New organizations are always popping up on campus, and it is not uncommon for students to find a new interest in starting a club.

Men's Basketball: Ohio survives in overtime against Ball State

Robert Keegan III | Feb. 7, 2024

Ohio is now the winner of six of its last seven games after securing a thrilling 84-79 win against Ball State on the road in overtime. In overtime, Ohio’s 12 points were enough to keep Ball State, who hurt itself quite a bit at the free-throw line in overtime, out of contention. A defining moment of overtime was on an Ohio defensive possession with under a minute left to play in the overtime period. The shot missed the mark, but when Anderson came down, whistles blew, signifying a shooting foul on Wiznitzer, which would yield three free throws from Anderson. Read the story here.
