This past season the Ohio State basketball team was thought of as one of the best in the country after winning 11 of the first 12 games. Even the loss to the West Virginia Mountaineers the final game of the non-conference schedule wasn’t a big concern.
Then the Buckeyes resumed the Big Ten schedule.
Ohio State lost 5 of the next 6 games before turning things around to finish 11-9 in the conference and 21-10 overall. One constant during the season was the play of three veterans, and another came on strong at the end.
