Ohio State Buckeyes Fans Livid With Latest Loss Against the Wisconsin Badgers
Buckeyes fans were hoping for something different this season in college basketball with Jake Diebler as head coach. However, it appears as if Ohio State could very well not be an NCAA Tournament team once again this season. This is what some of the Ohio State Buckeyes fanbase had to say after the latest loss against the Wisconsin Badgers:
Same stuff different day, takes a slow first half and going down by double digits to finally show heart. Fitting it ended with a turnover and big missed rebound.

Wouldn’t know as it was nowhere I could watch it. Not even Big10.

I knew Diebler wasn’t the guy

A lot of Ohio State Buckeyes fans are turning on head coach Jake Diebler. Luckily for them, they are playing a team next that is also struggling and that’s Mike Woodson and the Indiana Hoosiers.
