Last season, the Ohio State basketball program had a roller coaster season. After being ranked and looking like one of the best teams in the Big Ten in January, they had a heavy late-season slide that kept them out of the NCAA Tournament entirely for the third straight season.
It was an embarrassing slide after the Ohio State Buckeyes took a big swing in the Transfer Portal. Of the five guys they brought in from the portal, only one of them, Micah Parrish, ended up being any good. All of those guys are gone now, and Jake Diebler is hoping to have a better year.
