This Week in Twitter is a look at some of the week's best and most entertaining tweets from Buckeyeland and beyond.

So yesterday didn't quite turn out as planned with Ohio State getting handled by a two-man team from the Summit League, paving the way for the Illuminardi's victory lap. Not only did he predict the Buckeyes would fall to Oral Roberts, he had them as the tournament's 28th-best team. 

But hey they ate well and that's what counts. I'm kidding. Yesterday sucks but college kids should absolutely enjoy the experience leading up to the game(s). 

Unfortunately, CJ Walker hinted at Ohio State looking past Oral Roberts which, well that's a tough pill for everyone to swallow. 

Speaking of taken for granted, ranking Disney movies was apparently a thing this week and E.J. Liddell and assistant coach Jake Diebler had contrasting lists. 

No hate on Disney, make no mistake, but I don't think I've seen five Disney movies. Pretty sure I'm at four and that's solely the result of having kids over the last four years. Do childless adults sit down and watch Cars? 

Whatever, let's put a bow on OSU hoops-centric tweets after yesterday's debacle. Time to take a deep breath and Zen out. 

Looks like I missed the tweet from Tate about transferring to Central Perk University. I hope he hits Ross in the face with a heater over the middle. 

While we're on the topic of elite quarterbacks, Justin Fields let it be known he plans to log a time in the 4.3 range when he runs the 40 at Ohio State's Pro Day. 

Amid a week featuring a ton of former Buckeyes inking new NFL deals, Curtis Samuel signing with the Washington Football Team and pairing with former teammate Terry McLaurin made the biggest splash in the Ohio State stratosphere. 

Terry seems pleased. 

The reunion wasn't lost on Cardale Jones. 

And now Washington has two extremely fast and dangerous weapons on offense. 

Back at the WHAC, Ryan Day let it be known he and Garrett Wilson took Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Chris Olave behind the woodshed in a pickup hoops game which shouldn't be shocking based on this old footage of Day's wet jumper. 

Zach Harrison implied the jumper isn't quite as wet as it used to be, though. 

Getting down to serious business, Ohio State football segued from offseason workouts to officially starting spring drills and the videos and images were more than enough to have you looking ahead to the Sept. 2 season-opener at Minnesota.  

Master and Zach look fit. 

With Harrison and Tyreke Smith set to serve as Larry Johnson's starting defensive ends, Ohio State would benefit greatly with both taking major leaps from their 2020 production. Seems like both have it in them and will be ready to roll. 

On the opposite side of the ball, Ohio State's shiny new tailbacks, TreVeyon Henderson and Evan Pryor joined the running backs room alongside Teague, Miyan Williams and others. 

Last but not least, congrats to Kelsey Mitchell are in order even though I'm not wild about the Fever's color scheme.
