After Thad Matta and assistant coach Dave Dickerson finished speaking with their team Sunday afternoon following Ohio State’s 74-72 loss to Northwestern, the Buckeyes’ locker room went silent.
Kam Williams decided it could no longer stay that way, so Ohio State’s redshirt junior guard took it upon himself to deliver a message to his teammates.
“I just felt like something had to be said after a loss like that,” Williams revealed Tuesday. “We didn’t play well at all and I just felt like someone beyond the coaches had to step up and say something. If that’s the role I’m going to have to take going forward then I’m going to take it because ain’t no one else doing it.
