Ohio State WBB Stumbles Again, Deibler Builds Hope & Kansas Looms | Buckeyes Daily Blitz

Ohio State basketball had a rough weekend, and Jeff “Tito” Thitoff breaks it all down on this episode of The Buckeyes Daily Blitz Podcast.

The Ohio State women’s basketball season is over after another frustrating second-round exit at home, this time against Notre Dame. Jeff reacts to the Buckeyes’ 83-73 loss, Hannah Hidalgo’s huge game, and what this result means for Kevin McGuff moving forward. With three straight NCAA Tournament exits in the second round on Ohio State’s home floor, the pressure is only rising.

Jeff also dives into what comes next for the Buckeyes women, why keeping the core together matters, and how important this offseason could be for the future of the program.

On the men’s side, there’s reason for optimism. Jake Diebler reflected on the chemistry, fight, and late-season push from Ohio State men’s basketball, and Jeff explains why the way the Buckeyes finished the year should give fans some hope. There’s also discussion about roster retention, Bruce Thornton’s departure, transfer portal questions, and why Ohio State may be building toward a stronger 2026 season.

Plus, the Buckeyes now know they’ll face Kansas in the CBS Sports Classic, and Jeff explains why tougher non-conference games could help Ohio State in the long run.
