Its been awhile since I have had a Bucknuts article. A lot of that has had to do with the fact that I am not of the school of thought that most spots talk guys are (cynical, outlandish, dwell on controversy,). I like to focus on positive stories and usually Ohio State football and basketball has given me plenty of of material. This year its not been the case for the basketball team.
The link below goes to my article highlighting why the Buckeyes are destined to sit this tournament out.

I am disappointed about the demise of this year’s team and am even told by some bucknuts insiders that team leader Jamar Butler even flirted with quitting the team. Hearing this rumor is a little unsettling, but I am glad he opted to stick out this tough season and am also glad that he isn’t the type to just shrug off losing. It was about a week ago that Butler was benched for the start of the game where he seemed to find support amongst his teammates as he sat on the bench for his first tipoff in 2 seasons.
