INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVES GRE, MCAT on United States graduate school experience

AKAYLA GARDNER Lantern reporter gardner.1199@osu.edu Shahwar Ali said that although she was born in Islamabad, Pakistan, she doesn’t identify with one city because she has lived in so many different places within her nation. Ali, a graduate student in higher education and student affairs, said she began considering studying in the United States during high school when her cousin left home to pursue an undergraduate degree in the U.S. “She paved the way. She was the first woman. No one in my family had ever gone abroad before her,” Ali said. “It felt like I could do that too.” According to an Ohio State report, there are currently 2,496 international students enrolled in graduate school at the university — 23 percent of the total population, compared with only 8 percent in the undergraduate population. Each person has a different story about their motivation to pursue a graduate degree in America. Following her cousin’s footsteps, Ali decided to come to the U.S. in order to pursue her undergraduate degree in communications at Berea College in Berea, Kentucky. When it came time for graduate school, Ali knew she wanted to stay in the U.S. due to its more holistic approach to education. “You focus on studies, but you also focus on co-curricular activities and being more involved,” Ali said. Ali said there are fewer choices in majors in Pakistani universities, and financial resources are very limited with rare opportunities for scholarships or availability of student loans. “When I started graduate school here, there was no program in this field back home,” Ali said. “The first school

When your post-undergraduate career depends on the results of a test, it’s important to stay cool under pressure, especially when the tests last for hours at a time. The GRE graduate school entry exam is required for most graduate school programs, ranging from English master’s programs to STEM doctoral programs. The test takes three hours and 45 minutes, but Andrea Thompson, a fourth-year in psychology, said the arduous registration and security processes make the test seem even longer. “You can’t bring anything in with you.

More factors to consider than the school alone JASMINE HILTON Lantern reporter hilton.93@osu.edu As Julia Dziabis embarked on yet another graduate school interview, she found herself asking tough questions on a commonly overlooked topic — safety. “Is it safe to run outside? Do you run outside by yourself? What are the surrounding areas like?” Dziabis, a fourth-year in neuroscience, said. “I have to think beyond just the program, beyond just the school because it’s going to be my life for the next couple of years.” With graduate school quickly approaching, students face many decisions. Before choosing a graduate school, safety should be taken into consideration, and students should be

well prepared. “It’s going to feel much more different to move somewhere brand new and start over,” Dziabis said. “Aspects like safety are a lot more important when thinking about moving, especially moving alone.” Students can gain the best tips on safety and adjusting to the new environment during the graduate school interview process by talking to other students at their prospective schools, Dziabis said. “It’s definitely something I take into consideration when I’m visiting and ask the students about because they’re going to have the most realistic view,” Dziabis said. Dziabias said that the school is looking at more than just someone’s scholarly qualifica-

The thought of graduate school can be stressful and overwhelming. There are so many “what if’s” that something supposedly exciting turns into a topic you push to the back of your mind. To break things down easily you can remember three ‘R’s’: resolutions, roommates and rentals. Step one is picking a school. After the stressful (and expensive) process of applying is over and you hear back from all your dream schools, how do you choose? One important thing to do when making a resolution and sticking to it is thinking about your college experience. What did you like? What did you not like? Take all of that into consideration — from distance from home to weather — and decide from there. Once you’ve decided on your new home, it’s time to look for a roommate. While paying that hefty tuition price on top of all the other expenses graduate school brings, odds are you can’t afford to live in an apartment or house all by yourself. Plus, going to a brand new place without knowing anyone could be a hard transition. Having a roommate might make things easier for you, both socially and financially. Luckily, there’s a great platform for just that: Facebook. Facebook is how many college students find their roommates if they decide to go random or travel to a brand new place by themselves. An easy way to find people looking for roommates is through Facebook groups created for your respective graduate school and year. Then, you can make a post describing yourself and what you’re looking for in a

roommate. It’s important to be honest here because the last thing you want is a roommate horror story. Once you’ve decided on a school and a roommate, it’s time to go house hunting. All schools are different, so depending on where you go, you and your roommate have to decide what is most important when it comes to your rental. How close to campus would you like to be? Do you need parking? How much are you willing to spend per month? How many rooms? Do you have pets? All of these questions are very important to ask when looking for a rental. If you make it here, all the fundamental building blocks of a successful graduate school experience are complete. You’ve stuck to your resolution, found a roommate and a rental. Congratulations, and happy graduate schooling.

