dre’Mont Jones.

After Tuesday’s drills, there are 13 more spring practices, which are all building toward OSU’s annual spring game. The scrimmage is set to be played at Ohio Stadium on April 16.

Knighten leads the Big Ten in batting with 11 home runs and a .473 batting average. The junior was named Big Ten Player of the Week last month after a strong showing in Iowa. Also delivering at the plate for Nebraska (12-4) is senior outfielder Kiki Stokes with a .435 batting average, and senior infielder Alicia Armstrong with 15 RBIs. Nebraska sits in the middle of the conference in pitching and is led by junior right-hander Cassidy McClure with 33 strikeouts. The right-hander and the three other pitchers for the Huskers have a combined ERA of 3.11.

The Scarlet and Gray finish their outing in Arizona with a matchup against Arizona State (18-5).

The No. 19 Sun Devils have eight batters hitting over .350, half of whom have RBI totals in the double digits. Freshman first baseman Ulufa Leilua has a .903 slugging percentage, while senior infielder Nikki Girard has seven doubles

and three homers.

OSU’s defense has been effective in getting out of tough situations with big hitters like Leilua at the plate, something Schoenly mentioned as a key to the Buckeyes’ success this weekend.

“We are looking for our pitchers to continue limiting teams to a few runs a game,” Schoenly said. “The key for our defense will be to limit the opponents’ big innings and for us to have timely hitting.”

Schoenly also praised sophomore third baseman Ashley Goodwin’s constant awareness of the field to stop opponents’ offenses from scoring.

Up next The Buckeyes are scheduled to face San Diego State in a single game on March 16 before facing four opponents at the San Diego State Tournament from March 17 to 20. OSU’s matchup against the Aztecs is slated to begin at 9 p.m.

which will help prepare OSU’s batters for the subsequent energetic efforts from the mound.

“We will be facing some of the toughest pitchers in the country over the next (nine) games, and it will be great to see who rises to the challenge,” she said.

Seven Dukes are hitting above .350, five of whom have started all 18 games. Senior Erica Field is off to another stellar season after breaking four program single-season and three career records last season. The catcher’s career batting average of .359 rivals OSU senior catcher Cammi Prantl’s .342, which is the top mark among Buckeye starters.

Georgetown (5-11) is OSU’s only unranked opponent in Arizona. As such, Schoenly said the Buckeyes are hoping to take advantage at the plate in Game 2 on Friday after likely having to grind out hits against James Madison’s pitching staff.

The Buckeye offense will face a struggling Hoya pitching staff, which has a combined ERA of 6.83. Georgetown’s three pitchers have also walked more than twice the number of batters they have struck out.

Senior Samantha Giovanniello leads the Hoyas with five home runs and 19 RBIs, which is just two short of her 2015 total.

The Buckeyes’ own offensive weakness continues to be stranding runners, something that could make a difference in a tight game.

“The few games we have lost, we had many baserunners during the game,” Schoenly said. “We just needed a timely hit here and there.”

OSU is scheduled to play its only game Saturday against No. 23 Nebraska, which is currently ranked second in the Big Ten, while the Buckeyes sit at fourth in the conference.

WIN OR GO HOME An ‘interesting matchup’ vs. Penn State awaits OSU men’s basketball KEVIN STANKIEWICZ Assistant Sports Editor stankiewicz.16@osu.edu Since early November, the Ohio State men’s basketball team has been trudging through a 31-game swamp of a regular season, its caliber of play seemingly as unpredictable as the Ohio weather.

The Buckeyes’ future went from being grayscale amid an early three-game losing skid to technicolor after they stunned then-No. 4 Kentucky before fading fast into an unidentifiable palette during conference play.

Yet now the regular season, and all its confusion, has concluded, and seventh-seeded OSU (19-12, 11-7) has been allotted a chance to start over Thursday in the Big Ten tournament against 10th-seeded Penn State.

The game, which is scheduled to tip off at 6:30 p.m. in Indianapolis, is the epitome of a make-or-break situation for the Buckeyes. OSU not only needs a victory to advance in the tournament, but a first-round exit would, effectively, end all its chances of an NCAA tournament berth.

“I think that mostly our guys have a pretty good understanding that you’re entering into a tournament that if you don’t win, you go home,” OSU coach Thad Matta said Monday on the Big Ten coaches teleconference. “The level should be raised in terms of how we want to play and how we want to compete.”

