TEDxOSU aims to reconstruct reality CAMERON CARR For The Lantern carr.613@osu.edu This Saturday, the fifth annual TEDxOhioStateUniversity will bring a series of talks and performances centered on this year’s theme, “Reconstructing Reality,” to a sold-out Mershon Auditorium.

The event will feature students, faculty and alumni from diverse backgrounds sharing their ideas in relation to the theme. The event is sold out but can be livestreamed at tedx.osu.edu/livestream/ at 1 p.m. on Saturday.

“I look at reconstructing reality, and it can essentially mean anything you want it to,” said TEDxOSU communications director Avish Jain, a fourth-year in biology. “Reality is both tangible and nontangible. It’s everything that we see and everything that we ignore.”

Following the format of the popular TED conference, TEDxOSU will present varying perspectives and ideas that audience members might not have previously considered.

“It’s a day where you’re not just listening to talks or watching a performance, but it’s a day where you are truly inspired to do something more,” Jain said.

After selecting this year’s theme, the organization went through an application process beginning in October to select the most appropriate speakers and performers.

One of those speakers will be Bria Davis, a fourth-year in communication. Davis said she was inspired to get involved after attending her first TEDx event as a

freshman.

“I turned to one of my best friends because it was so cool and was like, ‘I want to give one of these before I graduate,’” she said. “I just decided this year that I hadn’t applied and I probably should.”

Davis — who is triple-minoring in creative writing, art and pop culture — incorporated her coursework and personal passions while preparing her talk. Her presentation will focus on superheroes and underrepresentation of certain groups in the media.

“Representation is really import-

ant for pretty much everyone that isn’t a white guy,” Davis said. “Everyone deserves to be a hero, not just affluent white dudes like Tony Stark.”

By focusing on a part of the media that most people are familiar with, Davis said she hopes to connect with the majority of audience members.

“I think that TED talks, in general, are really good at presenting interesting ideas that people might not encounter in their everyday life in a really accessible way,” Davis said. “If I were to walk into a bio-

chemistry class in the middle of a lecture, I’d probably zone out and have no idea what was happening, but if that professor were to give a TED talk and make it more of a narrative and simplify things down, I think I would learn.”

John Carlarne, peace studies coordinator at OSU, will adapt his typical lecture format to present his own talk for TEDxOSU. “It’s going to be a challenge to get it into 10 minutes,” he said.

Carlarne, raised in Nairobi, Kenya and London, said he will draw from his research in addition to his experiences as a British Army officer, police officer and activist for his talk.

“My reality was deconstructed by working 20 years ago in wartorn societies,” he said. “People seem to adapt to that situation TEDX CONTINUES ON 2

Ohio State is taking an active role in supporting a deal struck on Feb. 22 between the U.S. and Canada to help reduce the harmful algae-feeding phosphorus entering Lake Erie by 40 percent.

The two countries will work to develop action plans to meet their goals.

Christopher Winslow, the interim director for the Ohio Sea Grant College Program, spoke about the large algal blooms in Lake Erie that led to the decision to promote reduction. The program is based on research, education and outreach in regard to Lake Erie, he said.

“What we’ve got going on is we have an excess input of nutrients into Lake Erie, specifically phosphorus … the blooms happen because this organism, which is naturally occurring in the lake … is able to grow in bloom conditions or excess conditions because there are excess nutrients in the water,” Winslow said.

Excess phosphorus is able to enter the lake through agricultural runoff from fertilizers and manure, failing septic tanks and waste treatment plants that become inundated with too much sewage, Winslow said.

Winslow called this a health hazard.

Capstone of the community CARLEE FRANK Lantern reporter frank.442@osu.edu Each year, Marketing Strategy, a capstone course taught by Shashi Matta, an associate professor of marketing at Fisher College of Business, partners with one local for-profit company and one nonprofit organization to provide free marketing advice to the organizations and real-world experience to Ohio State students.

While all marketing students must complete this capstone course, Matta said that it goes much further than that.

“This course offers students real-world experience and a résumé boost, which doesn’t happen in a typical class setting,” he said.

Matta chooses the organizations that the students will work with, but sometimes the

organizations reach out to him. A past student of Matta’s, Steven Werman, current chief financial officer for the clothing store Homage, contacted Matta to partner with the capstone class in Spring 2014.

