Athletic director Ross Bjork and head coach Jake Diebler are taking a positive stance on where Ohio State basketball finished its first season under Diebler.
On separate radio programs Monday, while both expressed disappointment about the Buckeyes being the third team out of the NCAA Tournament, they feel the program is moving in a positive direction.
“Jake has done a great job of changing the culture, changing the mindset,” Bjork said on WOSU’s All Sides. “How we operate the program is at a completely different level than the previous regime. Now we just have to get over the hump, and we need to be in the conversation, to be competing for Big Ten championships (and) obviously a strong run in the postseason.
