Ohio State basketball top ten scorers all-time in program history

If you’re still questioning the current trajectory of the Ohio State basketball squad this season, consider this: the Buckeyes are once again hovering around the NCAA Tournament bubble. Their hopes for reaching March Madness, a feat not accomplished in four years, largely rest on the shoulders of guard Bruce Thornton.

Thornton has been instrumental, delivering exceptional performances this year with averages of 19.9 points, 3.9 assists, 5.4 rebounds, and 1.9 steals over 36.2 minutes per game. A four-time captain, he recently climbed to third on the program’s all-time scoring list following a crucial victory against a ranked Wisconsin team this past Tuesday.

What’s even more remarkable is that, assuming he stays healthy, Thornton is on track to shatter the all-time scoring record for Ohio State basketball – an astounding achievement given the legendary players who have donned the Scarlet and Gray. Having already surpassed Jerry Lucas and William Buford, the question now is: who remains on his path to the top?
