Show Notes
Last season was a low point for the Ohio State basketball program as the Buckeyes finished 13th in the Big Ten. Will this season's team benefit from the growing pains of a year ago?
On this Wednesday Buckeye Talk, Doug Lesmerises and Stephen Means reset an Ohio State program that should have a rotation this season of three sophomores, three freshmen, three transfers and a senior. Will that work? How much will the rest of the Big Ten stand in their way? Is there an opening for the Buckeyes to take a big jump? All of that is included in this hoops discussion.
First (0:30) is a look at how the Buckeyes might fit in with the Big Ten considering what players other teams kept and lost.
Then (6:46) it's a look at the three big-time returning sophomores, headlined by point guard Bruce Thornton.
Then (19:08) it's a discussion of Brice Sensabaugh going to the NBA Draft.
Then (24:50) the potential freshmen contributors and the transfers (28:17).
Finally (46:04) what could the Buckeyes do better as program, (50:57) where does Chris Holtmann fit in among Big Ten coaches and how (56:30) should Holtmann's job status be viewed?