Matta has also worked with Quilts of Valor Foundation, a food service program that supplies meals to Columbus City Schools.

The foundation sews quilts for war veterans, and the Columbus Symphony Orchestra.

Matta said students are split into roughly eight teams with six people per team. Each group works with the same company, competing to create the best marketing plan.

The companies meet with the students three times throughout the semester: during the first week in order to explain what marketing problems they are facing, halfway through the semester to check on progress, and at the end of the year to choose which student team had the strongest strategies.

Cory Woodhall, a 2015 OSU alumnus with a degree in marketing, was one of the winning students when Matta’s class partnered

Woodhall said that Matta really pushed his students to achieve excellence in this course.

Kickin’ it with the Kendo Club HANNAH ROTH Lantern reporter roth.514@osu.edu Learning the ways of the samurai and making new friends while doing it: That is what the Kendo Club at Ohio State does.

Dennie Patton, a graduate student in physics and president of the Kendo Club, said that kendo means “the way of the sword” in Japanese.

“It’s literally what samurai trained in; after samurai swords were taken away in Japan, they wanted to keep their art alive, so they started practicing with wooden bamboo,” he said. “And then it’s the same sort of military tradition and fighting style that was taught to armies back in the day in Japan.”

Kendo is about training with the sword and also about training the mind and spirit, Patton said. People who practice kendo, known as kendoka, need to know how to remain calm and perform in good spirit.

OSU’s Kendo Club is a part of the East Central United States Kendo Federation, which hosts regional kendo tournaments. The next one is set to be held at Eastern Kentucky University on March 12 and 13, according to the ECUSKF

Competitions are full contact, and the kendoka wear bogu, or armor, and use a shinai, or the kendo sword. The outfit is flexible and allows competitors to simulate combat with full power without really hurting their opponent. Points are awarded to those who would have killed their opponents in real battle without getting killed in the process.

“Even though you’re trying to win, you’re not allowed to express it … there’s like a lot of respect and code-of-honor type stuff,” said Eunice Park, a first-year in exploration and vice president of the club.

At these tournaments, there are two different ways of competing: as individuals fighting one-on-one or team competitions. The one-onone competitions are single elimination matches, and the first person to two points wins the match, said Justin Angra, a fifth-year in physics and mathematics. The team fights, however, are done differently.

“These blooms have the potential to produce toxins, and that toxin is pretty dangerous. It is actually known to be more toxic than things like cyanide and ricin,” Winslow said. “If it is at a certain level, and it is consumed by humans, it can cause neurological damage; it can cause liver damage, and, at a minor scale, it can cause skin rashes.”

Jay Martin, a professor in the Department of Food, Agricultural and Biological Engineering, described in an email other ways that phosphorus can be hazardous.

“The toxins can directly harm human health and have led to multiple drinking water bans, most notable in Toledo in 2014.

Other impacts include beach closures and accumulation of toxins in Lake Erie gamefish,” Martin said. “I will also note that this is a statewide and national issue. Last year, blooms occurred in multiple (Ohio) reservoirs and the Ohio River and other places around the country and world.”

In the face of this proposal to reduce phosphorus levels, Winslow spoke about what OSU is doing to aid in research efforts.

The Ohio Sea Grant College Program donated $500,000 to researchers at Ohio universities to research harmful algal blooms, and Bruce McPheron, the interim executive vice president and provost of OSU, has given $1 million to five different researchers at OSU working on projects surrounding the issue. The Ohio Department of Higher Education has also giv-

literally, for Kentucky at least, it’s last man standing, so the first person goes in and they stay in until they actually go out,” said Angra, who is also a member of the Kendo Club.

At these tournaments, members can also test to achieve one of eight ranks. For the majority of these tests there is a written exam, and participants have to take part in a sparring match. If they pass the sparring, then they go on to per-

forming the kata, which are different patterns that show the kendoka’s swordsmanship.

Kendo Club practices Tuesday and Thursday from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. in MPR4 East. Sunday practice is from noon to 2 p.m. in MPR5 (A200).

