In Athlon Sports' 2015-16 College Basketball preview, Ohio State is projected to be NIT-bound. This is why we disagree
While reviewing Athlon Sports' 2015-16 projected NCAA Tournament field in the publication's College Basketball preview magazine, something did not seem right. It was like something was missing.
Then I found it. Ohio State was not among the 66 teams projected to make The Big Dance.
Projecting the Buckeyes to make the NIT and finish eighth in the Big Ten, Athlon does not have great expectations for a Thad Matta-coached team that does not return a player who averaged double-figures in 2014-15.
