Ohio State coach Kevin McGuff says team is ready for Big Ten Tournament
Ohio State women's basketball looks different compared to last year's Big Ten Tournament, but coach Kevin McGuff is confident in his team.
Ohio State women's basketball coach Kevin McGuff was arrested May 6 in a suspected drunk-driving incident, during which he was found parked in his own front yard, according to a police report cited by the Columbus Dispatch.
Police in Dublin, Ohio said they arrested McGuff on May 6 before later noting he was found in his Toyota Sequoia in an incident report on Tuesday.
Ohio State athletics told the Dispatch, which is part of the USA TODAY Network, that it is aware of the matter and following the situation.
"This is an ongoing, personal legal matter, and the department will share additional information at the appropriate time," said Maria Slovikovski, associate director for communications at the department of athletics.
The report notes another driver called the police after seeing a Toyota Sequoia driving recklessly, hitting multiple curbs and driving partially through a yard. The report also states it took the driver more than two minutes to open the driver's side door, and the driver denied being under the influence.
McGuff was asked to perform a field sobriety test at the scene and was asked to recite the alphabet from letters D to R. The report noted the instructions had to be repeated three times. He also refused to take a breathalyzer test.
McGuff was eventually taken into custody and charged with an OVI, or operating a vehicle impaired, in Ohio. He was released to his wife at 9:31 p.m., just more than an hour after being taken into custody. Since he refused a breathalyzer test, his driver's license was also suspended.
McGuff, 55, has been at Ohio State since 2013 and has won four Big Ten regular-season championships. He led the Buckeyes to a Sweet 16 and Elite Eight appearance in back-to-back seasons in 2022 and 2023. He has a 224-109 career record at Ohio State after leaving Washington, where he coached from 2011-13.

Paul Finebaum criticizes Ohio State ranking in preseason poll
During an appearance on ESPN's "Get Up" Tuesday morning, college football analyst Paul Finebaum shared his biggest takeaway from the season's first AP Top 25 poll. His opinion was clear. Alabama is being underrated, and Ohio State is getting far too much credit. 'Don't be too shocked by this, Greeny, but Ohio State is too high. And, Heather, calm down, Alabama is too low,' Finebaum said. Ranked No. 8, Alabama sits lower than many expected, a placement Finebaum finds puzzling. He believes the Crimson Tide are legitimate College Football Playoff national championship contenders, especially following the announcement that Ty Simpson will be the starting quarterback this season. Simpson, now in his fourth year with the program, has served as the backup the past two seasons but has yet to start a game. That will change this fall. 'I really think Alabama is a serious national championship contender,' Finebaum emphasized. In contrast, Finebaum believes Ohio State, ranked No. 3, is being overhyped. He argued the Buckeyes are benefiting too much from last season's national championship and not being judged based on the current roster. 'I don't get Ohio State at all, Greeny. I know they won the national championship last year, but that has nothing to do with it,' Finebaum said. 'They don't have the same team, and that national championship hangover is going to catch up with them.' Finebaum went a step further and predicted that Ohio State's high ranking would be short-lived. He expects an early-season loss to top-ranked Texas. 'We'll see that in about two and a half weeks when Texas goes up there and walks out of that stadium a winner,' he added. ESPN's Heather Dinich agreed with Finebaum's assessment. 'He's right that Ohio State has a lot of questions and they're too high,' Dinich said. With the college football season just around the corner, Finebaum believes the AP Poll is already missing the mark on two of the sport's biggest programs.

TreVeyon Henderson fantasy football preview 2025: Stats, season outlook, predictions
Rotoworld Staff, TreVeyon Henderson 2025 Fantasy Preview 2024: The No. 1 running back recruit of the 2021 class, Henderson (5'10/203) quickly made good on the hype with a 183/1,248/15 rushing line for Ohio State as a true freshman. He added 27 catches for 312 yards and four touchdowns. Henderson's next two seasons would be marred by various minor injuries, limiting him to 18 total appearances. Both his efficiency and volume dipped, preventing Henderson from reaching 1,000 yards on the ground in either campaign. The Buckeye boosters then recruited Ole Miss power back Quinshon Judkins to be the thunder to Henderson's lightning. What's changed: Henderson promptly rebounded with 1,016 yards and 10 scores on just 144 attempts last season. He averaged 7.1 yards per carry and added 284 yards through the air. Every Henderson touch had the potential to end up in the end zone. 2025 Outlook: Having already been pigeonholed as a committee back in college, Henderson will look to avoid the same fate in the pros. He will nevertheless begin his career as a third-down weapon for an OC in Josh McDaniels who has always featured such a role out of his backfields. If Henderson's floor behind Rhamondre Stevenson is shaky, the ceiling is tantalizing. Get personalized fantasy football insights based on your league settings with FantasyLife+.
