Ohio State Basketball: The Top 5 Seasons in Buckeye History
0 of 6
Comparing basketball teams across different eras is not an easy task.
The game today is drastically different than it was back when, say, George Mikan was its most dominant force.
That being said, the task becomes that much more difficult when selecting the greatest teams from a program as decorated as Ohio State’s. Yes, the Buckeyes are better known for the successes of their football counterparts, but the basketball program is nothing to sneeze at.
In fact, there have been 11 Final Four appearances in Ohio State history—good enough for sixth of all time.
Those teams that did not at least make the Final Four were not considered for this list. After all, if enough Buckeye rosters reached college basketball’s grandest stage, it becomes hard to crack a top-five list if yours didn’t.
With that in mind, here are the top-five seasons in Ohio State basketball history.
*All stats and facts are courtesy of www.basketball-reference.com.
Honorable Mention: 1998-99 Season
1 of 6
Perhaps an asterisk may be more appropriate than an honorable mention for the 1998-99 Buckeye season.
In the official NCAA record book, this team never existed. Recruiting violations under former Ohio State coach Jim O’Brien’s staff resulted in NCAA penalties that included the forfeiture of the 1998-99 Final Four appearance and a postseason ban.
Nevertheless, this was certainly a successful season for Buckeye basketball, especially since the program had missed the NCAA Tournament entirely the previous six years. Yes, there have been better Ohio State teams and seasons, but considering preseason expectations, it earns an honorable mention.
Buckeye fans will remember this team for its backcourt of Scoonie Penn and Michael Redd, who combined to average more than 35 points a game for the scarlet and gray. Penn scored 22 points and Redd added 20 in Ohio State’s thrilling victory over Ron Artest’s St. John’s squad to earn a surprising spot in the Final Four.
No. 5: 2011-12 Season
2 of 6
Just because we are ranking the top seasons in Ohio State history doesn’t mean we have to go that far back in the history books.
In fact, last year’s team was plenty successful in its own right.
Among the highlights on the resume was a beat-down of Duke, a regular season Big Ten championship, a first-team All-American and a trip to the Final Four.
That’s not to say the entire year was smooth sailing. A stretch in February that saw Ohio State lose three of five games had Buckeye Nation fretting.
By the end of the regular season, however, the worrying seemed for naught. William Buford (whose inconsistent play was directly responsible for a large portion of the concern) capped off the 2011-12 season with a buzzer-beating (and Big Ten winning) jump shot over Michigan State.
The NCAA Tournament was a combination of gut-wrenching moments, excitement and ultimately, heartbreak. Still, a trip to the Final Four and a Big Ten regular season championship was enough to land last year’s Ohio State squad on this list of successful seasons.
No. 4: 2006-07 Season
3 of 6
The beginning of the 2006 basketball season was accompanied by the type of preseason expectations that are typically reserved for the gridiron in Columbus.
The “Thad-Five” recruiting class was on its way, key members of the previous year’s Big Ten championship team were returning and a buzz was running through the campus.
Greg Oden, Mike Conley Jr. and company did not disappoint. The Buckeyes cruised through the regular season and lost only three games (North Carolina, Florida and Wisconsin), none of which were at home.
A 15-1 conference record earned the young Bucks a regular season championship and the top seed in the conference tournament. Ohio State won each game in the Big Ten Tournament by double digits, reaffirming its spot at the top of the conference totem pole.
The victories didn’t come as easily in the NCAA Tournament. Serious scares against Xavier and Tennessee probably led to a remote toss or two in Columbus living rooms.
Ultimately, the Ohio State basketball team met the same fate as its football team that season—a national championship loss to the Florida Gators (at least we got their football coach now).
Even with a difficult championship loss, a trip to the national finals, regular season and tournament conference championships gives the 2006-07 Buckeyes the number four spot on the list.
No. 3: 1961-62 Season
4 of 6
Get ready for a pattern to close out this list of Buckeye seasons. Ohio State was good in the early 1960s—really good. In the 1961-62 season, head coach Fred Taylor led his squad to an impressive 26-2 mark and a Big Ten championship.
Jerry Lucas and John Havlicek, arguably the two best players in Ohio State history, provided the Buckeyes with one of the most formidable one-two punches in the history of the Big Ten (and college basketball as a whole).
