Which is why I was begging to see him and Stewart or Ivan on the court at the same time throughout games to increases our size and hopefully rebounding. It never happened.
Same with the girls.

Ohio State Men's Hoops Misses NCAA Tournament for Third Consecutive Season
For the first time in 20 years, Ohio State has missed three consecutive NCAA Tournaments.
Ohio State Men's Hoops Misses NCAA Tournament for Third Consecutive Season
Selection Sunday confirmed what has felt official since Wednesday for Ohio State.
The Buckeyes have been left out of the 68-team NCAA Tournament field by the selection committee, failing to secure one of 37 at-large bids to the Big Dance for the third consecutive season. Ohio State will now be invited to FOX's College Basketball Crown tournament as one of two automatic qualifiers from the Big Ten.
It's the first time since the 2003 through 2005 NCAA Tournaments that Ohio State has failed to make the tourney three years in a row.
The Buckeyes were projected as a No. 9 seed for the Big Dance less than a month ago, but losses in five of their final seven games to close the season left them outside the bubble. While Ohio State holds a solid NET ranking of 41st with six Quad 1 victories and played the 20th-most difficult schedule in the country, a 17-15 overall record and struggles down the stretch were enough to keep it from a bid. OSU finished as the third team out.

Obviously Bradshaw and Stewart are extremely foul-prone, so you couldn't really play them together much for that reason because one or both were in foul trouble constantly. Ivan was not as strong of a contributor this season - let's hope with another year under his belt he will be more ready to play at the B1G level.

Ok, can someone explain two things: What is this Quad shit, and when did it start? Is that like the power 4 conferences in football? I don't watch much basketball, in general, these "against Quad 1" stats have really confused me.

Honest debate here, should we just decline playing in the NIT? I seriously think we might get bounced early and look even worse to recruits than we already do, plus the NIT is a joke and provides no value if we win it. There may be the argument to develop guys that are returning but we could just practice instead right? Being serious in saying that is an embarrassing look for a program like OSU to keep returning to the NIT and it may be a better look to just not play in it.

Close the books and throw it away. Officially on to next year…
Let’s start on the roster turnover now.

If all 3 or even 2 of our best 3 players are hitting the portal, then I’d say we need to move on from Jake. He can’t reasonably turn it around next year if our talent isn’t better than it was this Year. And by turning the Crown Tourney down I’d say Jake knows that a critical mass of our current starters aren’t going to be here in 2 weeks.
Hopefully they stay and we can give Jake another year to figure it out and win next year.

this is meeting expectations according to the AD. And some fans sadly agree with it.
From the players perspective I can see why they wouldn't want to stay. The lack of care for the program from the Athletic Department surely trickles down to them.
I'd say Thornton and Mobley are walking for sure. I could see Royal sticking around but would not be shocked if he left as well.

I went to Xavier, so they always have the higher "hopes and dreams" for me when it comes to basketball (a sport I really don't care about), but OSU basketball always had high expectations to compete, too. Sad to see the fall this far of late.