Moritz College of Law offers Ohio State students not looking to leave Columbus an option to pursue a career in law.

Studying law at Ohio State

TATYANA WOODALL Lantern reporter woodall.52@osu.edu For Ohio State students considering law school, the Moritz College Of Law could be an option for those hoping to stay in Columbus. Moritz offers more than 25 specializations and 175 electives, along with many opportunities outside the classroom. The school has an annual Washington, D.C., Summer Program directed by professor Chris Walker that invites 20 students to meet with alumni and undergo specialized internships with prominent institutions, such as the U.S. attorney’s office, the Supreme Court and the CIA.

“We have a public mission that’s not just building knowledge, but helping policymakers and judges to apply that knowledge to make the law and policy better.” CHRIS WALKER Ohio State summer program director and professor

“I work with them to figure out what they want to do with their lives. Then I place them with various opportunities at D.C.,” Walker, a former practicing attorney who has worked extensively in administrative

law for over a decade, said. “The idea is just to get them experience and get a good sense of all the opportunities you can have as a lawyer.” According to US News, Moritz ranks at No. 32 — tied with five — among the 203 law schools ranked by the publication. The three-year law program at Moritz places an emphasis on both traditional and nontraditional research, both for faculty and students, and much of the school’s research is used at the local, state and federal level, Walker said. “We have a public mission that’s not just building knowledge, but helping policymakers and judges to apply that knowledge to make the law and policy better,” Walker said. In the classroom, Moritz professors work with students to find their passion before the start of their second year, assigning them a career adviser to help them focus throughout and beyond their academic learning. With an average in-state tuition of $30,854 and out-of-state tuition of $40,806, Moritz falls below the national average cost for law schools in terms of tuition, but is above the public institution average. Average tuition for private law schools is $47,112 and public average is $26,864, according to US News. When it comes to financial aid, Moritz awards more than $3.5 billion annually. Sandy Shaba, a first-year graduate law student, said scholarships motivated her decision to choose Moritz and is hoping Moritz will provide a positive law school experience. “I am looking forward to getting some experience this summer and working in the real legal field,” Shaba said. Walker added that there’s an interesting advantage to being a part of the Buckeye brand. “I think if you’ve got Buckeye pride or want to be an Ohioan on the national stage or the state stage, this is the place where you can get the education and connections that you need,” Walker said.

How to pay for graduate school LYDIA WEYRICH Lantern reporter weyrich.4@osu.edu Paying for graduate school can be a daunting investment — financial aid and scholarships are different than during undergrad and there are not as many resources to walk graduate students through the process of securing funds. Alicia Bertone, vice provost for graduate studies and dean of the graduate school at Ohio State, said there are still several ways Ohio State graduate students can receive money toward furthering their education. Ohio State graduate students can receive financial help for graduate school through fellowships, scholarships and graduate assistantships.

“Graduate education is enhanced by an inclusive environment of all graduate students, and having a diverse environment helps everyone that is in the program.” ALICIA BERTONE Vice provost for graduate studies and dean of the graduate school at Ohio State

Fellowships are awarded through competition by specific colleges and are sponsored by outside funds. They come with not only money for tuition, but with an excellent health plan as well, Bertone said. Bertone said the competition-based fellowships are awarded to students who have been recruited by their colleges to compete, while the specific college fellowships are appointed on merit. The outside-sponsored fellowships come from specific external programs depending on the college. Students who meet certain diversity criteria have a few extra fellowship opportunities. Bertone said the Summer Research Opportunities Program, which is offered through the Big Ten Academic Alliance, is something that certain students can apply and qualify for depending on their ethnicity and race. “Graduate education is enhanced by an inclusive environment of all graduate students, and having a diverse environment helps everyone that is in the program,” Bertone said. Graduate assistantships can be based in administration, research or teaching. The different assistantships have varying roles associated with them depending on the college, but they are all forms of employment, Bertone said. Most assistantships require 20 hours of work per week. Scholarships can come through a specific college or the graduate school itself, Bertone said. She said the individual colleges at Ohio State offer the largest number of scholarships, but the graduate school does have a few available, with one being the ENGIE-Axium scholarship, which will be available starting this year.

Ohio State offers graduate students a variety of methods for financial help through fellowships, scholarships and graduate assistantships.

