Ohio State knocked out of NCAA Tournament by No. 15 seed Oral Roberts. Five takeaways.

Ohio State went to the NCAA Tournament with momentum, but that wasn’t enough against No. 15 seed Oral Roberts who upset the Buckeyes.

We’ll miss Kyle Young and C.J. Walker

Everyone is upset right now, but let’s take the time to remember two guys that have more than likely played their last game in an Ohio State uniform. Technically, both Kyle Young and C.J. Walker could decide to come back still because of the extra year of eligibility due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but they both went through senior festivities, so it’s a long shot.

Both Young and Walker play the game the right way with hustle, grit, and leadership. Some of what they both do can’t be measured in the box score (boy could the Buckeyes have used Young today), and those intangibles will have to come from somewhere else next season.

It was fun to watch both guys and we wish them both well.