The powerhouse Buckeyes finished with a 13-1 record in conference play and were primed as one of the primary national title contenders as NCAA Tournament play began. But they ran into a familiar foe in the national title game—the Cincinnati Bearcats.
If Ohio State fans of this generation are tired of seeing the Florida Gators blocking the light at the end of their championship tunnels, fans in the early 60s had to be sick of the Bearcats.
The 1961-62 season marked the second consecutive year that the in-state rivals met in the national championship game.
While this season ended in defeat for Ohio State, it was certainly not an unsuccessful campaign.
No. 2: 1960-61 Season
5 of 6
The 1960-61 season marked another year and another national championship appearance for the Ohio State Buckeyes of the early 1960s.
Fred Taylor’s squad, behind that dynamic duo of Lucas and Havlicek, steamrolled its way through an undefeated regular season. Coming off of a national championship season the year before (sorry, spoiler alert), it appeared as if this team would continue the program’s dominance through the NCAA Tournament.
Then came the national championship match-up with, you guessed it, the Cincinnati Bearcats. Despite an undefeated season and the fact that they entered the game as the clear favorites, the Buckeyes fell to Cincinnati in heartbreaking fashion.
Ohio State certainly has a decorated basketball program, but its history would be that much more impressive if it could have figured out a way to beat the Bearcats in the early 60s.
No. 1: 1959-60 Season
6 of 6
When ranking the best seasons in Ohio State history, the top spot is never going to be in doubt. Sure, the program has 11 Final Four appearances, but only one of those seasons resulted in the ultimate triumph—the national championship.
Stop me if this duo seems familiar—Jerry Lucas and John Havlicek led the Bucks to a Big Ten championship and a 13-1 conference record before entering the NCAA Tournament. You may have heard of another player on the roster—future Indiana coach Bob Knight came off the bench for coach Fred Taylor.
Good news though—the Cincinnati Bearcats weren’t awaiting their in-state rivals in the 1960 national championship game.
In one of the most dominant tournament performances in history, the Buckeyes won their first three games by margins of 19, 17 and 22 respectively. In the final game, the scarlet and gray cruised to a 20-point victory over California.
As if there was ever a doubt, the lone championship season ranks as the greatest year in Ohio State basketball history.
But if Thad Matta continues to win at his current pace, Buckeye fans may be treated to another one sooner rather than later.

90,000 Short film about basketball won an Oscar. This is the story of the first woman selected in the NBA Draft.

Heartbreaking drama by Lucia Harris.
Heartbreaking drama by Lucia Harris.
At the 94th Academy Awards, The Basketball Queen was named Best Documentary Short. Produced by Shaquille O'Neal and Steph Curry, the 22-minute film features one of the most important basketball players in US history, Lucia Harris.
Harris was born in 1955 in the tiny town of Minter City, Mississippi.
She was the tenth child in a family that lived by picking cotton in the fields.
All six of her brothers and one sister played basketball, and Lucia also liked to spend time at the homemade basketball hoop in the yard and watch NBA matches. Her idols were Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and - her favorite - Oscar Robertson.

Harris has always been the tallest girl in her class (before graduation - 190 centimeters). At first, she was teased "long, tall and that's all" - they say, apart from height, there is nothing to brag about. Everything changed when Lucia was taken to the women's basketball team at the school, where she quickly became the best in the squad. For three years in a row, Lucia was the MVP of the school team, set the school record for points per game (46), and was named to the Mississippi State Team.
In 1972, the Equal Athletic Act was passed in the United States, and women's teams began to form at all colleges in the country.
This allowed Harris to continue playing basketball, although instead of a local college for blacks, she had to go to Delta State University, which was located in the city of Cleveland (not only from Ohio, but from Mississippi).
Coach Margaret Wade worked at Delta State University. According to Lucia, the mentor rarely said anything before the matches, she only pulled off her jacket, on the back of which was pinned a badge with the inscription "Get them some heat."
Lucia Harris was the only black girl on the team, and although she did not communicate much with her teammates off the court, she showed fantastic mutual understanding with them directly in the game. Height and skill allowed Harris to dominate under the basket.
The first year went to the swing - the Delta State team "Lady Statesman" lost only two games out of 18, but finished third in their regional group. But in the second year of Harris' stay in the team, there was a breakthrough - the girls reached the finals of the national tournament, in which they defeated the favorites from Immaculata College with a score of 90:81.
