Much as Ohio State's 2018-19 basketball season saw the Buckeyes start strong before running into problems in the heart of the conference slate, guard Luther Muhammad experienced the same slide.
An up-and-down season from a true freshman certainly isn't some kind of rare phenomenon. That said, Muhammad's drastic change in production from the first 21 games compared to his final 13 looked to be a little more complicated than just a young man hitting a wall amid the grind of his first collegiate experience.
The 6-foot-3, 185 pound four-star talent from Jersey City, NJ was at times sensational for the Buckeyes over the first ~60% of last season at both ends of the floor.
