USG supports ending jump HANNAH ROTH LANTERN PHOTOGRAPHER

ASHLEY NELSON For The Lantern nelson.1217@osu.edu The Undergraduate Student Government General Assembly voted in support of ending the standing tradition of the Mirror Lake Jump with 35 aye, 6 nay and 6 abstained votes on Wednesday night.

The resolution was drafted following the death of Austin Singletary, a third-year in human nutrition, who passed away from injuries sustained during the jump.

Resolution 48-R-21: A Resolution to Advocate for Student Safety

by Ending the Mirror Lake Jump moves to end the event and also moves that “the (USG) will make every effort to support a new tradition created by the students that celebrates our university while respecting the safety of its students.”

“Historically, the purpose of student government at OSU has been to come up with and maintain campus traditions, so it’s perfectly within our review to be looking at this,” said the sponsor of the resolution, Joseph Warnimont, a second-year in aerospace engineering and the engineering senator in the general assembly.

Warnimont said that USG is looking at the response to the current tragedy because they don’t want to promote a new tradition while people are still mourning.

Several members of the general assembly debated for about an hour whether to end the tradition, often paying tribute to Singletary’s memory.

Student veterans encouraged to enroll in Veterans Affairs SUMMER CARTWRIGHT For The Lantern cartwright.117@osu.edu

COURTESY OF CHRISTINE ALLEY | CLERK OF COLUMBUS MOBILE OUTREACH

A mobile unit sits in a Columbus parking lot, ready to assist veterans and servicemen and women.

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs is making its services more available to student military veterans by bringing a portable outreach unit to the Ohio State campus.

Resembling a bloodmobile, the mobile unit is staffed with nurses, nurse practitioners and volunteers to provide services ranging from medical care and flu shots to mental health screenings.

VA is a government-run system that administers benefits and services, such as

health care, to assist service members, veterans and their dependents or survivors.

“Some soldiers can be in some pretty dire situations of mental health, so the VA has different things set up to help,” said Yannis Hadjiyannis, a current member of the Army Reserve and a fifth-year in molecular genetics. “The VA providing medical assistance to veterans is one of the best things that they can do.”

The mobile-outreach unit makes many stops each month and has eight planned in central Ohio for the month of December.

The stops include OSU and Columbus State Community College, as well as hospi-

tals in Columbus.

The mobile units sent to campus try to accommodate student veterans in an efficient manner that will take less than an hour of their time.

“Even with a tight schedule, they have time between class to come here and enroll or just find more information out about it,” said Christine Alley, a clerk of the VA mobile outreach program.

These services are free for all veterans with the exception of some co-payments.

“Medical care is income-based,” Alley said. “Student veterans do not typically have

OCIO shares shopping security tips for holidays CLAYTON EBERLY Lantern reporter eberly.72@osu.edu As the holiday season approaches, some people choose to avoid the crowds and do their shopping online. But even those who dodge other shoppers and stay home have other risks to consider, such as online threats that can put people’s personal and financial information in danger.

The Office of the Chief Information Officer recently shared a list of security tips for online shopping from OUCH!, a monthly security awareness newsletter, for this busy time of year.

Gary Clark, director of IT risk management for the OCIO, said that these tips are important to look at because it is very easy to be tricked by scammers.

“They do a lot of different things,” Clark said. “They’ll use the Black Friday or Cyber Monday specials as an opportunity to send out phishing emails with special offers and great deals. People see a deal and they click on the link, and that’s when bad things start to happen.”

Clark said that phishing is when scammers send out a message via email or text message to entice a the receiver to do something or take an action for a deal.

“They’ll tell people to click on the link and it will take them to a site that looks legitimate, but it’s not,” Clark said. “So they end up giving their credit card information

Clark said that hackers might slightly change the URL of their fake website to resemble an actual, trusted website.

It is also important to view bank statements regularly to make sure only authorized people are making purchases on cards.

“Don’t use your debit card ever when you make online transactions. You at least have some protection with credit cards,” Clark said. “If your bank allows you to set up alerts when you make a purchase, those are really good features to use.”

Clark said that the bottom line is that it’s important to be cautious no matter where you are shopping because anyone’s information can be compromised online.

