The [autotag]Ohio State men’s basketball[/autotag] season gets started tonight, as the Buckeyes host Oakland at 6:00 p.m. ET.
As is every year with collegiate sports, especially basketball, there is a lot of turnover. That is no different for head coach [autotag]Chris Holtmann[/autotag], and there were additions and subtractions from last years team that went 16-19, and missed the NCAA Tournament.
The team isn’t nearly as young as it was last season, with multiple veterans returning with a good amount of experience. Let’s start out by introducing the freshman class, and who should be contributors right away, followed by who will break out and the starting lineup, and my guess as to how this season plays out.
