Former Ohio State basketball players William Buford, Aaron Craft, Jon Diebler, Dallas Lauderdale, David Lighty, Evan Ravenel and Jared Sullinger will take the court as teammates once again on Saturday at 3:15 p.m., when the Scarlet and Gray team will play its opening-round game in this year’s edition of The Basketball Tournament.
It’s been more than three years since any of those players suited up for the Buckeyes, and Sullinger is the only one who has gone on to play in the NBA. That means Saturday’s game, which will be streamed online on WatchESPN, could be the first opportunity for Buckeyes fans to watch many of those players on the court since their OSU careers ended.