Camp Kesem to raise $85K for kids affected by cancer SAMANTHA HOLLINGSHEAD

Photo Editor hollingshead.34@osu.edu

It’s rare to meet two people that call themselves “Sandy” and “Pinecone.” These names are the ones given to Samantha “Sandy” Denman and Steven “Pinecone” Reed as their official camp names in an organization called Camp Kesem.

Kesem, which is found at many universities across America including Ohio State, is a weeklong, all-expenses-paid summer camp dedicated to helping children, ages 6-16, who have a parent with cancer. Each of these campers, along with every other member of Kesem, is given a camp name when they join, a name that will stick with them for years to come.

“You’re not gonna take on a camp name unless you can hear that name and have a big smile on your face, thumbs up and be like, ‘Yeah, that’s the one,’” said Reed, a director for the OSU chapter.

With OSU coming up on its fifth year of camp, the organization is looking to increase not only their number of campers but the weeks and money needed to do so as well.

“Last summer, we actually had 103 campers at camp. This upcoming summer, we’re looking to have 135,” said Reed, a fifth-year in environmental engineering.

“You work so hard throughout the year, and then you see how much it means to the kids, and it’s just incredible to see how happy they are.”

Samantha “Sandy” Denman Third-year in early childhood education

Unlike previous summers with only one week of camp, these campers will be split into two different weeks at the end of July, a task that Reed said will require raising around $85,000 by summer 2016.

“Usually we have to wait-list campers, unfortunately, every year,” Reed said, but he said he hopes this year will be less of a problem with the added week and more people getting involved.

Although Kesem was founded at Stanford University back in 2001, it didn’t come to OSU until 2011.

OSU’s first summer camp only consisted of about 20 kids but has grown more and more each year, along with the staff and volunteers involved as well.

“This year, right off the bat, we had a huge interest in Camp Kesem at Ohio State,” said Denman, a PR and marketing coordinator for Kes-

em. “It’s great to see that.”

The OSU chapter currently has between 150 and 200 active members who all are in charge of helping raise the necessary funds to send each of the 135 kids to camp, free of charge.

“You work so hard throughout the year, and then you see how much it means to the kids, and it’s just incredible to see how happy they are,” said Denman, a thirdyear in early childhood education.

The camp’s original founder, Iris Rave, started the organization in 2001 because while there were many camps for children with cancer, there weren’t any for those that had a parent with cancer, Denman said.

“There wasn’t a camp like Camp Kesem out there at all,” Denman said.

The idea quickly became a success and drew attention all over the country. By the year 2015, the now-national organization has 62 chapters from coast to coast and has helped thousands of kids and their families through harsh times.

“Last summer, we were able to send 5,001 kids to camp, which if you look at the growth over the years is just tremendous,” Reed said, referring to all of the nation’s chapters. “It’s awesome that we have been able to sustain the amount of growth over this period

Campers and counselors pose for a picture during the annual summer camp. of time.”

Part of that success has come from the hard work and dedication many of the Kesem volunteers and members put toward the organization, Reed said.

“There are just so many genuine people in the organization from our campers and our camper parents to our counselors, our professional staff, all of our volunteers,” Reed said. “It’s just such an amazing group of people to surround yourselves with.”

However, the term “camp” doesn’t mean just one week each summer to these people. Most Kes-

em members are a constant support year-round for the campers and their families, including something they like to refer to as “Call on Kesem.”

“That’s where families can reach out to us to go to one of their child’s sporting events, if they need a babysitter or maybe they are just going through a rough time,” Denman said.

The year-round support also goes into fundraisers, bake sales, profit shares with various companies like Chipotle and individual funding for each coordinator and counselor.

Columbus (Division of Police’s) web portal and then it goes to the OSU Police Department’s website.

Then it puts all of their information into an email and sends it out to people.”

Pitt, a resident adviser in Jones Tower, came up with the idea while talking to another RA about a mugging that happened to one of their residents and was not reported to students.

“We were talking about how it sucks that you don’t find out about things like that,” Pitt said. “We wish we knew that things like this were happening off campus because a lot of our friends live there.”

During fall break, Pitt decided he would create Aware OSU and share it with friends and other students to cover crimes not included in OSU safety emails.

“I posted about it on the (OSU) free and for sale page on Facebook, and 100 people signed up that weekend,” Pitt said. “There were about 150 people signed up over the first couple weeks.”

