While a strong win over Iowa kept Ohio State's NCAA Tournament hopes alive on Thursday, it didn't get much help from elsewhere in college basketball – though it wasn't all bad. https://t.co/kZrXf2NmCi

Ohio State was 14-11 and 4-10 in Big Ten play when Jake Diebler took over.

On Saturday, they were about a minute away from pulling off the impossible, a credit to their interim head coach.

With Jake Diebler in line to become the next head coach of the Ohio State men’s basketball team, we can expect a pretty swift ripple effect in recruiting, the transfer portal, and the NIT. https://t.co/cmlKGvdfJM

Hot off my fingertips: Jake Diebler a gutsy pick as OSU men's basketball coach, but how smart is it? https://t.co/D7YHrlTLuI via @DispatchAlerts

Jake Diebler is the fourth ⁦@OhioStateHoops⁩ assistant to be promoted to head coach since 1939. Last 2 both win Big Ten in year 2. The other beat Michigan 3 times as OSU QB.

Where has Ohio State found its basketball coaches? https://t.co/jP1i22Qjkq
