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

Yeah the week technically starts on Monday but we last came at you on Saturday afternoon and a lot of stuff happened the following day. 

Unfortunately for Chris Holtmann, his basketball Buckeyes bowed out of the NCAA Tournament in a loss to Villanova after an opening round win over Loyola but things went much better for the women's ice hockey team. 

Nadine Muzerall proved once again she's a hell of a coach, leading the program to its first-ever national championship. 

A Kenzie Hauswirth goal with 6:40 left in regulation iced the 3-2 over Minnesota Duluth and sent Ohio State into the history books. 

Don't forget, Muzerall inherited the hottest of messes when she arrived back in 2016 and the program's ascension under her leadership is nothing short of sensational. 

Congrats to the champs! 

In other non-revenue sports action, Kevin McGuff's basketball Buckeyes reached the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2017 in taking down Missouri State and No. 3 seed LSU. 

The win over fashion-disaster Kim Mulkey's Tigers was extra-special as it came on LSU's home floor and was never really close. 

McGuff's squad made sure to enjoy the moment. 

Ohio State's bid to reach the Elite Eight fell short in Spokane last night as the Buckeyes lost to No. 2 seed Texas. It was a banger to the end but late-game execution cost OSU a chance at the upset. Still, it was an awesome season, just ask E.T.

Staying on the hardwood, E.J. Liddell made it official, he's off to the NBA. 

And Chris Holtmann summed up E.J.'s run quite nicely. 

Shame Liddell never got to taste a conference title or a second weekend in the Dance but the dude gave all he had to Ohio State and the extra year of seasoning should pay off handsomely based on the latest round of mock drafts. Cheers, E.J. Thanks for the ride.

Kyle Young also bid farewell to Ohio State after leaving it all on the floor for the Buckeyes. 

It's shame his final season was plagued with more health issues. Nobody played harder in a Buckeye uniform. 

In the college game, as we know, as guys exits, newcomers fill the void and Holtmann's got himself a good one in guard Bruce Thornton. 

Expect to see Thornton with the ball in his hands a ton next season for the Buckeyes. 

Next up, Pro Day in the Woody Hayes Athletic Center came and went on Wednesday and a host of Buckeyes did well for themselves with reserve running back Master Teague turning heads. 

He ran fast and jumped high. 

Overall, heck of a day for a great dude. 

The sick graphics and cool messages from Ryan Day continued for the rest of the Pro Day participants. Go get it, Chris. 

Garrett Wilson is going to be so damn good. 

Jeremy Ruckert wasn't able to participate in drills due to injury but his versatility is real. 

And watch this dude become a starter at the next level. 

NPF. 

And his compadre in the trenches. 

This guy. We frankly always wanted a little bit more on the field but he clearly had an impact inside the locker room. 

Haskell Garrett - tough as nails. 

How many of these could you do? 

Alongside Garrett, Antwuan Jackson had some moments at Ohio State and is looking for more in the league. 

Can't forget Chris Booker. What a story he is. If nothing else, counting him out seems unwise. 

Pretty safe to say the NFL reps in attendance left impressed with what Ohio State's players have to offer and how the program prepared them for this moment. 

In more sobering news, Harry Miller went on The Today Show to talk about what he's been through, in an effort to help others. The man is hero, plain and simple. 

There's no acceptable transition from that. So here's the best helmet in college football. 

And Thayer's puppy sleeping on his neck. 

Buckeye sprinter Eric Harrison is faster than you. 

And to round us out this week, just take a look at the athletic department's overall success.