This scholarship is among eight other endowment funds that are “part of the academic collaboration agreement between the university and Ohio State Energy Partners LLC,” according to an Ohio State news release. While many students do receive some type of scholarship, Bertone said that scholarships are not usually the primary source of funding for graduate students, and that fellowships and graduate assistantships typically carry more weight. There are several ways to learn about the application processes of these options, but Bertone said she encourages students

to meet with their program coordinator or someone at the graduate school office. Application processes and opportunities change depending on the college, so it is important to be in touch with the people specific to their program, Bertone said, and that people at the graduate school office oversee each of the different funding options and are a great resource for students with questions. The graduate school offices are located at 250 University Hall, at 230 N. Oval Mall. More information about funding, fellowships and assistantships can be found on the graduate school’s website.

tions during the interview process. She said the interview also works two ways: the school interviews the students to see if they are a good fit and the student asks the school if the area is a suitable place to live. The step that might require the most safety consideration is where to live in the new city, and Dziabis recommends keeping in contact with the resources available through the university and asking current students for housing recommendations. “It provides a good frame of reference of what is a safe and regular way that most people find housing,” Dziabis said. “I want to make sure that wherever I live is at least around other people and in a location where people feel safe.” Using Columbus as an example, Dziabis

said students at Ohio State are well prepared to move to a new place, especially to a city environment. “This area has a little bit of everything, so you learn that there are some areas that you’d prefer to stay out of, if you’re walking by yourself at night, but you’ve also been well prepared to handle situations like that by being vigilant,” Dziabis said. Kyla Brathwaite, a first-year graduate student in communications at Ohio State, advised students to ask questions about the community, housing and the city itself and to “branch out” by attending university activities tailored to graduate students, like Welcome Weekend at Ohio State. “Being a grad student, everyone needs friends, and everyone’s looking to look out for people,” Brathwaite said.

come back into the room,” Thompson said. “I’ve been through customs at airports, and that was less security.” Thompson, who is currently applying to clinical psychology doctoral and social work programs, took the GRE in November and said it was important to pace herself and use her energy wisely. “It’s really easy to burn yourself out fast because the two essays are at the beginning,” Thompson said. “If I could redo one thing, it’d be to focus on those more. That way I felt more prepared for them and didn’t use a ton of mental energy on the first part of the exam.” The beginning of the exam consists of two handwritten essays, one regarding a general issue of interest and one argumentative, each lasting 30 minutes. The rest of the exam sections are in multiple-choice format, with only a one-minute break between each section, aside from the second multiple choice section, in which test takers have 10 minutes to complete, according to Princeton Review. The LSAT aptitude test requires just as much preparation and focus as any other standardized test, lasting four to five hours. Lila Appaya, a fourth-year in psychology, took the LSAT in January and noted the importance of staying relaxed before she took the exam. “It’s especially important that you do this the day before,” Appaya said. “I went and worked out, had a healthy lunch and dinner, went to bed early. At that point, reviewing or trying to learn new things isn’t going to help you on the exam, so it’s better not to stress about it and just take it easy.” The morning of the exam, Appaya practiced staying calm by waking up early and not stressing herself out. “I got up at 6 a.m., showered so I felt awake, looked over some of my strategies for how I was going to approach each section,” Appaya said. “Some people do some logical reasoning problems to warm up, but I didn’t do this.” The LSAT consists of five multiple-choice sections with a 15-minute break after the third section and a writing sample at the end, Despite the many tips, fear can still creep in when considering the safety of a potential graduate school. After applying to schools as far out as California, Dziabis said her biggest fear is being far from her hometown of Chicago in case of an emergency. “If there were any kinds of emergencies to happen now, I’m only a six-hour drive away,” Dziabis said. “Being across the country and only accessible by plane — and probably an expensive flight — is kind of scary.” Brathwaite faced similar fears about moving to a new location after graduating from Cornell University in the small town of Ithaca, New York, and coming to the larger city of Columbus. “I had to realize that I’m not in the mid-

