I love the opportunities to beat UNC and Duke, which we've done at a surprisingly high rate. Let's do this!

Jake Diebler Has “Big Expectations” for Second Year As Ohio State’s Coach, Expects Improvement in Several Key Areas
Jake Diebler still thinks the bar for OSU should at "the very top" of basketball, though "talking about it isn't enough," and believes it will take leaps in late-game execution and rebounding.
Jake Diebler Has “Big Expectations” for Second Year As Ohio State’s Coach, Expects Improvement in Several Key Areas
“There were some clear deficiencies that we had. I think first and foremost it started with rebounding on both sides of the ball. ... Another issue for us was our free-throw rate of our opponents. We were the worst in the league at sending people to the free-throw line."
“In this league, you have to be able to change in the flow of the game. You can't change who you are. But you've got to be able to adjust. We struggled at times to do that. ... Our assist rate in practice has been a major improvement, major improvement.”– Jake Diebler on where Ohio State will be better this season
“I love coaching A'mare, and he plays the game with a joy and an eagerness to get better. I think that level of humility and just consistency is rare for young players. And so he's certainly talented, he's got some great physical tools. But he has had, not just one or two high-level practices or moments since June, but he's had multiple stretches of high-level basketball and productive basketball, which is equally hard for young players to do early on.”– Jake Diebler on A'mare Bynum
