Ohio State basketball coach Chris Holtmann has to be pleased with the way sophomores and a freshman played down the stretch. Here is a look at how each performed late in the season, beginning with the Buckeyes’ second leading scorer.
Sophomore Duane Washington was a consistent scorer all season averaging 11.5 points per game. However during the late season run when Ohio State won 9 of 12 games he became a more rounded player.
At times he would take over running the offense for C.J Walker, who logged a lot of minutes after D.J. Carton left the team, and did so effectively.
