In record alone, the Ohio State men’s basketball program is one of the Top 30 programs in NCAA Division I history. But there is much more to the Buckeye basketball tradition than victories.

Through 119 years of play on the hardwood, 106 as a member of the Big Ten Conference, Ohio State has compiled 1,668 victories and has a winning percentage of 61 percent.

When it comes to its placement in the history of the game in terms of tradition, success and the star quality of its coaches and student-athletes, Ohio State rates among the finest programs nationally and in the Big Ten Conference.

The Buckeyes have qualified for the NCAA tournament, the benchmark achievement of collegiate men’s basketball, 28 times and have compiled a record of 50-27 in the event’s history.

Three Ohio State coaches have taken teams to the Final Four, including the 1939 tournament, the first in the history of the popular event, and most recently by Thad Matta in 2012.

Individuals have been selected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame

Since 1947, 53 Ohio State basketball players have competed for roster spots on National Basketball Association teams as league draft selections, including 24 first round draft picks. Greg Oden, Mike Conley Jr. and Daequan Cook were all taken in the first round during the 2007 NBA Draft with Oden going No. 1 (Portland), Conley No. 4 (Memphis) and Cook No. 21 (Philadelphia). All had just completed their freshman season at Ohio State. D’Angelo Russell is the most recent Buckeye selected in the draft’s first round. He was taken with the No. 2 pick by the Los Angeles Lakers in 2015. Jared Sullinger went to the Boston Celtics with the 21st pick in 2012. Evan Turner (2010, Philadelphia), B.J. Mullens (2009, Dallas then traded to

Oklahoma City) and Kosta Koufos (2008, Utah) also are recent opening round Ohio State selections. Ohio State has had 61 players all-time on an NBA roster. Roger Jorgensen (Lettered at Ohio State in 1941/Pittsburgh Ironmen), Arnie Risen (1944-45/Boston Celtics ) and Don Grate (1944-45/Sheboygan Red Skins) all played in the NBA during the pre-draft era.