Pitt’s site got a lot of attention on Oct. 27 when the university became aware of an anonymous online threat to harm students and teachers.

On that day, Pitt said he posted about Aware OSU on Reddit, a social platform where anyone can make anonymous posts in online communities called “subreddits.”

“About 300 people signed up that day. So it’s at about 450 people us-

ing the service as of now,” Pitt said.

Taylor Humphrey, a fourth-year in strategic communications, said that she considered signing up for Aware OSU after the threat happened.

“It was hard to trust any source that was talking about the threat because I didn’t know most of them,” Humphrey said.

Humphrey added that Aware OSU seems like it picks up where the OSU safety alerts might be lacking.

“This tool sends out all the information on every crime in our area that happened the previous day,” Pitt said. “It reports them regardless if there was a continuing safety impact or not.”

Pitt also said that the feedback he has received is positive and “people really seem to like it.”

“A lot of people have told me that they’re really happy with everything and that it’s really cool and needed,” Pitt said. “I haven’t seen a negative response yet.”

The overall purpose of the site is to keep people fully aware and give them enough information to make decisions about where unsafe locations are around the campus area, Pitt said.

“The information I’m pulling for this is available online but it can be hard to find,” Pitt said. “People don’t know where to look so I made it easier for them to be aware of what’s going on.”

KESEM FROM 2

“One of our biggest fundraising events is called ‘Make the Magic.’

It’s a benefit dinner,” Denman said.

Kesem members are currently in the preparations for the upcoming April 2 event that will be held in the Archie Griffin Grand Ballroom at the Ohio Union. The event will include a guest speaker, silent and live auctions and a dinner.

Reed says the end of the semester means fundraising will kick back up for the coordinators and counselors who are in charge of raising a minimum of $300 on their own.

“That’s one thing we like to do over break, is go home and solicit donations from any contacts we have,” he said.

As for the uncommon nicknames, Denman said it’s more than just a single word they and the campers go by.

“At Camp Kesem you can be whoever you want to be,” Denman said. “It’s a time for the kids to forget about all of the worries they have in the world and just be whoever they want to be.”

According to the Office of Military and Veterans Services’ website, OSU currently has more than 1,800 undergraduate and graduate students who are veterans, dependents, National Guard, active duty and Army Reserve members.

Along with medical assistance, the outreach programs can help veterans apply for benefits such as the GI Bill, which provides scholarships for students who served in the military.

“The GI Bill covers my student health insurance at Ohio State,” said Dan Corrigan, a second-year in exploration who served as USG FROM 1

a sergeant in the Marine Corps. “That’s the biggest advantage of being enrolled in the VA.” After enrolling for VA benefits in the mobile unit, student veterans will be contacted regarding their eligibility for assistance programs — such as the GI Bill — via telephone and email.

However, some veterans are hesitant to enroll in VA programs because of doubt or lack of knowledge regarding assistance programs.

“There are some guys who don’t know about Veterans Affairs,” Corrigan said.

“Stopping in an outreach vehicle for a few minutes could really help them out.”

Hadjiyannis said the military mindset could also be at fault for lack of enrollment.

“That kind of culture where saying that something is wrong is a big defeat (and) can be really negative, which could be reason why some do not enroll,” he said.

Alley said she believes that the outreach program is appealing to student veterans because it strays away from typical military outlets.

“They come in here and it’s a small and intimate atmosphere that isn’t crowded,” she said.

The next date that the mobile unit will be on campus is Dec. 13.

“I totally believe that this was a complete tragedy and I send my condolences to Austin’s family, but the reason I voted ‘no’ was because I believe that (USG) is the official voice of the student population, and from what I could tell the student body did not support this resolution,” Glass said. “If anything, I think we did not have a solid idea if the student body did or did not support this resolution.”

Levi Cramer, a third-year in political science and the senior director of governmental affairs said in a speech during the discussion that the Mirror Lake jump is not what makes students Buckeyes.

“We are Buckeyes because we come together to share our rivalry with the University of Michigan,” Cramer said. “These events are not what make us Buckeyes, but rather the camaraderie that we experience being students at the best university in the United States.

