Coming into the season, it was clear that Ohio State's strength, at least in terms of depth, was going to be in the frontcourt.
The Buckeyes added freshmen Kaleb Wesson and Kyle Young to a roster that returned sophomore Micah Potter and Keita Bates-Diop who has played anywhere from the 'three' to the 'five' this season.
However, because of spacing issues and defensive liabilities, head coach Chris Holtmann has not used a big lineup much this season, and doesn't appear to intend to moving forward. Holtmann said on his Monday radio show that he went small in a 69-68 loss to Penn State in order to create space offensively for Bates-Diop and other Buckeye shooters.
