Chris Holtmann’s inaugural season as Ohio State’s men’s basketball coach could not have gone much better.
The Buckeyes won 25 games, finished 15-3 in Big Ten play, and made the Round of 32 in the NCAA Tournament.
Now comes the hard part.
OSU lost star forward Keita Bates-Diop and guard Jae’Sean Tate, along with guards Andrew Dakich and Kam Williams.
The 2018-19 team will be led by Kaleb Wesson and C.J. Jackson among others, and it features some heralded newcomers, including four-star shooting guard Luther Muhammad and 4-star forward Jaedon Ledee.
You can watch all of Holtmann’s press conference below, as well as check out some photos from the event and some short clips featuring several other Buckeyes.