according to Kaptest. The total testing time is three hours and 30 minutes, so sustaining energy is key in this endeavor. Appaya said that while some people opted to bring hearty sandwiches, she brought lighter snacks. “I brought a water bottle and then oranges and nuts and some crackers,” Appaya said. “I tried to pack things that would give me lots of fuel, but personally, I can’t eat a lot when I’m nervous, so I didn’t pack much food for the break.” Clocking in at seven hours and 30 minutes, the Medical College Admission Test, MCAT, requires long-lasting focus and energy. The test is comprised of four sections; however, there are 10-minute optional breaks between each section, according to MCAT-Prep. Christy Sharrer, Ohio State alumna and current special master’s in physiology student at the University of Cincinnati, took the MCAT in 2017 and cited the importance of staying mindful through deep breathing. “Managing anxiety during the test, I just would remind myself of all of the hard work I had been doing,” Sharrer said. “Don’t be afraid to take a mindful moment. Let yourself just focus on your breath for a few minutes if you catch yourself freaking out.” Similarly to Thompson, Sharrer also likened security for the exam to that of airports. “Don’t be the guy in a three-piece suit because you’ll have to be scanned with a security wand every time, and that time you spend in line getting back in the room is taken out of your break time,” Sharrer said. “It’s almost more stressful than going through airport security.” For undergraduate students looking for resources to prepare for graduate school examinations, the Career Counseling and Support Services in the Younkin Success Center offers various resources and counseling sessions for graduate opportunities.

Dziabis said that despite the fears and safety precautions taking “the leap” to graduate school is definitely worth it. “You don’t really know how much is out there until you go out,” Dziabis said. “Wherever you choose will help put you on the right path to get to where you want to go in the end.”

dential election, she was shocked by the results because she was not expecting Trump to win. “It just sent a very different message to the world,” Ali said. Ali said the American political climate factored into her decision-making process regarding graduate school, but when weighing the decision at the end of 2017, she ultimately chose to apply in the U.S. She said this caused some confusion for her in January 2017 when Trump signed an executive order suspending travel from seven Muslim-majority countries in the Middle East. “I am a Muslim and I come from a Muslim-majority country and I thought, ‘What if my country gets put on the travel ban list? Does that mean that I will have to face a lot of problems as I live here? Or if I were to go back home just to visit, does that mean I will be able to come back?’” Ali said. “I felt in that point in time that I wasn’t really welcomed here because of my religious identity.” Ali said she began to wear a hijab for the

first time in her senior year as an undergraduate in 2016 and gained an interesting perspective on how someone is treated differently once they start wearing a hijab. Ali said in the early days of Trump’s presidency, she feared for her safety and had to be more aware of her surroundings and the political opinions she shared with others. “I felt like, ‘What if somebody yells something at me or tries to attack me?’ because I somehow felt that Trump had, by saying and by doing what he was saying and doing, he was giving other people that power to do so to other people and their community,” Ali said. “I felt that I could be harmed.” Ali said there were some days she decided not to wear her hijab, but a supervisor encouraged her to rethink her decision, and she started wearing it again. When she came back to the U.S. to start graduate school, Ali said she decided not to wear her hijab anymore after wearing it for two years. “I just thought it would be easier for me

Taste of OSU to bring international cuisine and cultural performances LILY MASLIA Senior reporter maslia.2@osu.edu

Hungry students can rejoice Friday at the annual Taste of OSU event, featuring international cuisine provided by more than 30 different ethnic and cultural student organizations. Sponsored by the Office of International Affairs, Taste of OSU highlights the diversity and various cultures on campus through a night of cultural exhibits, exciting performances and food from all around the world. As a signature event that is free and open to the public, Taste of OSU attracts thousands of attendees from students to faculty to Columbus locals. “I want people to come with curiosity, questions and that eagerness to learn about different cultures,” said Kidest Beyene, student chair of Taste of OSU and fourthyear in public affairs and African and African-American studies. “I especially want people to come out and experience an event that they’ve never experienced and get to see the diversity on campus.” Taste of OSU serves as an opportunity for student organizations to market themselves to other students.

