Ohio State basketball struggles with fan apathy and disappointment

Ohio State basketball is struggling again, finishing the season with a 17-14 record and missing the NCAA Tournament. This continues a trend of disappointment, despite a coaching change from Chris Holtmann to Jake Diebler. Diebler, who was promoted to head coach, aimed to revitalize the program but has not yet delivered results. Fans are losing interest as the team fails to meet expectations, especially compared to the successful football program. The Buckeyes have a strong recruiting class, but past failures have left fans skeptical. Diebler faces the challenge of restoring hope and relevance to Ohio State basketball.
