After a disappointing 2022-23 season for the Ohio State men’s basketball team, there seems to be a little more hype surrounding this year’s team.
Yes, gone is top scorer and rebounder Brice Sensabaugh to the NBA, but the Buckeyes bring back a solid core along with one the best recruiting classes in the Big Ten.
One of those returning pieces is center Felix Okpara. He was forced into more playing time than the coaches wanted due to an injury to Zed Key. It was an up-and-down freshman year for the big man, but he showed flashes of what he could become and the experience he gained can’t be duplicated on the practice courts.
Okpara is expected to be a big contributor to a much deeper team and got the honor of getting mic’d up for the last Ohio State practice of the summer. Watch below as the Buckeye big man goes through the final scrimmage before they reconvene in the fall.