ENTOMOLOGY Entomology 1101 students are making books about myths based on insects. ON PAGE 5

Ohio State alumnus leads others to entertainment success CARLY CHETON For The Lantern cheton.2@osu.edu A former Ohio State business administration student has developed a business that will teach entrepreneurship principles to struggling creatives in Los Angeles.

Alumnus Billy Goldberg drew from personal experience in the development of Defying Gravity 101, as he made the move to Los Angeles after completing his bachelor’s degree in business management from OSU in 1991.

“It was just time for me to go out and experience something new.

California was always thought of as the land of opportunity, and it really was that for me,” Goldberg said of his initial move. “I started with nothing and was really able to build something.”

Defying Gravity 101 is a fourpart educational program designed to prepare artists, actors and musicians for professional success by narrowing in on what makes them unique and teaching them to leverage their strengths.

After climbing the ranks as an entertainment agent with the thennamed William Morris Agency and then launching his own business — The Buckeye Group, which helps

Independently, Goldberg developed a presentation on how to rise above and get ahead in the entertainment business. After speaking to Key’s students, he was surprised to realize that he had essentially summarized the course’s driving philosophy.

“We realized that what we were saying really resonated with the students. And from there, we’ve

started to get the message out more,” he said.

Though Goldberg and Key have targeted those seeking careers in the entertainment industry, the program’s principles can also be applied to organizations and companies.

“It’s really a mindset,” Goldberg said. “We talk about four things that really help you move forward toward your goals. And what we did for the sake of these performing arts students was put these ideas

into entertainment terms, but they could be applied to anything.”

Drawing from personal experience, Goldberg and Key developed the four tenants of Defying Gravity 101. The program emphasizes that taking action, telling your own story, building a network and finishing whatever you start are essential steps in creating a legacy — no matter the location or objective.

“I tell all of these kids, whatever you do that’s outside of this class is the thing that’s going to get you to where you want to be,” Goldberg said. “It’s not going to be how well you memorize your lines; it’s not going to be how good looking you are. It’s about what makes you different and what makes you interesting.”

Defying Gravity 101 is available for online access, but can also be presented in person. The Defying Gravity 101 website contains more details about the program’s specifics.

Student-produced play takes flight ABIGAIL SECKER Lantern reporter secker.1@osu.edu The staged reading of “Little Wings” not only offers audience members the opportunity to witness a never-before-performed play but also invites them to comment and converse with cast members on the work’s continued development.

Written, directed and performed by Ohio State theater students, the feature-length play “Little Wings” will be presented to audience members on Monday and Tuesday in the Drake Performance and Event Center. Following the staged reading, the cast and playwright will encourage audience members to offer their insight and opinions on the work.

Karie Miller, a doctoral candidate studying theater and the director of “Little Wings,” said that the play offers viewers an opportunity to observe a very young play as it continues to grow and develop.

“In the lifestyle of the play, it’s in its early stages, and it will still go through other stages,” Miller said. “It’s still in development, so this is an interesting point to begin interacting with the play because you’re sort of getting in on the ground level and can see where it goes from here.”

Cecelia Bellomy, a third-year in English and the writer of “Little Wings,” said the play is the first full-length play that she has written. Although Bellomy has been writing and editing drafts of the piece since May, she admits that there is still more work to be done.

“I consider (the reading) a performance of a work in progress,” Bellomy said. “I’ve been working on it for a long time, so I have a pretty good idea of how it’s going to turn out and what I want it to be, but I don’t think it’s completely finished.”

During the performance, actors will be out of their seats and moving around the stage,

but they will carry their scripts with them.

Bellomy said she hopes that the event will serve the dual purpose of entertaining audience members while also providing her with feedback she can use when creating the final draft of the work.

The piece, which is set in a ghost town after the coal rush in Appalachia, follows the relationship between a college-aged writer and her grandmother, and the story explores the themes of identity, age, ambition and youth, Miller said.

“It’s still in development, so this is an interesting point to begin interacting with the play because you’re sort of getting in on the ground level and can see where it goes from here.”

Karie Miller Director, “Little Wings”

“Plays are written about the most important moments of our lives,” she said. “This moment for (the main character) is about figuring out who she is based on what she has inherited and what she creates for herself in terms of her identity and how she negotiates that literally in life but also spiritually.”

Miller said the feeling of being caged by circumstances is a central issue throughout the play and something that makes the work relevant to OSU students.