“It’s a great challenge, physically and mentally, you get to meet a lot of people and you get to learn about a lot of things, like the area and culture of Japan,” Angra said.

en a total of $4 million over the past two years, and the majority has gone toward OSU researchers working on the problem, Winslow said.

“The EPA and Environment Canada are currently working on what are called their domestic action plans, so they are really trying to say, ‘OK, we have set 40 percent as the number we need to get to, so how are we going to get there?’

The EPA right now is trying to craft the mechanism on how we get there,” Winslow said. “That is being drafted by consulting with Ohio State University researchers and with Ohio Sea Grant, so the work we are doing is informing (these) domestic action plans.”

Martin said that the project could take more than a decade to reach completion.

“It will probably take at least a decade to reduce the amount of nutrients reaching the lake to an acceptable level,” he said. “The governors of (Ohio) and (Michigan) and the leader of Ontario have signed an agreement to reach this reduction by 2025, so there is a timetable.”

the CSO more relevant,” Matta said.

Woodhall said that his team observed the symphony, surveyed audience members and spoke to board members to discover how they could best help the CSO. Matta said that Woodhall and his team came up with many ways to confront the barrier preventing young people and young families from potentially enjoying the symphony, such as employing Disney-themed events.

While students have worked with nonprofits and for-profits, Matta said it is the nonprofits that truly create the best experience.

He said that it is very important to give back to the community, especially because OSU is positioned perfectly to give back, but also because of nonprofits’ typically small budgets.

“They have limited resources and budgets, so it forces students to think of very innovative and strong solutions,” Matta said. “That’s where the best forms of creativity come out.”

Companies implement their favorite elements of students’ work,

and often express their gratitude for its success. Matta said they sometimes reward students with food vouchers, coupons and even positions on the board.

Matta said he will continue to teach Marketing Strategies and partner with local businesses.

“These are businesses getting free marketing advice and students getting hands-on experience. It’s a win-win,” Matta said.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Lantern Classifieds

The importance of political parody Let me be the first to say that it is admirable for any student to take part in campus leadership. The Undergraduate Student Government members that I know personally are talented and driven individuals who want to do whatever they can to improve the Ohio State experience for all current and future Buckeyes.

I also understand that it is extremely difficult for a student government to enact real, quantifiable change. It takes a lot of patience and initiative to work with an administration that ultimately holds the power to act unilaterally — regardless of student input.

Judging by the voter turnout in USG elections, which hovers somewhere below 25 percent of undergraduate enrollment, it’s fair to say that the majority of my fellow students don’t much care about who represents them. And after the perennial cycles of lofty campaign platforms seemingly being followed by an utter lack of perceptible changes, can you blame them? It shouldn’t come as a surprise that the majority of students welcome USG election season with a collective eye-roll.

This year, as The Lantern has covered, there is such a lack of interest that only one presidential ticket is appearing on the USG ballot. Which is why I think humorous write-in campaigns such as Stavroula Pabst’s are a breath of fresh air.

Though Pabst’s campaign is clearly a satire, poking fun at the political process is a way to get people to pay at least some attention to the USG elections. Students who may not otherwise have given USG a

REVIEW

New HBO series ‘Vinyl’ is raw and legendary KYJAH CORYAT Senior Lantern reporter coryat.1@osu.edu Martin Scorsese, Mick Jagger, Rich Cohen and Terence Winter wrote a show for HBO about the music business in the ‘70s. No, this isn’t a joke.

“Vinyl,” which premiered on Feb. 14, mixes the drama of “Mad Men” with the cinematography styling of an Academy Award-winning film.

There’s a reason the show got renewed after its first episode aired.

“Vinyl” pulls its weight in the twohour season premiere on the same caliber that “The Wire” and “The Sopranos” have.

Currently on its third episode, “Vinyl” doesn’t use Woodstock as a precursor to hint about the rock ‘n’ roll movement. It articulates the industry and the time period as it once was: raw and legendary.

Festival put on for performers, philanthropy MITCH HOOPER Lantern reporter hooper.102@osu.edu Local, regional and international performers are given the chance to display their arts at the all-day festival, Live at the Garden.

The fifth edition of the bi-annual event will be spanning three stages and the lobby of the Garden Theater in the Short North, with more than 50 artists performing music, poetry and various forms of performance art. Although Live at the Garden began as a place for just musicians to make a name for themselves, Sandeep Sehbi, founder of the event, says it has blossomed into an event that showcases all varieties of performing arts.

