What Seth Towns' Transfer Means for Ohio State Basketball

Finding the right fit for your college basketball program isn't just about what happens on the court, but off it as well. Today, Ohio State added a key piece. How will that commitment impact the Buckeyes?

Chris Holtmann and Thad Matta both made overtures to Seth Towns, doing their best to lure him to Butler and Ohio State, when he was in high school. The Columbus native spurned them, though, to sign with Harvard.

Towns thrived in his first two seasons with the Crimson, becoming the 2017-18 Ivy League Player of the Year as a sophomore, but a left knee injury sidelined him the past two years.
