The Ohio State basketball program has been tied to what Bruce Thornton has been able to give them over the past three seasons. He has been their best player almost since he stepped foot on campus, and that is no different this season as a senior.
Thornton hasn't gotten a lot of help around him in his career. It's why he's never made the NCAA Tournament. He is trying to change his fortunes this season by leading the Buckeyes to the Big Dance in his final season of eligibility. Against Purdue Fort Wayne, he showed his best.