Sehbi has been involved with music festivals and performing arts for roughly four to five years from playing in bands, recording music and helping organize other events. Originally from the United Kingdom, Sehbi said he feels he has a global perspective. Having attended big name festivals such as Coachella and Warped Tour, he believes Live at the Garden has potential beyond just Columbus.

“Live at the Garden is an opportunity to do something that is influenced around the world and

“It’s a fine arts performance event to celebrate the rich art culture we have in this city and others around.”

around the country,” Sehbi said.

“We incorporated fine arts so that it can grow into something here in Columbus.”

Sehbi went on to explain that many of the acts are regional and local, but the event has grown to the international level. Sehbi said he was very excited for the event when he secured the headliner band, Stuck On Planet Earth, which is from Canada and at one point held the No. 1 song on the Canadian Broadcast Radio.

Nathan Grosh, director of Live at the Garden, explained how each year the event changes. In the first year, it was predominately just music, but since then they have put more emphasis on different types of performing arts, such as poetry and street performers, along with growing from one stage to three.

Have mercy! Those were the words that went through my head when I got wind that “Full House” was being remade on Netflix.

So many questions went through my head. Would it be the same stars all grown up? Would it take place in the same house? Would the hot and sexy Uncle Jesse once again be on my screen? All of these can be answered with, “Yes.” I, like most people my age, grew

Well, not most people; some people thought the show lacked drama or great acting, but come on, it was a family sitcom. The show may not have won any Emmy Awards, but that wasn’t the show’s goal. The goal was to bring families and friends together to watch a 30-minute

feel-good comedy about a fictional family’s lives, problems and experiences.

Let’s be honest: Nobody back in the ‘80s and ‘90s ever said, “Hey ‘Full House’ is TV’s greatest program,” and I don’t think the producers back then ever cared for people to do so. Yet it didn’t stop most people from tuning in every

week to catch up with their favorite TV family. It certainly didn’t stop me.

I loved watching “Full House” as a kid. I can honestly say I have seen every episode, some multiple times.

It was the type of show that I could relate to, coming from a big family.

I loved the Tanner sisters; finding common problems I shared, even

with a fictional character, helped me through my younger and more vulnerable years.

The show was just what it was meant to be: a feel-good show directed toward people of all ages and especially families. And now, 29 years later, that’s exactly what “Fuller House” set out to do.

REVIEW

Don’t judge ‘Love’ series by its name MITCH HOOPER Lantern reporter hooper.102@osu.edu From the man who wrote “The 40 Year Old Virgin” and “Knocked Up” comes an original series where Judd Apatow brings “Love” to Netflix.

“Love” combines comedy and drama —cleverly named “dramedy” — with fresh faces and an addictive storyline. The series is 10 episodes long with each episode roughly 30 to 40 minutes each, and it is worthy of your next binge-watch session. The actors in the show, Paul Rust as Gus Cruikshank and Gillian Jacobs as Mickey Dobbs, seem down to earth and believably authentic in their roles.

The show is centered on Cruikshank, the shy pushover, and Dobbs, the girl with a hardened exterior, as they go through life facing the struggles of relationships throughout the series. The show does a great job in the first episode establishing the characters’ personalities and underlying problems in their lives, but the way the show intertwines plots is what hooks you in and makes it binge worthy.

Paul Rust (left) and Gillian Jacobs in “Love.”

Aside from Jacobs, who played Britta Perry on “Community,” and Paul Rust, who played Dennis Cooverman in “I Love You, Beth Cooper,” the show doesn’t have any big name actors. And it works. With a new television series comes new faces, and not recognizing many actors or actresses in the show is refreshing because you don’t associate anyone for a previous character they played.

The team of Apatow and Rust, who is also a writer for “Love,” makes for hilariously awkward situations that anyone who’s been in

an up-and-down relationship can relate to. The way the characters react with candid facial expressions and bursts of brutal outbreaks really captivates the joys and pains of dating.

Season one of “Love” is relatively new to Netflix, being added in the recent update in February.

