Head coach Jake Diebler wouldn’t hesitate to point out that the performance seen from the team and program last year isn't reflective of how things should go down at the Olentangy River’s edge. This week, he seized the opportunity to discuss these issues and offer updates about the program through the Ohio State Hoops "X" channel.
