5 valuable lessons I learned as an @OhioStateHoops manager (thread):

1. How much people matter over everything else.
- There are plenty of coaches, players, & managers that genuinely care about helping you learn & grow. Surround yourself with these people & be like a sponge.

Really hope the @NCAA does the right thing with the NIT and gives us an UNLV/ Ohio State matchup……