The show has been out for almost a month now and has maintained an 87 percent on the Tomatometer on Rotten Tomatoes. In comparison, another popular Netflix original, “Narcos: Season One” holds a 78 percent. Although there is only

for two years now, and added that he feels this is a great chance for local artists.

“It’s a fine arts performance event to celebrate the rich art culture we have in this city and others around,” Grosh said.

After growing into a much larger event, Sehbi and Grosh both agreed it was the perfect opportunity to give back. Not only does a portion of the money raised go back to the artists who perform, it also goes into charities. This year, part of the profits will be donated to London2Calais, an organization that uses donation money for food and water for refugees in France, where it has already raised $1,000.

“In its original form, it was an opportunity to create stage time for artists in the city that weren’t given the chance to display or perform their arts,” Sehbi said. “Since then, the idea is to create supportive spaces for artists to do arts, but the secondary role is to invest back. It’s a two-prong event.”

In addition, Live at the Garden will be offering presale tickets where fans can buy tickets to support their favorite band. If fans buy tickets in the name of a specific band, a portion of that ticket sale will go back to the artist.

What the future holds for Live at the Garden is still to be determined, but Sehbi said he appreciates everything that’s happened thus far.

“I want to thank the community for being so supportive of the festival,” he said. “The town is an exciting place, and it’s in a rapid growth phase. It’s an exciting time to be an artist in Columbus.”

Was it everything I hoped for and more? Yes and no.

The show starts off slow, allowing for all the old catchphrases, reintroducing old characters, introducing new ones and bringing up old jokes and more. It’s what you would expect: witty.

I’ll admit, halfway through the first episode, the thought crossed my mind that maybe as an adult this type of comedy and show wouldn’t be as funny or relatable.

Finestra’s entrepreneurial spirit for music is the essence of the show.

Despite showcasing the ‘70s bluntly, “Vinyl” isn’t a series about social change. “Vinyl” highlights the diversity of the ‘70s.

The show, like its original, has a spark.

No, it’s not award-winning in nature, and no, it’s not the best acting, but it wasn’t 29 years ago, either.

“Fuller House” is just that — fuller. More characters, more comedy, more life lessons and more fun. For those who liked the original, the remake is a must watch.

LACROSSE

Buckeyes host three teams in Midwest Lacrosse Classic ZACHARY KONNO Lantern reporter konno.8@osu.edu After rediscovering its winning ways on Friday, the Ohio State men’s lacrosse team now turns its attention to the Midwest Lacrosse Classic, where it will host Marquette, Bellarmine and Detroit at Ohio Stadium in a weekend full of lacrosse action.

OSU senior defender Robby Haus said he is excited to be able to stay home again this weekend and play in the ‘Shoe.

“I think any time a team comes to Ohio, we like to think we have an advantage, in terms of we’re going to defend our home turf,” Haus said.

The Buckeyes (3-1) have already played Detroit this year — a 16-5 win on Feb. 13 — so instead they’re set to play Marquette on Friday and Bellarmine on Sunday.

OSU coach Nick Myers said he has respect for No. 17 Marquette, which is coming into the weekend with a 2-0 record.

“I think looking at them on film, it’s a team from their goal all the way through their attack that’s very well coached and very talented,” Myers said. “We’re going to have to play our very best lacrosse.”

A point of focus for the Scarlet and Gray will be stopping Marquette senior attacker Conor Gately. He was named to second-team All-Big East last year and is the program’s all-time points leader.

Although the team will partly be focusing on Gately and his team, Haus said the predominate focus comes internally.

“A lot of our flaws right now that we’re dealing with are just little schematics that can easily be fixed,” Haus said. “So, right now, that’s our main focus — trying to get us better and focus on how we’re going to be the best that we can be as a team.”

After playing Marquette, the Buckeyes are scheduled to take on Bellarmine on Sunday.

The Knights come into the week-

end on a three-game losing streak, which is why OSU senior defender Chris Mahoney said the visitors will be playing with a chip on their shoulders.

“I think they’re going to come out with all engines firing,” Mahoney said. “They certainly have to prove themselves, as we do, too.”

Mahoney, however, said he believes his team is up to the task.

“We haven’t had a demanding win yet I think, and I know our team can put out a lot more,” Mahoney said. “I’m really looking forward to our team clicking offensively and defensively and everywhere in between.”