The Immaculata women's team has won the championship three years in a row before. Given that this was a Catholic college, the team was supported in the stands by hundreds of nuns beating drums. The wish "give 'em hell" from the coach "Lady Statesman" looked especially cynical.
The first championship match between Delta State and Immaculata made a splash in the US college sports world - women's basketball attracted the interest of the audience. The women's team of the university became more popular than the men's - for its matches the arena of 4,500 spectators was jam-packed, while the men gathered from strength to crawl. The women's team also got the opportunity to fly to the games by plane, while the men traveled exclusively by bus.

In 1976, Harris, as part of the national women's team, went to the Olympic Games in Montreal - for the first time, women's basketball was included in the program of the Games.
And it was Lucia who had the opportunity to make the first accurate throw into the basket in the history of women's Olympic basketball. At that tournament, the US team took the final second place, losing to the USSR team.
Three years in a row, the Lady Statesman won the national championship, after which Lucia Harris graduated and faced the unknown. There was no women's professional league yet, and there was nowhere for her to continue playing basketball.
The summer after graduating from college, Harris married and became pregnant. And just at that moment it became known that the New Orleans Jazz NBA club was inviting the athlete to watch.
Lucia considered this a PR trick and decided that she was not ready for the NBA. She had just started her family life, and besides, competing against men is not at all the same as against women. She turned down the offer to review, but despite this, she was still selected in the draft in the seventh round under the overall number 137.
After her, 33 men were selected.
Technically, she wasn't the first woman selected in the NBA draft. In 1969, the San Francisco Warriors selected Denis Long in the 13th round, but the commissioner overturned the choice on the grounds that Long was still a schoolgirl, and the league was not yet ready for the very fact of choosing women. And since the selection was cancelled, Lucia Harris is considered the first and only woman drafted in the NBA.

Harris played professional basketball for a couple of years when, at 19In 1979, the first women's professional league WBL was launched. But still, at that time, she had already connected her life with her family and her coaching career - first she worked at her native university, then at Texas Southern University, after which she returned to work at the school where she grew up.
Shortly after the end of her brief basketball career, Harris was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. But Lucia did not regret that she could not get into the NBA - only that at the time of graduation from college there was no professional women's league.
Everyone compensated for the successes of four children, each of them graduated from the university and achieved both academic and sports success there.
In 1992, Lucia Harris became the first black woman to be inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame. During the ceremony, she was brought on stage by her childhood idol Oscar Robertson.
Lucia Harris died in January of this year, a month before her 67th birthday.

90,000 America's Top 20 College Basketball Teams
In the United States of America, sporting events are very popular and athletes are encouraged to start investing in their desired sporting career from an early age.
College sports offer athletes the opportunity to take their sport to a whole new level after graduation.
This is also encouraged because it increases the funding for these colleges and gives these athletes the opportunity to attend college at lower or almost free prices.
Basketball is very popular, so it's no surprise that college basketball is extremely popular and profitable.
What is college basketball? College basketball is basketball or leagues played by teams from various colleges and universities in the United States of America.
The most popular league is the National Collegiate Athletic Association. The NCAA is divided into 3 divisions: Division I (top level), Division II, and Division III.
Division I is divided into 2 depending on the gender of the players (men and women). Teams in each division play in annual tournaments to determine national champions. These tournaments are called "marching madness".
How is college basketball different from the NBA? NBA - National Basketball Association. It is a North American professional basketball league with players from all over the world.
Many players enter the NBA from college basketball; however, it is not the same.
The scope of this tournament is different from that of college football and is considered the pinnacle of a player's basketball career.
- The shot clock is the time allowed for the attacking team to attempt a shot. In the NCAA, the shot time is 35 seconds, while in the NBA it is 24 seconds. This means that NBA games have more points and go faster than college basketball games.
- Fouls - In the NBA, a player is allowed six personal fouls before a "foul". Only five players are allowed in college basketball.
- Possession - In the NBA, possession disputes are settled with a jump ball. In college basketball, however, possession is simply rotated between teams. A possession arrow is often placed on the scorer's table to indicate which team will receive possession in the next situation.
- Season - The number of games a team plays in an NBA tournament is about 82 games in just six months. College teams only have to survive 30 or 35 games in a season that lasts 4 months.