“I think that the sense of not knowing what comes next, or how to make the next step, or even who you are in relation to the next step is a pretty common feeling in your early 20s as you’re exiting college,” Miller said.

Entomology students bind art and science LEAH MCCLURE Lantern reporter mcclure.12@osu.edu Students probably weren’t expecting to write a book when they signed up for Entomology 1101, a general education course that focuses on insect biology.

Carol Anelli, professor and associate chair for the Department of Entomology at Ohio State, teaches the Entomology 1101 course along with Wendy Klooster, a program coordinator in the same department. Anelli assigned her students the insect-myth project, which will require them to create an insect-related myth and then turn it into a book.

Although this is the first year Anelli has incorporated this assignment into a course at OSU, it was a part of her curriculum during her time teaching at Washington State University. The assignment serves the purpose of facilitating connections among entomology, anthropology, creative writing, art and history, according to an article Anelli and some of her colleagues published about the insect-myth assignment in 2009.

“It’s teaching students to think in a more interdisciplinary way,” Anelli said.

Film makes helpful videos humorous SADE TAVAREZ Lantern reporter tavarez.4@osu.edu While instructional videos are helpful, they aren’t always humorous. That’s where director Joe Sola comes in.

“Watercolor” is a 2006 short film that Sola made with playwright Will Eno in the Columbus area. It is about four minutes long and portrays a dark, comedic take on instructional art programs like those seen on PBS. As part of the Wexner Center for the Arts’ 25th anniversary, an entire year of programs that were produced by the Film/Video Studio department will be screened.

“Watercolor,” which is Sola’s third project with the department, will be shown until Dec. 31.

Sola said he has an affinity for the city of Columbus.

“I knew that making this film in Columbus would be much easier and faster than if Will and I were to shoot it in New York or Los Angeles,” he said.

Sola said he found inspiration from the late painter and art instructor Bob Ross.

“Depicting the relationship between creativity and death was an interesting proposition, one that I live with still today … I was inspired by the Bob Ross painting shows and the simplistic aesthetics of instructional (and) educational film,” Sola said.

“The Joy of Painting,” hosted by Ross, ran on PBS from 1983 until 1994. For 11 years, Ross instructed viewers on how to paint his chosen landscape of the day using different techniques.

The program is fronted by Jennifer Lange, the curator for the Wexner Center’s Film/Video Studio.

“The way the (Film/Video Studio Program) is structured is that every month, a new video shows in that space, and it follows the calendar month exactly,” Lange said. “So,

this entire year, the programming is dedicated to works that have been supported through the Film/Video Studio Residency program.”

lost its tongue for the entomology course. She stated that she appreciates that this assignment allows for creative expression on top of being a valuable source of education.

“I enjoy the immense amount of learning,” Mayle said.

Creating the story is just one component of the assignment, however. The students are also required to make their own books, an aspect that printmaker Marilyn McPheron

is assisting them with.

McPheron has been crafting books since 2007, and spoke with the entomology students about different types of books, focusing on the accordion style, the type of book they will be making. “(Accordion-style books) can be very simple and be effective or they can be very elaborate and be effective, so it leaves a lot of opportunity to be creative,” McPheron said.

McPheron acknowledged the value of being creative and noted that story-sharing might even generate more interest in the field of entomology.

“They have an opportunity to take what they’re learning about entomology and make it into a story and present it to others,” she said.

Although Anelli’s entomology students will still have to complete a final exam after their books are complete, she said she hopes this project will offer a refreshing change while helping her students appreciate the “rich human history of mythology.”

“They should have fun with it and have some creative juices flowing at the end of the semester when it’s a lot harder to feel that way,” Anelli said.

LITTLE WINGS FROM 4

SEX TALK

Consent is not just sexy, it’s necessary REGINA SQUERI For The Lantern squeri.7@osu.edu This week, I am going to talk about something very close and personal to me. I may get excited or even angry, but only because I am passionate about this topic.

We’re going to talk about consent. For some this might become a triggering topic to read about, so this is a warning before you continue.

I have been meaning to write on this subject for months and have been trying to gather all that I want to say about it. I know too many people and close friends who have been victims of sexual assault, and as you know as a student at Ohio State, there have been too many emails from the University containing such reports.