Myers had high words of praise for Bellarmine and said he looked forward to a weekend full of lacrosse.

“They’re very gritty. I think they’ll be extremely motivated on Sunday,” Myers said. “I think you’re going to see some very close lacrosse games this weekend.”

Two-game weekend This is scheduled to be the first time this season the Scarlet and Gray have had to play two games in one weekend. Even so, Mahoney said OSU is ready and excited at

the prospect.

“It’s going to be a jam-packed weekend, and we’re really looking forward to testing our ability to bounce back in two days, back to back,” Mahoney said. “We’re really looking forward to it as a team and getting more players involved.”

Two games in three days means the Buckeyes will have to play more players in order to keep legs fresh. Myers said he will rely on some of his players who do not see much time on the field to play a key role.

“I think the growth of our young guys at this point of the season has been really solid,” Myers said.

“We’re going to need some different guys to step up in both games this weekend to be successful.”

Repeat winner OSU junior midfield specialist Jake Withers was named the Big Ten Specialist of the Week on Tuesday for his role in the Buckeyes’ 12-7 win over University of Maryland, Baltimore County last Friday. This is the second time Withers has received the award this year.

Withers won 14 faceoffs, including a 9-of-11 mark in the first half, and picked up a game-high and personal season-best of 10 ground balls.

Withers has been an essential component of the Buckeyes’ ability to gain a significant advantage in time of possession this year, as he has had the total-game faceoff advantage in all four matches.

What’s next After the two games this weekend, OSU is scheduled to travel to Hempstead, New York, on March 12 to face Hofstra. The game is set to begin at noon.

1-0 in a shootout. The next game in Ann Arbor, Michigan, ended in an 8-6 Wolverine victory.

OSU freshman forward Brendon Kearney and Michigan sophomore forward Dexter Dancs each received disqualifications after the final whistle for fighting.

B1G stars face off Two standout players for both sides enter the weekend series with Big Ten honors on their backs.

OSU junior forward Nick Schilkey was named Big Ten First Star of the Week on Tuesday. Against Wisconsin, Schilkey registered a Big Ten-best five points from two goals and three assists. It is the second week in a row the Marysville, Michigan, native received weekly accolades; Schilkey was the Big Ten’s second star last week.

Schilkey now has a career-high 35 points this season, which leads the Buckeyes. His 17 goals and 18 assists are both career bests, and he is currently on a four-game point streak with 10 points during that period.

On the other side of the ice, Michigan freshman forward Kyle Connor collected the Big Ten’s Second Star of the Week. Connor extended his point streak to 19 games after collecting two goals and an assist during the Minnesota series. Connor leads the NCAA

in scoring with 54 points from 26 goals and 28 assists.

Pro day The Buckeyes are scheduled to play their final home game of the season at Nationwide Arena. The downtown facility is home to the NHL’s Columbus Blue Jackets, and Rohlik said he feels that a professional venue might be of some motivation for his group.

“Well that’s part of it for sure, and I think for our guys to get the opportunity to go and play in a venue like that right here at home, right down the road,” Rohlik said.

Rohlik said playing in an arena that houses an NHL rink is a vital experience before the Big Ten tournament at the home of the Minnesota Wild in St. Paul, Minnesota.

“The Big Ten tournament is at the Xcel (Energy) Center. It’s an NHL facility. Exactly, I mean pretty close to what we’re playing in,” Rohlik said. “I think it gives us guys an opportunity to go down there and get a feel on an NHL rink, and be ready in a couple of weeks.”

The first match at Yost Ice Arena is scheduled to start at 7:35 p.m. on Friday. The next game at Nationwide Arena is slated to begin at 3 p.m. two days later.

whole lot into their win-losses at this point right now. On the flip side with Boston College, their schedule hasn’t been as strong, but they’re winning ball games, so you’ve got to respect the fact that they’re winning.”

Beals said he plans to attack the weekend with his normal pitching rotation of junior Tanner Tully on Friday versus Seton Hall, redshirt sophomore Adam Niemeyer on Saturday against Illinois State and senior John Havird on Sunday versus Boston College.

