Ohio State basketball has an important season on its hands.
After an unexpected campaign last year, which saw first-year head coach Chris Holtmann winning 25 games, including an NCAA tournament contest.
Ohio State had an improbable year when they were expected to do nothing.
Of course, the team is hoping to do the exact same this year. Predicted to finish towards the bottom of the Big Ten, the Buckeyes are hoping to defy expectations and return to the Big Dance.
It may be harder this time around, however. Last season, Ohio State at least had several established veterans in Kam Williams and Jae'Sean Tate, while Keita Bates-Diop emerged to become first-team All Big Ten.
