There’s a row of small, often unnoticed light fixtures that dangle from the ceiling in Ohio State basketball’s interview room.
Standing 7-foot-1, Aaron Bradshaw waltzed onto the room’s flat black platform before a gray backdrop of Ohio State logos. He wore a wide, bright smile that flashed silver braces. Before sitting down, he looked back at the lights.
“Y’all need to clean these,” he remarked to the media contingent gathered there, drawing a laugh.
Bradshaw is one of the Buckeyes’ prized transfer portal acquisitions, a five-star prospect at center who spent his freshman year at Kentucky.
