When Ohio State took the court last year for the first time, not many could have foreseen the way the season played out.
Not only did the Buckeyes make it to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, they also fielded the best player in the Big Ten in Keita Bates-Diop, who is now on track to become late-first round draft pick in the upcoming NBA draft.
In the second year of the Chris Holtmann era, the roster has undergone yet another major overhaul. Gone are Bates-Diop, Jae'Sean Tate, Kam Williams and Andrew Dakich, the veteran leaders of the resurgent Buckeyes.