OSU enters the conference tournament on the heels of two double-digit losses to now-second-ranked Michigan State with a victory over then-No. 8 Iowa sandwiched in between.

Thad Matta OSU men’s basketball coach

The Nittany Lions (16-15, 7-11) wander into the Bankers Life Fieldhouse winners of five of their last eight games, headlined by wins over eventual regular-season conference champion Indiana and then-No. 4 Iowa.

On Jan. 25 in Columbus, the two teams met for the lone regular-season matchup, which OSU won by 20 points. But in tournament play, putting too much weight on previous meetings can be dangerous, especially since the two teams are playing differently now.

“They’re obviously a much better basketball team than when we

played them a month ago, and our guys will be well aware of that from film,” Matta said.

Added Penn State coach Pat Chambers: “We’re really two different teams … it should be an interesting matchup.”

Burden of youth The Buckeyes are nearly bereft of upperclassmen, with junior forward Marc Loving being the sole one. That inexperience hurt them during the regular season, and Matta said he understands it might play a role again Thursday.

Of the 10 players on OSU’s active roster, seven have yet to log a min-

ute in a Big Ten tournament. The three who have are Loving, sophomore forward Keita Bates-Diop and redshirt sophomore guard Kam Williams.

To compensate, the coach said pristine performances in practice leading up to Thursday’s matchup are of heavy emphasis.

“We want to have the best practice we’ve had all year and be as good as we can possibly be going into this tournament,” he said.

Who will take Taylor?

In the first meeting, both teams struggled at times but particularly, Nittany Lion senior Brandon Taylor had a tough time on that wintery evening.

The forward struggled to engineer anything offensively, finishing the night with 11 points on 5-of-16 shooting and two rebounds in 36 BASKETBALL CONTINUES ON 7

OSU to battle 4 teams in Arizona ANGELIA HEIMSOTH Lantern reporter heimsoth.1@osu.edu After a week off, the Ohio State softball team (9-4) is set to head west to Tempe, Arizona, for the Louisville Slugger Invitational hosted by Arizona State. The Buckeyes are slated to face four opponents, three of which are ranked in the USA Today Top 25 poll.

OSU’s first matchup is scheduled to begin Friday at 1 p.m. against James Madison (17-1).

At this juncture in the season, the Buckeyes have faced only one ranked team, a loss to then-No. 3 LSU, so the weekend looks primed to be stuffed with a string of intense contests.

“This spring trip will probably be the toughest stretch of (nine) games we will play this year before

postseason play,” said OSU coach Kelly Kovach Schoenly, looking ahead to both this weekend and next week’s five-game trip to San Diego.

Sizing up the opponents James Madison is the Buckeyes’ highest-ranked opponent this weekend, moving from its preseason ranking of No. 19 to No. 10 after its successful start. The Dukes are 4-1 against other ranked teams, including a 3-2 win over No. 3 Auburn in February.

James Madison poses a threat from the mound because of the forceful duo of sophomore Megan Good and senior Jailyn Ford. Both pitchers have an ERA below 1.00, and Good has struck out 70 batters in her 13 appearances.

Schoenly is cognizant of the Dukes’ powerhouse pitching staff, Members of the OSU softball team.

3 notes after the start of spring practice RYAN COOPER Sports Editor cooper.487@osu.edu If the temperature eclipsing 70 degrees in Columbus wasn’t enough of a sign that spring is on the doorstep, Ohio State made it clear with the first of its spring practices on Tuesday.

After working through drills during the morning, OSU coach Urban Meyer addressed the media at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.

Here are three key takeaways from the coach’s media session.

Not quite ready With the rather quick turnaround from the culmination of the previous season to the beginning of spring workouts and practices, it stands to reason that several players who dealt with injuries during the season or offseason might not be ready for action right away.

“D-line is the one (area) where there has to be a year of development.”

Urban Meyer OSU football coach

COURTESY OF OSU

For the Buckeyes, that number of players is in the double digits.

Meyer said 11 players who figure to be significant contributors in 2016 are not yet ready to practice full speed or at all. That number includes OSU’s top three receivers on the depth chart: redshirt sophomore Noah Brown, redshirt senior Corey Smith and junior Curtis Samuel. Meyer said Brown and Smith will not be able to play at all in the spring.

The coach said another receiver, redshirt freshman K.J. Hill, can do everything but catch as he deals with a wrist injury.
