The Lakers are reportedly finalizing a deal to land D'Angelo Russell and Mike Conley is headed to Minnesota as part of a three-team trade involving Russell Westbrook.
Ohio State's 1-9 stretch has been "tough for everybody on this team" but the Buckeyes still believe they're "not far off" from making a late push to close the season.
Chris Holtmann says Bruce Thornton earned captain status in a recent revote by the team and says there's still optimism that improvement will pay dividends late in the season.
The Buckeyes could get a third straight win in Ann Arbor for the first time in more than 50 years, but a loss would bring them to 1-9 in the past 10 games.
Ohio State assistant coach Jack Owens says Chris Holtmann was "fighting for our team" before being ejected and questions "why the techs were given so fast."
Losing streaks aren't a rarity in sports, especially among teams playing as badly as the Buckeyes are. The problem starts when there's no way to slow down.
Bruce Thornton says he started doubting himself amid individual and team struggles in January, but that hasn't stopped him from growing as a leader throughout the process.
Brice Sensabaugh "would be lying" if he said he wasn't hearing chatter about a potential NBA future, but is more focused on helping OSU turn things around.
Ohio State’s decline in rebounding, ball movement, shooting percentage, 3-point attempts and defensive performance all contributed to its 2-7 record in January.
Chris Holtmann isn't pleased with OSU's 3-7 record in Big Ten play and wants the Buckeyes to close out the final 10 games of the regular season "in a way we feel good about."
