We may be in the midst of the Ohio State football season, but basketball is just around the corner. In fact, the men’s basketball team released its complete schedule Wednesday that begins just one week from now.
Of course, the Lady Buckeyes will presumably not be too far behind and there’s news to report there as well. Ohio State junior Dorka Juhasz was one of fifty players selected to the Jersey Mike’s Naismith Trophy Watch List, the Atlanta Tipoff Club announced Tuesday.
Juhasz has already been selected to the 10-member Preseason All-Big TEn Team. She averaged 13.2 points and 9.4 rebounds last season and was fourth in the conference with 10 double-doubles. Originally hailing from Hungary, she was a Second-Team All-Big Ten and all-freshman team honoree in 2019 and followed that up with First-Team recognition last year. Want to know how good Juhasz is when comparing her to the best players in program history? She is the first Buckeye to lead the team in both scoring and rebounding in each of her first two seasons.
