Chance Gray leads No. 12 Ohio State to 71-69 win over No. 9 TCU

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Chance Gray scored 22 points, Jaloni Cambridge had 18 and Elsa Lemmila added 17 in No. 12 Ohio State's 71-69 victory over No. 9 TCU in the Coretta Scott King Classic on Monday.

Gray shot 6 of 8 from 3-point range and Cambridge contributed eight assists and six rebounds for Ohio State (17-2), which has won six straight games.

The game, part of a doubleheader played at the Prudential Center on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, had special meaning for Gray, a senior guard from Cincinnati. Her great- grandfather Benjamin Hooks worked with the Rev. King and was a onetime executive director of the NAACP.

“This is obviously a very important holiday,” Gray said. “I was happy to be a part of it here.”

The game was tied eight times in the fourth quarter before Ohio State took the lead for good at 67-66 on a free throw from Cambridge with 1:10 to play.

A 3-pointer by Gray gave the Buckeyes a 70-66 cushion with 16 seconds left. TCU (18-2) countered with a 3 from Veronica Sheffey with .3 seconds left to make it 70-69 before Cambridge iced it with a free throw.

TCU had a chance to tie it after a timeout, but Donovyn Hunter turned the ball over as time expired.

Olivia Miles had 24 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists for the Horned Frogs. It marked the 48th time in her career that she posted at least 15 points and five assists.

She was just 1 of 7 from long range but 11 of 12 from the free-throw line.

Miles, a graduate student who previously played at Notre Dame before transferring to TCU this season, was playing before numerous family friends who made the hourlong trip from her hometown of Phillipsburg.

TCU committed 20 turnovers.

Ohio State hosts Indiana on Thursday.

TCU is at UCF on Saturday.

BERLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb 15, 2026--

Esslinger today announced its public-media debut in Germany and the official online launch of its Vexel Series on Esslingerlife.de, starting February 15. Built for programmers and heavy computer users, Esslinger positions the height-adjustable sit-stand desk not as a piece of furniture, but as a modular ergonomic workstation system—where the desk is the platform and the accessory ecosystem is the core solution.

Long-session strain rarely comes from one item. It accumulates across the workstation: monitor height, input posture, lighting glare, standing comfort, and cable clutter interact as a system. Esslinger’s approach is to make ergonomics practical in real setups through a coordinated set of ergonomic desk accessories that can be upgraded step by step.

Core Ergonomic Accessory Set (Ecosystem-first):

Additional everyday items include a mouse pad and power strip.

To keep multi-device workstations clean and maintainable, every Vexel desk includes integrated cable management as standard. The high-capacity enclosure is designed to fit at least 5 power outlets—truly enabling multi-device connectivity, uses ventilation openings to prevent heat build-up under multi-device loads, and features a dual pull-pin drop-down mechanism for full access and quick maintenance. Internal cable control helps secure excess cable length, and the system remains stable across the full sit–stand height range—avoiding unintended opening or cable drag during adjustment.

“ Esslinger rethinks the height-adjustable desk—not as furniture, but as an ergonomic workstation system designed for programmers,” said Werner Claassen, Founder. “Our goal is to reduce daily friction in long-session work by combining a stable platform with an ecosystem of accessories that work together.”

Availability & Pricing

Available exclusively via Esslingerlife.de for Germany and Austria from February 15, 2026. Platform desk pricing starts at €670 (cable management included). Desk + core accessory bundle starts at €750.
