Ohio State Has Reportedly Fired Head Coach Ryan Day.

Amidst yet another heartbreaking piece of bad news, Ohio State’s head men’s basketball coach Chris Holtmann has apparently been sacked. The suspension was imposed on the athlete because of Eason.

On Wednesday, just hours after the Buckeyes suffered their ninth loss in the previous 11 games—a 62-54 setback over Wisconsin—the revelation was revealed by Field of 68 source Jeff Goodman.

“Holtmann went to the NCAA tourney in each of his first 4 years with the Buckeyes and was set to go the year the tourney was canceled,” Goodman wrote on Twitter. “Spent three years at Butler and attended the Sweet Sixteen.” After the Buckeyes’ disastrous performance in the previous two years, Gene Smith made the decision to act now.”

After replacing Thad Matta in 2017–18, Holtmann guided the Buckeyes to a 25–9 record and a trip to the NCAA Tournament’s second round right away. Before COVID-19 struck, Ohio State was scheduled to resume dancing in 2020. He then made another appearance in the second round in 2019.

The Buckeyes made it to the Big Ten championship game and were seeded second in the NCAA Tournament in the 2020–21 season, however they were beaten in the first round by Oral Roberts, ranked fifteenth. Ohio State finished 16-19 in the previous season, which increased pressure on Holtmann going into this year after the team advanced to the second round in 2022.

OSU had a 12-2 start, but after collapsing, they are now 14-11 overall and 4-10 in the Big Ten. Although winning at least four of the team’s remaining six games would probably be necessary to give them a shot, the NIT is still a possibility.

Regarding Holtmann, his tenure in Columbus is coming to an end, but considering his background, which includes seven NCAA Tournament trips at Butler and Ohio State, he ought to be in high demand this offseason on the coaching market.

Juju Watkins, a freshman standout in women’s basketball at USC, once again stole the show during the Trojans’ 81-64 victory over Arizona on Monday. Watkins finished with 32 points in an incredible performance that has become virtually regular for her.

In addition to being another victory for USC, Watkins’ performance in the game was significant since it broke the school mark for the most 30-point games in a single season, which Cherie Nelson had held since the 1988–89 campaign. Watkins’ sixth 30-point performance has cemented her reputation as a
