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.

Got a question about Lighty. I know he was a part of the 2006 recruiting class and has played in all 4 seasons but according to cbs he is listed as a junior. Was he medically red shirted last year due to his injury and lack of games played? Just wondering cause Im always thinking ahead and he is a big piece of the puzzle for OSU in 2010. Odds are that turner leaves after this year and there is a s ...(more)

OSU just announced that Walter Offutt is transferring.  It was not reported to where he will transfer.  He will finish the quarter at OSU. 

This clears up a scholarship/roster spot that would allow all the current players on the team to stay next year while still having enough room for the 6 incoming freshmen.

Hey, sorry to "troll" over to your team page but I had to give you all props.  Your Buckeyes looked pretty impressive tonight against the Tar Heels.  I know you all hate the final score, but the veteran leadership Ohio State has will take them very far this year.  ...The most impressive thing was coming back down 19 (against the defending champs) to make it a last 10 secon ...(more)

buckeye basketball this year has withot any doubt in my mind the strongest backcourt/wingman play to walk into value city arena in a long time. The question is  having dallas injured for the begging of the year can we match up inside well enough to beat unc fsu butler

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)
