The official start to the Ohio State men's basketball season is almost upon us.
Buckeye head coach Chris Holtmann previewed his team's upcoming season opener with Robert Morris in a Zoom interview session with media members Thursday, and said Ohio State's young core is anxious for the season to finally get underway.
"I think they're really excited. They've been waiting for this moment." Holtmann said. "... I think there were definitely some nerves the other night, which is a good thing. There'll be nerves on Monday night for this group. More so probably than we've ever had, just because of so many new guys."
Holtmann also said he's unsure of the health status of veteran wings Justice Sueing (ankle sprain) and Eugene Brown (concussion protocol), who both sat out of Tuesday's blowout exhibition win against Chaminade.
