And just like that, the Ohio State Buckeyes men’s basketball team has made it to a sneaky, 6-0 start--a far cry from last year’s 2-4 mark to open the season. Most recently, the Buckeyes broke 100 in their 41-point victory over Marshall, which is the first time that an Ohio State team has done so since 2014 as they handed the Thundering Herd their first loss of the season. The offense, led by JaQuan Lyle and Jae’Sean Tate, finally seems to have clicked. And Marc Loving, the only senior on the squad, is finally finding his rhythm.
While the wins have been decisive, the Buckeyes have certainly not slain any giants this season.
