COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) – With two freshmen playing major minutes and another coming off the bench last year, Ohio State came close to having a season for the ages.
Now grizzled sophomores Jared Sullinger, Aaron Craft and Deshaun Thomas are back along with senior William Buford and should make the Buckeyes a threat to go deep in the NCAA tournament again.
Top-ranked and top-seeded Ohio State, which won its first 24 games and came in at 34-2, lost to Kentucky 62-60 last March 25 at the NCAA’s East Regional semifinal in Newark, N.J. Buford hit just 2 of 16 shots from the field as the Buckeyes played their worst game of the season.
Now they want to forget that game and make everyone remember just how good they can be.