It honestly pains and embarrasses me that this kind of rape culture still exists at this insti-

tution of higher learning, not to mention thousands of others. That it exists at all should be taken as a personal offense to all of us.

For those who may not have heard the term “rape culture” before, or are confused by it, here is a brief explanation. Simply, it is any cultivation of thinking in which people are treated as gateways to or objects of sex rather than as individuals who deserve rights and respect. It is especially prevalent on college campuses, unfortunately.

Here’s the thing – you need to get consent every time and no matter what. I don’t care about genders. And by “get consent” I mean ask in a full sentence if they want to have sex and the other person must say “yes.” An absence of a “no” is not consent, so don’t assume that the other person wants it, not even if you have been in a relationship with them for years.

Being in a relationship does not

mean consent is a given.

Though it is true that the majority of sexual assaults are perpetrated by men onto women, it is by far not the only situation in which it happens. If someone in a pairing has any kind of upper hand, that person needs to check in with the other. And I mean every time you want to take another step, not just once at the beginning, especially if you don’t know the other very well.

Each time you want to go further, check in with them that it is still ok. If you do not receive an enthusiastic yes, then stop and say something like “We can just kiss/ cuddle/stop.” Make your partner feels safe to change their mind.

This should be common knowledge by now, but if someone has been drinking heavily, they legally cannot consent to sex even if they say “yes.”

If I hear one more time that asking consent “takes the fun out of

sex” I will literally scream. Anyone who legitimately thinks that is admitting that they care more about their own libido than they do about other people’s lives or well-being and there is nothing else to it.

Think about it – politely asking for consent is not only the right thing to do, it also only takes three seconds! I’m really getting tired of this constant debate that seems to be going on — just ask for consent!

I know that I might sound accusatory, but it’s only because we should be far past debating whether or not consent is required and I am frustrated. Remember the golden rule from first grade? Treat others like you would want to be treated! If you don’t want to treated like a voiceless meat puppet then don’t treat others that way.

No one owes anyone sex. Ever.

“I think it’s very relatable to college students, especially because it doesn’t really offer answers, which I think is important for theater to do — to kind of allow us to dwell and reflect and explore together.”

team, sitting ninth in the nation in digs per set (17.62). Three different players are averaging more than three digs per set: Fisher (4.53), freshman outside hitter Taylor Lord (3.67) and freshman libero Allie Yurkovich (3.46).

To compare, OSU has one such player in junior libero Valeria León, who has picked up 4.34 digs per set.

“The thing that they do well is they really keep the ball in play,” Carlston said. “You can tell they’re a well-coached team and a high-IQ team … They’re going to force you to be patient.”

The Buckeyes and Colonels have met three times before, twice in the

first round of the tournament. OSU has swept all three matches, with the last coming in 2006.

4 Buckeyes win awards The results of the postseason awards for the Big Ten conference were released on Tuesday, and four OSU players were recipients.

Junior middle blocker Taylor Sandbothe was unanimously selected to the all-Big Ten team by conference coaches. It’s the third straight year she has taken home a postseason award, having been named to the all-freshman squad in 2013 and an all-Big Ten honorable mention last season.

Sandbothe led OSU in hitting percentage (.364) and blocks per

they are,” Rohlik said. “They can’t be undefeated every year. They are very talented, very skilled, very young and they are a good hockey team. They are going through some of those growing pains as well.”

Minnesota’s roster contains 10 freshmen, including starting netminder Eric Schierhorn, five sophomores, 10 juniors and just three seniors.

OSU enters Minneapolis with an 0-6 record on the road this season.

A new season Heading into conference play after a brutal nonconference slate of games, the young OSU team is looking forward to a change of pace and getting to play on one of college hockey’s biggest stages in Minnesota.

“The past is the past, you can’t change that but it is a new opportunity,” freshman forward Mason Jobst said. “Basically, preseason is over for us and now the real season starts. I’ve heard the boys talking in the locker room about how it is a whole different level. I’m excited to get out there and see what it’s all about.”

So far this season, Jobst has two goals, three assists and has quickly become OSU’s top faceoff man.

Friday’s game is something he said he has been looking forward to since he stepped onto campus.

“This is why I came to Ohio State, to play Big Ten hockey,” Jobst said.

