Matta has brought positive outlook to troubled program
Matta has brought positive outlook to troubled program
COLUMBUS, Ohio Some of Thad Matta's closest friends wondered why he would trade a comfortable situation as the coach at Xavier for the problems at Ohio State.
But Matta has the Buckeyes playing well in the wake of Jim O'Brien's firing and possible penalties coming from the N-C-A-A.
The Buckeyes are a surprising 12-and-five heading into tomorrow night's game against Minnesota.
Matta says he likes the progress the team has made. He says he started with a clean slate because people were telling him before the season that his players were slackers and prima donnas.
Junior captain and leading scorer Terence Dials says it's sad that the team has already exceeded a lot of people's expectations.
