|
The Buckeyes might have contended for an NCAA title if 7-3 Aleksander Radojevic, a Juco transfer, hadn't been ruled ineligible for taking a payment for playing for a Yugoslavian club team. The Buckeyes have arguably the best backcourt in the nation, but questions remain about their bench and inside depth.
