‘The lid’s going to come off for him’: Jake Diebler remains confident in freshman Anthony Thompson
Despite a tough first two games at the collegiate level, Ohio State freshman Anthony Thompson still has the full confidence of his head coach, Jake Diebler. Through two games, Thompson — the fourth-highest-rated recruit in program history — is averaging three points per game on 9.1% shooting (1-for-11) in 18.5 minutes per game. After playing two seasons at Lebanon and two at Western Reserve Academy in Hudson, Thompson was billed as one of the 2026 recruiting class’s best pure shooters. Through two games donning the scarlet and gray, Thompson is 0-for-6 from beyond the arc.

Ringside Cafe serves burgers with a side of old Columbus
Columbus has plenty of places to grab a burger and a beer, but few have been doing it since 1897 like Ringside Café. Why it matters: This downtown hole-in-the-wall is a throwback to an older Columbus — full of history, kitschy personality and darn good burgers. Zoom in: Ringside sits along Pearl Street, an eclectic alley lined with colorful graffiti and quirky businesses. A nearly-building-long contemporary mural in the patio area show's Columbus native James "Buster" Douglas' infamous knockout of "Iron Mike" Tyson. The vibe: Inside, dark wood and exposed brick fill a cozy dining room that fits only a couple tables and a few booths. There are a handful of stools at the bar as well. There's vintage boxing memorabilia and paintings everywhere. It didn't feel like this was anyone's first time at Ringside. Around noon on a Saturday , a few older gentlemen sipped beers and talking sports like they'd been doing it for decades. The TVs aren't great and there's no surround sound, but nobody seemed to care. Best bites: Burgers dominate the boxing-inspired menu, including the monstrous, 1 1/2-pound Buster Douglas ($32). I ordered the Smokin' Joe BBQ Burger ($15), topped with bacon, cheddar and barbecue
