A handful of current and former Ohio State basketball players reacted on social media to express their thoughts and emotions following head coach Thad Matta's abrupt departure from the program on Monday.
Evan Turner of the Portland Trail Blazers and free agent Jared Sullinger headlined a group of past Buckeyes who acknowledged Matta's impact on their lives.
