Ohio State’s season ended without much in the way of tangible accomplishments, team-wise.
The Buckeyes finished second-worst in the conference in the regular season, fell short of a Big Ten Tournament championship despite a resilient run in Chicago and missed the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2017. With a 16-19 record, Ohio State didn’t even earn a spot in the NIT.
Add in the most losses, worst winning percentage and longest losing streak since 1997-98, and many of Ohio State’s most memorable achievements in 2022-23 were dubious ones. But both within the Buckeye program and outside of it, there are plenty of positive thoughts about the immediate future.
