Jake Diebler Says Ohio State Laying a Good “Foundation” in Preseason, Buckeyes Open First Practice to Media

Football season might be in full swing, but behind the scenes Ohio State basketball is preparing for its first full season under the guidance of Jake Diebler.

The Buckeyes held their first official practice on Monday and opened a portion of the training session for the media to view. Diebler met with the Buckeyes' media beforehand to discuss a variety of preseason topics, saying he and his staff have laid a “good foundation” in the leadup to the start of preseason practice.

Outside of Taison Chatman, who is out for the season with a torn ACL, the Buckeyes are in a good place health-wise.
