Not long ago, student tickets to Ohio State basketball teams sold out within a minute of their online release and up to a hundred students in up to 35 tents camped for days to watch the BasketBucks host Duke, Kansas, Michigan and Indiana in top-ranked match-ups.
The Buckeyes were a regular national power in men's basketball, boasting Final Four appearances, four-straight Sweet 16 appearances, national player of the year candidates, All-Americans and Big Ten Championships.
Then it switched.
Ohio State hasn't won an NCAA Tournament game in three years, hasn't even made the tournament in two, saw its entire fifth-ranked 2015 recruiting class leave the program early, finished with a losing record in the Big Ten in 2017, and has seen both overall and student attendance plummet in recent years.
