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

The Ohio State men's basketball Twitter page sent a nice Valentine's Day gift to Michigan on Monday, tweeting out a video reliving the Buckeyes’ 68-57 win over their archrival last Saturday night. 

Buckeyes guard Jamari Wheeler got some love in a deleted scene as he celebrated for the camera before quickly returning to the handshake line. 

Later this week, the Buckeyes had some more fun after a 70-45 home win over Minnesota. 

Meanwhile, it may be the dog days of winter, but the Ohio State winter sports teams are certainly bringing the heat. Ohio State currently has 15 ranked teams.

In addition to the winter sports season, spring sports are getting underway for the Buckeyes. The men's golf team finished second in its inaugural 2022 event, the NEXUS Collegiate, and sophomore Maxwell Moldovan earned his first collegiate title in the process. 

The Buckeyes baseball team opened its season with a win over Marshall on Friday and made some history in the process. 

The Ohio State softball team is off to a 5-0 start after sweeping a doubleheader on Friday, beating Butler and South Alabama. The Buckeyes play another doubleheader Saturday afternoon.

Over at the WHAC, the Buckeyes had some fun after a winter workout.

Marvin Harrison Jr. also continues to impress.

Jack Sawyer may be on to a new trend concerning his teammate. 

Meanwhile, Dawand Jones got recognized before Kyle McCord – though they disputed why Dawand was more recognizable.

In Beijing, a pair of Buckeyes won gold following Team Canada's win over Team USA in the women's ice hockey gold medal game.

The OSU women's ice hockey team also tied its single-season wins record on Friday night with a 5-1 win over Wisconsin. 

Former Buckeye hardwood standout Jae'Sean Tate competed in the NBA’s Rising Stars Challenge on Friday night and hit the game-winner in the semifinals for Team Barry, who went on to win the competition on the first night of NBA All-Star weekend.

Cade Cunningham was named MVP of the Rising Stars Challenge, but the official Ohio State basketball account disputed that choice.
