Jeremiah Smith has called his shot.
In an interview with The Athletic’s Manny Navarro at the OT7 Playoffs, Smith discussed his breakout freshman season at Ohio State. That included the Buckeyes’ unthinkable loss to the Wolverines, which Smith said he still thinks about often, despite winning a national championship in 2024.
“I’m not a sore loser, but I hate losing, and losing to that team up north was pretty crazy,” Smith said. “In the end, I think it really helped us play the way we did in the playoffs. But I didn’t want to go to Ohio State and lose to that team up north.