endure an extensive application process for a spot at one of the Ohio Union’s largest events. Beyene said a lot of new student organizations applied to be in the event this year, and the group had to be selective as to which ones to include “because we didn’t

want to be redundant.” “It was really cool going through all the applications and looking at the new applicants and the new international countries that would be represented this year,” Beyene said. Participating student organizations have

the opportunity to win prizes for categories, such as best food, best cultural display and best performances. Anthony Rizkala, president of the Lebanese Student Organization and fifth-year in neuroscience, expressed his excitement for the event and hopes to win first place for best food. “We’re gonna make something called shish tawook, which is like a chicken kabob and something else called knafeh, which is like a Lebanese cheesecake dessert,” Rizkala said. “Last year, we won third place for food, so we’re hoping to get first this year.” Spread out in the Great Hall of Ohio Union, attendees and passers-by can watch 24 different performances by student organizations, ranging from the Chinese Folk Music Orchestra to the Irish Dance Team. “I want people to not be afraid and think that Taste of OSU is only for people who have knowledge about international cultures. That’s not the case,” Beyene said. “It’s an event that’s designed to allow students to experience parts of other people’s diversity and cultures.” Taste of OSU is from 5-9 p.m. Friday with free admission. Food tickets are available for purchase in the Ohio Union for $1 each.

Heimberger said the couple quit their jobs within the year and moved to Hilliard where they opened a mobile coffee business. Coffee Connections is now in its third year of production and won the 2017 Emerging Business of the Year by the Hilliard Area Chamber of Commerce. It was contacted by

the University District Board and won the bid out of 13 other coffee shops to annex the Gateway plaza location. Heimberger said the ribbon-cutting ceremony will include a small presentation highlighting the business’s history, various short speeches and mint milkshakes. In the upcoming months, Coffee Connections will use social media to field suggestions for community outreach, such as cleaning local parks or volunteering at a food pantry. “We want to connect with all types of groups and be able to funnel you to whatever group you want,” Heimberger said. “You will have [the] opportunity coming here to connect with the bigger, the greater-campus area and actually have an impact.”

Dance studio celebrates Valentine’s Day with “Anti-Valentine’s Party” MICHAEL CARMODY Lantern reporter carmody.36@osu.edu

Short North dance studio Danceville U.S.A. will celebrate Valentine’s Day with its sixth annual “Anti-Valentine’s Party” on Thursday by extending open invitations to those without a Valentine. Danceville U.S.A. celebrates Valentine’s Day through the “anti” form in a positive manner, as an act of inclusion for those who spend the day on their own. “The reason we call it an Anti-Valentine’s Day party is because not everyone has a partner or a significant other,” Danceville U.S.A. instructor Anastasia Gordeeva said. “Our dance parties are focused on the fact that you don’t have to have a dance partner. You can come by yourself because we have instructors here, but also, you can meet people here.” Gordeeva said there are no requirements to attend the party. Whether you are single or in a relationship, all you need is the mindset to have a great night. “It’s a very fun social activity. You don’t even have to know how to dance,” Gordeeva said. The party not only stresses how being single is great, but having the desire to go and express yourself by dancing alone is even better. Kyle Yarberry, public relations and marketing director for Danceville U.S.A., said Anti-Valentine’s Day is a way to give people not in a relationship a place to go without feeling like they have to go with someone.

The party begins with guests learning the same dance, followed by an open dance floor and refreshments. “We start off by teaching a group class, and after that we play music and people partner up if they want to, and we have our instructors here as well who are dancing with all the students,” Gordeeva said. Gordeeva said the concept of Anti-Valentine’s Day is represented through the name, theme and music. “We play a pretty wide range of music, and we try to make it to the theme about being single or breaking up,” Gordeeva said. Danceville U.S.A. has been celebrating the joy of being single on Valentine’s Day

studio five years ago, he wanted to make a space comfortable for anyone coming out on Valentine’s Day, especially if they are single. No matter the relationship status, gender, age or demographic, anyone is welcome to spend Valentine’s Day in a positive and fun environment with an inclusive group of people. “We have a wide age range from college students to retirees. It’s very diverse,” Gordeeva said.

The party is a warm, welcoming and safe environment open to anyone who has the desire to do something different. “It’s a very familial atmosphere,” Yarberry said. The “Anti-Valentines Day Party” begins at 8 p.m. Thursday, at 47 E Lincoln St and the price of $50 includes dancing, food, drinks and the opportunity to sign up for other regularly scheduled dance classes that are offered.

