The Ohio State Buckeyes have defied expectations by turning their season around under interim head coach Jake Diebler. The team ended a 17-game road losing streak with a dominant win over Rutgers, buoyed by strong performances from underclassmen like Roddy Gayle Jr., Felix Okpara, and Bruce Thornton. The Buckeyes have won five of their last six games, including an impressive upset victory over then-No. 2 Purdue. Sitting at 9th place in the Big Ten standings, Ohio State is poised to take on Minnesota in the conference tournament’s second round. Despite a rocky start, the Buckeyes finished the regular season with a solid 19-12 record, showcasing their resilience and potential for success in postseason play. As they look ahead to the upcoming Big Ten Tournament, the Buckeyes have proven that with determination and teamwork, they can overcome adversity and achieve great results.