Pitching staff showing flashes OSU’s pitching staff leads the Big Ten in strikeouts with 95. A chunk of that can be attributed to the hot start of Tully. The lefty from Elkhart, Indiana, has a 2-0 record, including a 1.59 ERA and 12 strikeouts. OSU redshirt sophomore Yianni Pavlopoulos has also excelled in his role as OSU’s closer, earning two saves while allowing no earned runs and striking out

nine.

The man behind the plate, senior Jalen Washington, said the pitching staff is still developing, but he is encouraged by the team’s ability to show flashes early on.

“I believe coming in, we thought pitching was going to be one of our struggles, but especially this (past) weekend they’ve shown that they’re ready for the challenge,” Washington said. “Especially the latter part of our bullpen came through and showed that they can manage with some of the best teams in the country.”

Bouncing back Having lost their first two games of the season this past weekend, the Buckeyes will look to turn the page on the losses with a fresh start this weekend.

Sergakis said the walk-off 3-2 loss to now-No. 18 Coastal Carolina in 10 innings served as a learning experience for the team.

“It really just leaves a salty taste

in our mouths, really,” Sergakis said. “Those types of (losses) always suck, but it’s something you have to learn from, you have to mature. We had a lot of those last year, and really it’s about coming back and rebounding as soon as possible.”

Washington said coming off the tough loss to end the series will provide motivation for the Buckeyes heading into the Snowbird Classic.

“We have three big opponents coming up this weekend,” Washington said. “We see them as playing No. 18 Coastal Carolina. Every game is big and every game is important.”

The first pitch of the three-game series is set to be thrown at 11 a.m. on Friday versus Seton Hall. Saturday’s matchup with Illinois State is slated for 2:30 p.m., while Sunday’s contest against Boston College is scheduled for 1 p.m.

selection, on the first-team is senior guard Ameryst Alston.

Alston is No. 7 in scoring in the Big Ten with 19.5 points per game, while also being tied for 10th in the Big Ten in assists with 3.9 dimes per game.

“I appreciate that award,” Alston said. “It’s not something that we really pay attention to, but I am grateful that I was chosen.”

The second-team All-Big Ten squad included junior forward Shayla Cooper and sophomore forward Alexa Hart.

Hart was also named to the AllBig Ten defensive team. She has been the defensive anchor for the

Buckeyes this season, swatting away 2.6 shots per game.

Despite the individual accolades that they receive, McGuff said his team is more focused on winning games.

“They are into the team stuff and they want the team to do well, and that’s what makes them great kids and great players,” McGuff said.

The Buckeyes will look to have a productive Thursday prior to hopping on the bus to Indianapolis. If they win Friday, the tournament semifinal is set for the next day.

LOOKING TO REBOUND Ohio State women’s basketball readying for postseason after consecutive losses NATHAN RUBINSTEIN Lantern reporter rubinstein.24@osu.edu The postseason is upon the Ohio State women’s basketball team. It’s the time of the year that every team plays for. One loss is all it takes to dash a team’s desires.

For OSU, that second season begins with the Big Ten tournament in Indianapolis at the Bankers Life Fieldhouse this weekend.

No. 9 OSU enters the tournament hungry for wins and a chance to play for the hardware. The Buckeyes are the second seed in the tournament, which earns it a tworound bye. That rest could provide the Buckeyes a little bit of time to regroup after a tough end to their regular season.

“We have a great opportunity heading to Indianapolis. It’s going to be a competitive tournament,” OSU coach Kevin McGuff said.

“We had a tough week last week, but we control our destiny, and I think we can beat anybody that we are going to play if we have the right mindset and we really compete to win.”

The Buckeyes are scheduled to kick off their tournament journey Friday night at 6:30 p.m. against the winner of a game between Rutgers and Nebraska. OSU beat both teams handily during the regular season.

The contest between the Scarlet Knights and the Huskers is scheduled for Thursday evening, and the Buckeyes will have their eyes glued to the television to scout their two possible opponents.

OSU is not satisfied with completing the regular season on a twogame losing streak, sophomore guard Kelsey Mitchell said. The Buckeyes first lost to Minnesota

“We didn’t have the week we wanted to have,” she said. “It’s just one of those things where we have to turn the page. We have to get back to how things were.”

