Ohio State basketball was a lot of things over the last few years, most of them bad. Their effort level was frustrating. They were perpetually on the bubble, or worse. They were getting lapped in recruiting.
But then they made a coaching change, and last year’s Ohio State squad was none of those things. And perhaps most importantly, they were fun.
This year’s team, however, enters with plenty of questions. They have major production holes to fix. They don’t have a clear star. Their conference is in flux. Their coach is still a bit of an enigma.
Our comprehensive preview seeks to answer those questions and get you informed, and excited, for what should be an interesting and compelling basketball season for the Buckeyes.
