Buckeyes Can Compensate for Lack of Size with Small Ball

Last April, I wrote an story about how Ohio State men's basketball would have unusual height over the next few years. Well, I'm no Nostradamus.

After the 2014-15 season, Ohio State suffered a great deal of attrition. Six seniors, gone. First-team All-American point guard, gone. Four rotation players return and seven newly eligible players will try to continue the success in 2015-16, but they will be much younger.

More to the point, they will be much shorter.
