Twenty-one games into his sophomore season at Ohio State, it was beginning to look like Luther Muhammad may never evolve into a consistent offensive contributor for the Buckeyes.
He was shooting a dismal 34% from the field and 31% from beyond the arc while missing one game due to suspension for failing to meet the program's standards and expectations following on off-court incident.
Unable to find his jumper or really any offensive rhythm, Muhammad made at least three field goals in only four of those 21 contests leading to just five double-digit performances.
The three-month struggle to this season came on the heels of a freshman season that saw him limp to the finish line after starting strong in Holtmann's program.
