Ohio State’s season that began with high hopes ended up falling short of those expectations, but the 2014-15 campaign wasn’t without accomplishments and highlights.
Picked to finish second in the Big Ten, OSU (24-11) tied for sixth in the league, and after losing in the conference tournament quarterfinals, the Buckeyes earned a No. 10 seed in the NCAA tournament. They beat seventh-seeded VCU in overtime in their first game before falling Saturday to No. 2 Arizona in the third round.
That 73-58 setback in Portland marked the final game for seven Buckeyes seniors and almost certainly freshman guard D’Angelo Russell. Those who had been in the program since 2012 ended their careers with a Final Four, two Elite Eight appearances and 109 victories, including eight in the NCAA tourney.
Now that the season is over, it’s time to evaluate how each key contributor performed throughout the year. We’ll also grade the work done by coach Thad Matta and also assign a final grade to Ohio State as a team.
