Three years of missed NCAA Tournaments will be enough to breed disengagement with any major college basketball fanbase and its team, let alone one that just saw its football team win a national title.
The Buckeyes were left out of the Big Dance for their third straight season on Sunday, as anticipated, which will force Jake Diebler to make changes to his program after his first year as Ohio State’s head coach.
One step we don't anticipate is that Diebler being fired, as he's under a five-year contract, was recently backed by athletic director Ross Bjork and deserves another shot before final judgments are made about his coaching viability at Ohio State.
