If you don't feel like reading some major gloss of Ohio State senior (point-)forward Jae'Sean Tate, this article isn't for you.
As Chris Holtmann's first Buckeye squad continues to exceed expectations and amid all the national press deservedly tossed Keita Bates-Diop's direction as a result of his own sensational season, it's Tate who is the unquestioned leader and glue-guy of the 119th edition of Ohio State basketball.
Tate's style of play and team-player mentality epitomizes why this squad has seemingly come out of nowhere to post a season-to-date record of 23-7 overall including a 14-3 mark in Big Ten play featuring wins over both Michigan State and Purdue.