Despite these minor differences, at first glance, the NBA and NCAA are basically the same because the rules of basketball are the same anywhere in the world.
Why is college basketball popular in America?
Many basketball fans claim that college basketball is more interesting and has more heart and passion than the professional NBA because it is a game where every team really has an equal chance of winning the title.
This is because every college basketball game is important and there are no always good or bad teams. It's not like the NBA where the championship seems to be reserved for the Lakers and Celtics.
Minor changes to the NBA rules that make the game more professional seem to limit the need for real tactical play and are more one-on-one, which provides a certain level of predictability.
Fans and passion for college basketball games are undoubtedly the best. These college students don't need music to bring the whole stadium to life, and their passion and excitement is very infectious.
It's impossible to sit through a college basketball game without immersing yourself in the colors and euphoria of the stadium fans.
College basketball teams have the privilege of maintaining and maintaining their traditions over the years, which gives the games a certain sentimental value.
How to become a college basketball player?
The chances of a high school basketball player to make the college basketball team are very low due to the very limited opportunities available to young players.
It is important that everyone who chooses this path be realistic about their opportunities, problems and chances at any given time.
Anyone trying to make the college basketball team is expected to know their basics. This includes;
- Appearance - It is clear that anyone who wants to play basketball at a higher level must be well above average height. You also need to be coordinated, athletic and stamina.
- Skill - A ball player must have outstanding skills and talent to stand out in the eyes of these college basketball coaches.
You have to be IMPRESSIVE with a capital M. Raw talent goes a long way in getting the attention you absolutely need if you're making the college basketball team. - Work Ethic / Commitment - you should want this more than anything because it's what will get you through extremely long hours in the gym. In this case, talent can only take you so far. You'll get a healthy dose of hard work and perseverance.
If you've gotten this far, I'm assuming you've already mastered the basics. So now the most important thing is to get on the college team of your dreams.
Good grades Not only do you have great basketball skills, it's also important to remember that colleges are still for academic purposes, so you will be judged largely on the basis of your grades.
Good grades (well above average) will go a long way in getting your application processed.
Find a good team AAU The AAU is an amateur sports union.
This refers to non-school basketball teams that play in tournaments. These commands can help improve your skills and profile.
This can also give you some experience playing in a semi-professional team. They also participate in some "exhibition" tournaments, which can be your opportunity to gain some notoriety.
Attend elite/demonstration camps Some colleges have these elite camps and they can give you the opportunity to compete with peers and people with similar interests to get a true sense of your talents.
Create Highlight Videos It's not difficult because you'll need to send these videos to the schools you want to get into.
Make a list of colleges you are interested in and email them In many colleges, the email addresses of coaches and sports personnel are available on Google.
You can email them with a personal introduction, why you want to play for them and attend their school, the required personal and professional history, including applicable basketball statistics, your contact information, a link to your highlights video, and details of your school in high school.
basketball or AAU team schedule.
The benefits of playing college basketball The benefits of playing professional basketball at the college level cannot be overestimated. This is a great opportunity to get an education while constantly pursuing your dream.
On a personal level, you receive proper training with sufficient equipment available at your college, and you also gain a comprehensive academic experience with the help of some college teachers when you inevitably miss classes.
If you enjoy traveling, seeing new places and meeting new people, then college basketball can help fulfill that aspect of your soul. This gives you a great opportunity to travel around the games as well as meet people in the places you are going to visit.
College basketball offers access to scholarships. Colleges allocate certain amounts to scholarships for athletes, and as a player, you can access this funding at your college if you qualify.
College basketball games are broadcast all over the country, so it attracts attention.
This gives you the opportunity to be seen by anyone from talent scouts to coaches from across the country.
Basically, a college basketball career is worth it, even if it may be short-lived.
How are college basketball teams ranked? One of the most current ranking systems for college basketball teams is the AP Poll.
AP Poll is an Associated Press Poll. It provides weekly rankings of the top 25 NCAA teams in Division 3 college sports. These sports include football, men's basketball, and women's basketball.
The Associated Press is made up of 65 sportswriters and broadcasters from across the country. Each of them ranks all 25 teams and their individual rankings are matched for AP polls.
In college basketball, this poll is used to compare teams throughout the season. The poll is usually published every Monday and the ballots are published.