Former Lake Travis High School wide receiver Garrett Wilson catches a pass for the Cavaliers. Wilson is now a freshman wide receiver at Ohio State.

son, completing 71.8 percent of his passes for 3,842 yards with 44 touchdowns and six interceptions, Baldwin showcased a pure passing ability that interested Day and Ohio State, as well as many other programs around the country, Carter said. To the Lake Travis head coach, who had known and coached Baldwin since third grade, this was not something he was surprised by. “Matthew can make every throw,” Carter said. “Matthew Baldwin has an NFL arm right now. There are guys in the NFL that don’t throw it any better than Matthew.” Wilson said Baldwin was everything he wanted in a quarterback, with a “cannon” for an arm and a knowledge of the responsibilities for each member of the offense. Baldwin also took advantage of Wilson’s athleticism. If he saw Wilson was in single coverage during his junior season, Baldwin would target Wilson every time, Jones said. “I think that obviously Garrett loves the fact that Matthew will be able to put the ball wherever he wanted to and could stretch the field to him,” Carter said. With Baldwin at quarterback during the 2017 season, Wilson recorded 96 catches for 1,764 yards, catching a career-high 26 of Baldwin’s 44 touchdown passes. “He’s the most talented receiver I have ever seen,” Carter said. “I’ve never seen a high school player with the catch radius.” Off the football field, Carter said Wilson and Baldwin were very close, loved being together and had great respect for what each could do on the field. Wilson said, with Baldwin, he knew what he was getting himself into. “I’ve been around him for the last five, six years, and he’s such a hard worker, such a good person. He’s someone I want to be like,” Wilson said. “I feel like if I hang around people like that, that’s who I’m gonna be. I love that kid.” Even though Lake Travis thrived with Baldwin and Wilson in the offense, finishing with eight wins in 10 games heading into the playoffs, Jones never thought their relationship would continue after the quarterback’s senior season. “I think everyone knew that Garrett might end up at Ohio State because that’s his family’s roots, but Matthew going to Ohio State .... It stunned a lot of people,” Jones said. “He doesn’t have any ties to Ohio State, and there’s really not an Ohio State pipeline to Lake Travis necessarily.” But both had a single event that helped drive them to the same college. After Lake Travis cruised through the 2017 playoffs, beating opponents by an average of 22.6 points, the Cavaliers met Allen High School in the 6A State Championship game. However, Baldwin got hurt in the title game, his knee buckling as he dropped back for a pass on the first play of the game. Lake Travis lost the title game to

Allen 35-33. “I think there is an understanding that they left a lot on the table,” Jones said. “I think they knew they could win a state championship, and that’s got to be driving them a little bit, knowing they were that close and knowing, really, an injury kept them from winning state together.” For Wilson, redemption for a group he feels should have won a state title with is what helped him pick Ohio State, to get another shot at a championship with Baldwin. “I feel like we didn’t end the way we wanted to in high school,” Wilson said. “We ended up losing the state game, and it’s just great to come back up here and get the chance to work with him again and finish the way we want to.” Wilson had an idea from Baldwin of what life at Ohio State would be like. During the wide receiver’s senior season at Lake Travis, he said he talked to his quarterback at least twice per week, in which Baldwin gave him advice about what to expect at the collegiate level. And after watching wide receivers, such as Clemson’s Justyn Ross, thrive in their freshmen season with major programs, Wilson has the same expectation for himself. And he seems to know what it takes to get there. “It takes the right situation, but the other important things to it is just you take in every detail that you get. You take coaching well, and you have a good grasp on the playbook. That’s probably the main thing,” Wilson said. “If you know the plays, you put yourself in the best position to play. Learning the playbook probably gives you the best chance to play.” Carter said his former receiver has the skill to succeed right away, complimenting his timing, ball skills, catch radius and ability to make people miss after the catch. Wilson’s competitive spirit is one that rivals Baker Mayfield, the Heisman quarterback and No. 1 pick for the Cleveland Browns who went to Lake Travis until 2013, the Lake Travis head coach said. He said Wilson is ready to learn and improve, bringing the confidence he had from Texas to Ohio. “The moment won’t be too big for him,” Carter said. “He will rise to the occasion, and I would imagine that he will immediately, he will add value to the wide receiver room and be an asset to the offense Day One.” When Day pictured what he wanted his offense to look like during his first season recruiting as the offensive coordinator, he wanted a receiver like Wilson. He wanted a quarterback like Baldwin. Now, as Day steps up to the head coach position, he has both.

