The 2023-2024 Ohio State basketball season is underway and it’s one where the Buckeyes have a chance to surprise some people and do some damage not only in the Big Ten, but nationally.
There is a young nucleus back that helped OSU make a run in last year’s Big Ten tournament, a set of talented freshmen from the latest recruiting class, and a few key additions via the transfer portal. It’s the brave, new world of college hoops where roster turnover is a part of piecing things together each offseason.
We know you aren’t immune to it either. You get to know a guy and then he moves on from the program. So, to help with that, we’ve got the 2023-2024 Ohio State basketball roster here for your consumption as you transition from Buckeye football to Buckeye basketball.
