Never Forget 31-0
LUTHER MUHAMMAD (JUNIOR)
What he’s done: Muhammad’s defensive prowess has made him a starter for 56 of his 64 career games. The lanky 6-foot-3, 185-pound shooting guard is widely regarded as the team’s best perimeter defender. Offensively, he’s been up and down throughout his career. His 2-point percentage increased as a sophomore (37.3 to 43.8), but his 3-point percentage dropped (37.5 to 34.7). For the second season in a row, Muhammad also went through a prolonged midseason shooting dry spell.
Next season’s outlook: Given the importance Holtmann places upon defense, Muhammad has the edge to start at shooting guard beside Walker again as a junior. He’s still expected to be the team’s best defender of guards. However, since he’ll again be a major part of the rotation, the Buckeyes will need him to take a step forward offensively. He wasn’t any more impactful on that end of the court last season than he was as a freshman.

going to take a wild guess that muhammad didn't appreciate that towns was added and that the staff is pursuing transfer guards even if it's just for his senior season. perhaps one of the drawbacks of signing sit-one transfers who arrive ready to take minutes.
anywho, we really, really need some type of guard for next year.

i mean, there was a bigger role for a player who can be trusted to make the right decision with the ball in his hands.