over the most in the Big Ten on average per 100 possessions. “I do think that catches up to you,” Holtmann said. “It’s no secret, right? We’re playing a team that leads the league in turnover percentage defensively, and it’s the area that we’re the weakest in the league. We’re 14th. They’re No. 1, so certainly it’s a tough matchup for us in that regard.” But the defensive mismatch Illinois presents to the Buckeyes is not what is on sophomore forward Kaleb Wesson’s mind. He said the Fighting Illini have always had a tough defense. Instead, it is the newfound offensive ability in the recent stretch that should be the major difference. “They’re very physical on defense. They play for a lot of steals, and then offensively they have a lot of weapons on offense, too,” Wesson said. “I feel like they’ve always been tough on the defensive end. I feel like their offense is clicking now. You know they’re a tough team to play when their offense is clicking.” Ohio State takes on Illinois at home at 7 p.m. Thursday.

OPPORTUNITY

Ohio State has a chance to clinch Big Ten with a sweep against Minnesota MICHAEL BENZINGER Lantern reporter benzinger.3@osu.edu After seven straight wins, all in conference, the No. 2 Ohio State men’s hockey team (19-5-4, 123-3 Big Ten) will go up against Minnesota (11-14-4, 8-9-3 Big Ten) at home this weekend with an opportunity to lock up the No. 1 seed heading into the Big Ten tournament. Consistency has been key recently for Ohio State, as it has won each of the past seven games, placing the team firmly at No. 1 in the Big Ten and No. 2 in USCHO polls. Minnesota is ranked No. 4 in the Big Ten and currently remains unranked. With two wins against the Golden Gophers, the Buckeyes will clinch the Big Ten in the regular season with four games left on the schedule. The Buckeyes defense has been critical to the team’s success. Junior forward Carson Meyer emphasized the importance of both of their goaltenders: redshirt senior Sean Romeo and sophomore Tommy Nappier. “I think we play incredibly confident in front of each of them the

same,” Meyer said. “They’re both doing unbelievable this year.” Where Ohio State sees its defense as one of its greatest assets, Minnesota has seen quite a bit less success this year: the Golden Gophers defense is ranked No. 42 in the nation. That said, the Golden Gophers are strong on the man advantage, with the No. 5 power play in the country and a 26.7 percent success rate. Head coach Steve Rohlik rec-

ognizes the significance of going up against a team that finds decent success in defending against power plays. “We’ve got to be good on the power play,” Rohlik said. “Hopefully we’ll get some opportunities, but you’ve got to make your own breaks, and we’ve got to prepare. We’re putting the work in this week, and hopefully we’re ready for it.” Minnesota is led by junior forward Rem Pitlick, who has tallied

17 goals, tied for No. 4 in the country, and 18 assists so far this season. The 35 points is tied for No. 7 in the NCAA. Senior forward Tyler Sheehy trails closely behind with 10 goals and 34 points, which is tied for ninth-most in the country. Both matches against Minnesota this season have resulted in 2-2 ties, with Ohio State winning in the 3-on-3 overtime in each game for two points in the Big Ten as opposed to Minnesota’s one in each matchup. Senior forward Brendon Kearney is hoping to put on a good game for the Ohio State fans to reward their support. The attendance at the Schottenstein Center has been more than 6,800 in the past four home games for the men’s hockey team, a number the Buckeyes reached only four times overall the previous season. “Buckeye Nation is always fantastic,” Kearney said. “For the past few weeks, we’ve been creeping on 10,000 fans a night for the past six or seven home games.” No. 2 Ohio State takes on Minnesota at the Schottenstein Center at 6 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

Ohio State tries to snap skid against Lindenwood, Quincy CALEB EWING Lantern reporter ewing.279@osu.edu Following a trip to the West Coast, the Ohio State men’s volleyball team will try and earn a win after losing three straight when the Buckeyes travel to Missouri to take on Lindenwood Friday, and Quincy on the road in Illinois Saturday.

