Ohio State Buckeyes Fact Sheet

Big Ten

Updated March 27, 2012
Add Jared Sullinger to the growing list of outstanding underclassmen for Thad Matta's Ohio State Buckeyes; can't help but wonder how many Final Fours Matta would have reached by now if he hadn't lost so many players (Greg Oden, Mike Conley Jr., B.J. Mullens, Evan Turner) to the NBA Draft.

Sullinger is an Elton Brand-esque force on the low block, but he's not a one-man team. The Buckeyes - led by shooter Jon Diebler - can absolutely kill from the outside. It's that balance that makes the Buckeyes so dangerous, and a highly deserving top overall seed in the 2011 NCAA Tournament.
