Preseason preparations are well underway for Ohio State's 2024-25 basketball outfit.
While the Buckeyes' football team gears up for its toughest test yet this season in No. 3 Oregon, Jake Diebler and each player on Ohio State's hoops roster met with the media on Tuesday to discuss where the team is at with less than one month to go until its Nov. 4 season opener against Texas in Las Vegas.
The coach ended Ohio State’s preseason media day with a nearly 35-minute press conference. Diebler's been encouraged by most of the developments he's seen in the early weeks of preseason practice, the Buckeyes lasering in on defense most recently with what he referred to as a "defensive boot camp" this week.
