Block's charge heading down the stretch
Ohio senior forward Gavin Block leads the Ohio roster with 87 drawn charges over his college career. The wing has appeared in 117 career games and has excelled when making all the ‘little’ plays within the course of play for the Bobcats.There will come a day, in the far-flung future, when Gavin Block will be telling friends and family about his time as a college basketball player.
And like most former athletes, he’ll likely mention how he tried to play his guts out. The difference with Block, however, is he’ll have the surgeries to prove it.
As that playing career draws to a close for Block — a 6-foot-7 senior forward from Lincoln, Ill. — that’s the one thing he hopes people remember.