“A lot of times, that’s what this game is all about: Can you keep a scoring run going or can you stop a scoring run by the other team? We’re just struggling to kind of find ways to get those two things accomplished and a lot of that is youth right now.” PETE HANSON Ohio State head men’s volleyball coach

The Buckeyes (4-8, 0-2) are looking for their first win since their four-set victory against Lincoln Memorial at home on Feb. 2. They’ve lost nine straight sets since then to then-unranked Purdue Fort Wayne, No. 6 UC Santa Barbara and No. 1 Long Beach State. Ohio State is also going for its first league win after losses to the Mastodons and then-

Head coach Pete Hanson said he’s trying to get his young team to find ways to keep momentum when the match is on the line. “We’re still just making some young errors at really critical times that can keep momentum going,” Hanson said. “A lot of times, that’s what this game is all about: Can you keep a scoring run going or can you stop a scoring run by the other team?

lot of that is youth right now.” Both the Lions and the Hawks share identical records with the Buckeyes. Lindenwood (4-8, 0-2) comes into the match on Friday fresh off losses to No. 10 Lewis and then-No. 8 Loyola Chicago. The Lions are led by redshirt sophomore Charley Hlavin, who has accounted for 103 kills, 52 digs and six aces this season. The Lions and the Buckeyes have had two common opponents this season: Penn State and Saint Francis. Both teams are

1-1, with the Buckeyes having beaten Penn State at home, while the Lions have a fiveset road win against the the Red Flash. Quincy (4-8, 0-2) will face the Buckeyes Saturday after having played against league foe McKendree two nights before. The Hawks are currently on their own threematch losing streak, featuring straight-set defeats against then-No. 8 Loyola Chicago and No. 10 Lewis and a four-set loss to Lourdes. The Hawks are led by junior outside hitter Omari Wheeler, who has amassed 160 kills, 60 digs and eight aces this season. Both the Buckeyes and the Hawks fell in straight-sets to their only common opponent: No. 1 Long Beach State. Ohio State will have to lean on the youth on its roster to come up big this weekend. Injuries to major contributors such as senior setter Sanil Thomas and sophomore opposite hitter Jake Hanes have given some younger players more opportunities. Freshman outside hitter Jack Stevens, a serving specialist for the Buckeyes, said he’s been learning a lot from the upperclassmen about how to adjust to playing at the collegiate level. “All the older guys have taught me a lot about just the hard work and dedication it takes to succeed at this level, whether it’s in the practice gym, the weight room, or in the classroom,” Stevens said. “All these guys have been working hard for four or five years. It’s really cool to learn from them.” Ohio State will face Lindenwood at 8 p.m. Friday in Saint Charles, Missouri, and Quincy at 8 p.m. Saturday in Quincy, Illinois.

In his first season as the offensive coordinator at Ohio State, Ryan Day led the Buckeyes to the No. 1 scoring offense and the No. 1 total offense in the Big Ten. The majority of this success came from the ground game, which averaged 243.2 yards per game and 5.8 yards per carry.

WYATT CROSHER Assistant Sports Editor crosher.1@osu.edu Ohio State and Illinois are 7.5 games apart in record, but both teams find themselves in similar positions approaching their matchup. The Buckeyes and Fighting Illini have each won three straight and four of their past five. But both are coming off a rough stretch,

with Ohio State losing five in a row to start 2019 and Illinois losing 14 of its first 19 games of the season. Both teams are in the bottom four in the Big Ten in rebounding due to a lack of size, and both are young teams improving with increased experience. Even though Ohio State already defeated Illinois 77-67 on Dec. 5, head coach Chris Holtmann is expecting a new and improved

Fighting Illini in the two months since the previous matchup. “They’re a much different team than what they were when we played them in December,” Holtmann said. “A couple of their freshmen kids are playing really well and they’re getting contributions from a lot of guys.” In Illinois’ previous four wins, it has defeated then-No. 13 Maryland, then-No. 9 Michigan State, Nebraska and Rutgers, all teams the Buckeyes have lost to at some point this season. Against the Scarlet Knights, the Fighting Illini relied on freshman Giorgi Bezhanishvili, who finished the game with 35 points on 14-of-18 shooting from the field. “He’s a versatile interior guy that plays really well in their offense and defensive stuff,” Holtmann said. “He’s really smart, he can score over either shoulder and obviously when you have 35, you’re playing pretty confidently.” Illinois currently ranks No. 71 on KenPom, second-worst in the Big Ten to Rutgers. Ohio State is currently at No. 32 in the rankings. However, the Fighting Illini hold an advantage over the rest of the conference in forced turnovers. At 17 turnovers forced per game, Illinois is No. 15 in the NCAA and No. 1 in the Big Ten. On the other end, Ohio State holds a 17.1 turnover percentage, turning the ball BASKETBALL CONTINUES ON 14