Rating Rutgers Rutgers enters the Big Ten tournament as the No. 10 seed with hope to prove itself to the rest of the conference.

Coming off a 72-50 win over Michigan, the Scarlet Knights have a lot of confidence. They lean on senior forward Kahleah Copper, who averages 17.3 points per game and earned second-team All-Big Ten honors.

Against the Buckeyes, Copper scored 19 points in the first meeting and 18 the second. The Philadelphia native is known for her ability to drive to the basket and finish with authority.

Copper’s counterpart is junior guard Tyler Scaife, who was also selected to the All-Big Ten second team. The speedy Scaife averages 17.6 points per game and has had OSU’s number this season, putting up 27 points when visiting Columbus earlier in the year. When OSU traveled to Piscataway, New Jersey, a couple of weeks later, Scaife contributed 13 points and four assists.

If Rutgers is the team OSU plays on Friday, the Buckeyes will likely put their focus on stopping Copper and Scaife in order to come out on top.

Nebraska notes Nebraska is full of standout players who could potentially give the Buckeyes trouble if the Cornhuskers defeat Rutgers on Thursday.

The No. 7 seed enters the tournament on the heels of a 76-67 victory over Northwestern on Sunday afternoon.

Nebraska forward Jessica Shepard was awarded Big Ten Freshman of the Year, as she averaged 19.5 points and 8.8 rebounds per game.

The 6-foot-4 forward is adept at scoring down low and has proven to be one of the top post players in the conference throughout the course of the season.

Last time out against the Buckeyes, Shepard dropped 20 points, all of which came inside the paint.

All-Big Ten On Monday night, the Big Ten announced its all-conference teams, and four Buckeyes were chosen.

“It seems at times we try to do too much and end up beating ourselves.

Rohlik also enforced that it is not always the player with the puck on his stick that is the dangerous man.

“It’s a lot to do with what you’re doing without the puck. That’s the thing I’ve been stressing a lot is your awareness without the puck,” he said. “You can get caught up sometimes with some pretty good players and what they’re doing with the puck and you forget about the guy that’s 2 feet away from you. You’ve got to trust your teammates.”

The last time these two rivals met, each collected points, but not without some of the usual extracurricular altercations.

Buckeyes prep for home-and-home series vs. Michigan The Ohio State men’s hockey team (10-17-3, 5-8-3) is getting ready to face off against bitter rival Michigan (20-5-5, 10-3-3) for the last time in the regular season in a home-and-home series, the latter part a Sunday showdown at Nationwide Arena.

The Buckeyes are coming off an offensive showcase against Wisconsin that featured 13 players collecting points in Saturday’s victory.

The Buckeyes are now unbeaten in three straight games for the first time in two months. The previous streak was two victories at the Florida College Hockey Classic in late December, followed by a victory over Wisconsin on Jan. 8.

The Ohio State baseball team, coming off a 2-2 split in the Coastal Carolina Tournament, is set to head south again, this time to Port Charlotte, Florida, for the Snowbird Classic. A trio of games preside on the docket for the Buckeyes against Seton Hall, Illinois State and Boston College.

OSU coach Greg Beals said he is impressed by his team defeating a Top 25 opponent, then-No. 19 Coastal Carolina, but the sixth-year coach said he sees plenty of room for improvement from his players.

“It lets us know that we’re right there, where we can play against anybody in the country,” Beals said. “It also gives us an idea that in order to be there and get over that hump, we’ve got to win that onerun game, that extra-inning game, and find a way to get that done. It just makes us even (hungrier) to keep working and keep getting better.”

Sizing up the competition None of the Buckeyes’ scheduled opponents are ranked this weekend, but Beals said each team will present a true test to OSU. Seton Hall enters the series at 2-5, having lost three of four games to Florida International by a combined score of 24-6.

Illinois State also enters the weekend with a 2-5 record, off the heels of dropping three of four games against No. 9 Oregon. Boston College likely poses the biggest threat to OSU, as it enters its second leg of the Snowbird Classic at a perfect 7-0.

Beals said despite each team’s record, he expects all three opponents to come out and give the Buckeyes their best shots. “(Seton Hall and Illinois State have) played good competition,” Beals said. “I’m not reading a
