It’s been a long time since Ohio State has had this much depth
Ohio State looks great this year in basketball, great great guard play, in your face defense and deep bench, could make a legit run this year

It’s one thing to play deep into the bench when you play out of conference games against directional tech schools. It’s another thing when you see the Buckeyes go about ten deep or so against the North Carolinas and Penn States. And remember, this is without the services of the injured Musa Jallow.
When you can roll through that many guys and not have that big of a drop-off speaks volumes for how far this team can go. Staying fresh, scoring with interchangeable parts, and being able to play multiple styles goes directly with depth. Ohio State has it this year, and we haven’t seen that in the last few years.