Puck drop on Friday and Saturday is set for 8 p.m.

“I think what JaQuan’s got to learn is to take over a game. But he’s got to do it within what we’re trying to do,” Matta said.

Though he’s averaging 10 points per game, he’s struggled scoring in the moments when it’s most needed.

In the narrow loss to Louisiana Tech, he managed just four points in 31 minutes. Then against Memphis, which was the team’s third loss in the four-game losing skid, Lyle tallied 18 points, a solid total.

However, just five of those came in the second half when the Buckeyes were entrenched in a neck-andneck battle.

Tuesday night’s Big Ten/ACC challenge against Virginia was no different, as he went 1-of-7 from the field with one foul. His lone basket was a 3-pointer at the nine-minute mark in the second half.

The season is still young and there’s always hope a team can turn the corner, but it’s going to get more challenging as Big Ten play looms. “(Improving) just comes with being tougher and taking care of the ball,” Tate said.

Other than experience — or lack thereof — free throws and turnovers are what have plagued this team so far this season.

If Lyle is to be the primary ball handler, cutting down on turnovers will be key for the Buckeyes’ success, as they will then have more opportunities to get shots up.

First serve for the second-round match is scheduled to be at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday in St. John Arena.

OSU freshman guard JaQuan Lyle (13) puts up a shot against Virginia’s Darius Thompson (51) on Dec. 1 at the Schottenstein Center. OSU lost 64-58.

94 turnovers, 20 of which were committed by Lyle — the most of anybody on the team. He’s had success in the assist department, as he leads the team with 5.8 per contest.

It’s just that sometimes the freshman tries to force a pass that isn’t there, leading to turnovers.

“Sometimes it’s just as simple as, ‘Throw the ball over there,’ and that’s the best play that can be made,” Matta said.

When it comes down to free throws, any coach around the country wants them to be knocked down.

It’s what oftentimes separates good teams from the bad.

As of right now, based off the team’s current average of 58 percent, it would fall under the category of a bad team. Lyle’s woes from the charity stripe are contributing to that, as he’s converting on a measly 56 percent of his attempts.

“We have to understand the small things are making a huge difference for us,” Matta said in reference to the turnovers and free-throw struggles.

Though the Buckeyes took a loss

Tuesday night, it was arguably the best performance they’ve put forth thus far this season. Perhaps most importantly, it also diminished much of the ambiguity surrounding their ceiling.

“There are a few certainties,” Matta said. “And hopefully we find those certainties sooner than later because that’s where you can start building to get better.”

NCAA tourney awaits women’s volleyball MATT WILKES Lantern reporter wilkes.22@osu.edu With a 12-8 record and a sixthplace finish in the Big Ten, arguably the nation’s best conference, the Ohio State women’s volleyball team believes it is prepared for the do-or-die nature of the NCAA tournament.

As the No. 12 overall seed in the tournament, OSU (23-9) is set to take on Robert Morris (19-12) in the first round on Friday at 7 p.m. in St. John Arena.

“It really is the third season,” coach Geoff Carlston said. “This is the fun part. There’s 64 teams now that have a chance … We beat Nebraska and went five (sets) with Minnesota, so I think our team believes we can make a run.”

By earning the right to host for the first time since 2009, the Buckeyes accomplished one of the goals they set at the beginning of the season.

“Getting to host is a huge opportunity, we’re so excited about that,” senior outside hitter Katie Mitchell said. “It’s something no one on our team has ever experienced.

It’s been a long time since St. John (Arena) has hosted.”

Unlike Robert Morris, which has won seven consecutive matches to end the season, OSU isn’t coming into the tournament on a winning streak, having gone 5-7 since Oct. 21. But after taking eventual No. 2 overall seed Minnesota to five sets and sweeping Rutgers in their final two regular-season games, the Buckeyes are going into the weekend with renewed confidence.

“Battling with Minnesota is something I think we’re all going to remember and know that it could be a potential (big) match for us in the long run of the tournament,”

No. 12 seed Buckeyes ready to kick off tourney vs. Robert Morris on Friday senior middle blocker Tyler Richardson said.

Nearly every player on OSU’s roster has previously played in the tournament, as the program advanced to the Sweet 16 last year and has qualified in three of the last four seasons.

