FINAL RECORD
24-13, 10-8 in the Big Ten, fifth place

WHAT WENT RIGHT
G Jamar Butler was the team's only returning starter and the senior provided plenty of leadership as he averaged 14.9 points and 5.9 assists, both team-leading figures, while finishing his career as the school's all-time leader in assists and 3-point field goals. F Kosta Koufos, a freshman, was the NIT's Most Outstanding Player and averaged 14.2 points and a team-leading 6.6 rebounds. Ohio State won seven of its last eight games, including five in a row to capture the NIT.

WHAT WENT WRONG
Inexperience showed inside the Big Ten as the Buckeyes continually came up short against the conference's better teams while finishing in fifth place. G Jon Diebler, the all-time leading scorer in Ohio high school history, had a disappointing freshman year as he lost his spot in the starting lineup and averaged 6.0 points a game.

QUOTE TO NOTE
"This is what happens when you put an NCAA Tournament team in the NIT. Write that down and send it to the committee." -- G Jamar Butler after Ohio State beat Massachusetts 92-85 in the NIT championship game.

I saw an article that said Matta was going to run some man defense this year.  It's about freakin' time.  The matchup zone was alright in 07-08, but as teams got more used to it they really started to take advantage last year.  It will be good to see the Bucks running some different looks on D this season - if nothing else, just to make the opponent change things up once in a while. ...(more)

I saw where OSU commitment Jordan Siebert was cleared to play again.  He broke his leg over the summer playing with Sullinger, Craft and Weatherspoon on All Ohio Red.  Here's hoping he's healthy, stays so and signs on the dotted line in a couple weeks.

I just read this article on sullinger. this guy is going to be the next great at the Ohio State, one who could dominate the big 10.  He says he won't be a one and done.  Matta has it going man and there is no stop in him.  If lighty gets another year and turner and bufurd stay, man oh man this could be an exciting team.  Bucks rock baby!

From the COLUMBUS DISPATCH....

Could Kentucky become a fixture on the Ohio State men's basketball schedule?

New Wildcats coach John Calipari likes the idea. This week, he said he covets high-profile, neutral-court games and that he has already talked to Ohio State.

"I've talked to Kansas about playing in St. Louis in the big stadium," Calipari sa ...(more)

 Cameron Wright from Benedictine will no longer be a part of the 2010 stellar recruiting class.

He has decided to look elsewhere after the team fizzled on him after assistant John Groce went to OU.

This opens up a scholarship, but I was looking forward to him joining the team, he reminded me alot of David Lighty.

Well, we lost Mullens, which isn't a huge loss, but its certainly not addition by subtraction.  We'll lose his inside presence, and he'll be replaced by Zisis Sarikopoulos, another 7 foot center who supposedly is considerably worse than Mullens was.  However, we add Lighty back into the mix and a seasoned group of veterans who will be playing together for a third straight ye ...(more)
