Ohio State finished 16-19 . It was the first season under .500 in 19 years and the first time the Buckeyes missed the NCAA Tournament in six years. Managing it was a challenge for coach Chris Holtmann, who had led the Buckeyes to 20-win seasons in each of his first five years in Columbus. Key was averaging 10.8 points per game and 7.5 rebounds until he injured a shoulder in a collision with Purdue big man Zach Edey. Key eventually had season-ending surgery.
“It’s going to take the small things,” Thornton said. “Last year felt like a roller coaster. I'll still have that in the back of my mind. ... That's something I don't want to go through no more.”Holtmann said the Buckeyes' defense has been a weakness, and it's getting special attention during this preseason.