Carlston believes having that experience will be huge for his team, especially in helping the two freshman starters — outside hitter Audra Appold and setter Taylor Hughes — who haven’t been there before.

“Our freshmen have played great under pressure all year long and the rest of our team’s done a great job of laying the dynamic and

supporting the rest of us so we can play fearless,” Carlston said. “The team that’s going to win the national championship is going to be the one that wants those moments and plays fearless in those moments.”

Most of the team has tournament experience, but the grueling conference schedule has prepared OSU more than anything, said senior middle blocker Andrea Kacsits.

“It’s one of those conferences that every single match is a big match,” she said. “You never have a team that will let down or anything … and because we’ve had that kind of training over the last three years, I would say that the tournament becomes a little bit — I don’t want to

say easier — but it becomes a little bit more in step with what we’ve been doing the rest of the season.”

Scouting Robert Morris After winning the Northeast Conference tournament, the Colonels earned an automatic bid and will be making their sixth tournament appearance and their first since 2003.

Carlston noted Robert Morris for being an evenly distributed team, as it has five players averaging 16 or more attack attempts per game.

“You can’t key, necessarily, on any one individual and they run a system (where) they can mix it up,” he said.

Four Colonels have registered more than 200 kills this season, led by junior outside hitter Arden Fisher’s 353 (3.12 per set).

Robert Morris has also proven itself to be a scrappy defensive

Minnesota is one of college hockey’s premier programs, but right now it’s in a slump.

The Golden Gophers own 35 NCAA tournament berths, including four consecutive trips, 21 Frozen Four appearances and five NCAA titles, which means there’s undoubtedly a lot of pressure for coach Don Lucia to turn his Golden Gopher program around.

Given its 2-5 record at home, one might think it is bound to come out this weekend with a wounded-animal mentality.

“I think we should look at them in that way,” senior captain Anthony Greco said. “We have both struggled. Last weekend, we proved to ourselves the team that we can be and I think we need to take advantage of that against this team and come out firing right away.”

Rohlik knows all too well that lack of success in Minneapolis is not received positively.

Buckeyes begins Big Ten season in Minnesota The Ohio State men’s hockey team is set to travel to Minneapolis to take on reigning Big Ten champion Minnesota for a two-game series opening up conference play.

The Buckeyes (3-9) are coming off a weekend in which they were swept by sixth-ranked Nebraska-Omaha. For the Golden Gophers (4-7), it’s much of the same, as they’ve lost three straight games, including being swept at home by No. 7 St. Cloud State.

The stage is set for a rematch of last year’s Big Ten tournament semifinal, a game that the Golden Gophers won 3-0 at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit.

One thing the Scarlet and Gray are looking to improve on is winning tight games. OSU trailed Nebraska-Omaha by one goal late in each game last weekend before an empty-net goal sealed its fate.

KHALID MOALIM Multimedia Editor moalim.2@osu.edu The Ohio State men’s basketball team’s fourth straight loss Tuesday night against 10th-ranked Virginia marked the longest skid for coach Thad Matta before January in the 12 seasons he’s been in Columbus.

The losses are slightly encouraging because of how close they have been, as no loss has been by more than eight points thus far, but the Buckeyes have been unable to get over the hump.

“It just seems like all of our games come down to the wire,” sophomore forward Jae’Sean Tate said after the 64-58 loss. “We just have to figure out a way to bring it home.”

In its quest to finally bring one home, the team is relying heavily on the leadership from junior forward Marc Loving and sophomore guard Keita Bates-Diop, but it needs more.

Enter freshman guard JaQuan Lyle, who could very well be that boost.

Lyle, a 6-foot-5 combo guard from Evansville, Indiana, who was a late addition to this season’s recruiting class after former guard D’Angelo Russell left for the NBA draft, is a player who could potentially be the catalyst for the team if he can get going.

“We just have to continue to get (Lyle) thinking and understanding what needs to be done because he has the capabilities of making an impact,” Matta said on Monday.

Lyle has shown some flashes of the player Matta hopes his young guard will eventually become, but it has been marred by inconsistency and weaknesses in certain areas.

In OSU’s lone exhibition contest against Walsh, he flirted with a triple-double, finishing the game with 19 points, seven assists and nine rebounds.

Other times it’s very obvious he has corners that need to be polished.
