As Ohio State Basketball Flounders, Buckeye Nation Soothes Its Weary Spirit with Thoughts of Big Dudes Doing the Little Things

Let me be clear: a six foot ten dude who weighs 260 pounds and bangs in the paint en route to three personal fouls in 7 minutes of playing time will not solve Chris Holtmann's dilemma.

There is probably no easy solution to what ails Ohio State men's basketball right now. A combination of the team being not so well put together personnel wise, a tough Big Ten, and a lack of any consistent scoring option outside of Kaleb Wesson in the 40% of the time he's not in foul trouble hurts more than anything else. I also should note that basketball has of course changed immensely in the past decade or so, and you can't really construct a team in the same way that you did back when Netflix was but a glimmer in Blockbuster's eye.
