Basketball Preview: Ohio State Vs. Samford

Don't get Chris Holtmann wrong. He's happy with No. 23 Ohio State's 4-0 start. He understands how difficult it can be to go on the road and beat both Cincinnati and Creighton.

But, as the coach of a relatively young, relatively inexperienced team, he's cautious to heap too much praise on his group. Holtmann wants to see development just as much as he wants to continue to see the victories.

"The biggest thing we want to continue to challenge our guys with is let's make sure winning doesn't get in the way of progress and growth," Holtmann said after Sunday's win against South Carolina State.
