2017-2018 Ohio State Men's Basketball (24-7, 15-3, #2 Seed in B1G Tourney)

C'mon now, counting Kam and Joey Lane, we have exactly ten roster-spots filled! Official site has us as

G's: CJ Jackson, Kameron Williams, Joey Lane, Braxton Beverly

F's: Jae'Sean Tate, Derek Funderburk, Andre Wesson, Keita Bates-Diop

F-C's: Micah Potter, Kaleb Wesson

No offense to our guys, but that's the weakest looking roster of guards I've ever seen at tOSU. None of them should be starting in the B1G next year.

Be lucky to win 3 B1G games next year. They will be totally unwatchable.

9 games and counting !

Nice to see you giving Ohio State hoops more attention this season, @HenryMuto. Strange how it coincides with Kentucky dropping out of the top 25. 8D

URBAN MEYER AND CHRIS HOLTMANN COULD ACHIEVE SAME-SEASON SUCCESS NOT SEEN IN COLUMBUS SINCE 2012

90546_h.jpg


Riding a seemingly improbable eight-game winning streak and a perfect 9-0 record at the midpoint of the Big Ten regular season schedule, Chris Holtmann's basketball Buckeyes find themselves ranked No. 13 in the land.

The return to national hoops relevancy for the first time since the 2012-13 season when the Buckeyes carved a path to the Elite Eight to finish No. 6 in the final Coaches Poll represents a shockingly sudden change for a program that failed to make the NCAA Tournament over the previous two seasons, compiling a 38-29 overall record including an 18-18 mark in Big Ten play, forcing an end to the Thad Matta era.

The season-to-date success achieved from Holtmann's squad comes on the heels of another football season in which Urban Meyer had his program in the thick of the College Football Playoff race before ultimately settling for a 12-2 overall finish featuring a Big Ten title and a comfortable 24-7 win over USC in the Cotton Bowl on the way to a final ranking of No. 6 in the Coaches Poll.

Could Holtmann's first season, coupled with Meyer's success across the Olentangy River signal the impending return of a time when both Ohio State football and basketball are among the nation's elite?

Such same-season, dual-program success isn't an unheard of scenario in Columbus but is a rare enough feat that it should be recognized accordingly.

That many games, it that few days...at some point it was gonna catch up. Still, they mounted a furious comeback, even if it ultimately was for not, and took the pedtards shooting out of their minds to drop one. This team has guts.

Still, though, the one weakness is depth. Got, what, five points from the bench last night? They need more.

I didn't see Young, at all. I didn't notice any shots from Andre Wesson, either. I saw the Dakich three and a layup by Potter, so I guess that was it? Like I said elsewhere, Potter is able (and needs) to contribute more out there. Even 6 or 7 a night from him would go a long ways.
