Jared Sullinger Gives Buckeyes Chance To Contend For Title

Vital to OSU's success

If you have ever wondered what people outside of Ohio thought about the Buckeye basketball team, the general consensus is that they are above average. Without Sullinger. With Sullinger, the Buckeyes can compete for and win a national championship.

"Jared Sullinger is, in my opinion, the nation's best college basketball player. And I believe he'd be able to consistently show that if he could, you know, stay consistently healthy. But that's been a challenge this season. The Ohio State forward missed two games because of back spasms, then had to leave last weekend's win over South Carolina with a foot injury."

"Sullinger returned Tuesday and put 18 points and 11 rebounds on Lamar, but what's next? A sprained ankle? More back spasms? Hopefully nothing, for Matta's sake. Because the Buckeyes can win a national championship with Sullinger."

"Without him, they cannot."

The Buckeyes open back up their season with Big Ten conference play, starting off against the Northwestern Wildcats (10-2, 0-0) tomorrow at 5:30 PM EST.
