HEAD COACH THAD MATTA (2005-PRESENT) In 10 seasons at Ohio State, Thad Matta teams have appeared in eight NCAA tournaments, including each of the last six. The Buckeyes own fi ve Big Ten regular-season titles, seven Big Ten tournament title game appearances, with four championships. Ohio State teams have played for the tournament title in fi ve of the last six seasons, including fi ve consecutive from 2009-13, which is a league record.

After posting a record of 25-10 in 2013-14, Matta’s Ohio State teams have compiled a record of 275-83, a win total which is the most of any Big Ten coach during the last 10 years. Matta’s record in regular-season conference play (121-53) also tops all league coaches.

Over the last fi ve years at Ohio State, Matta’s teams advanced to a second appearance in the Final Four (2012), made an unmatched four consecutive appearances in the NCAA tournament “Sweet 16” from 2010-13, own three Big Ten regular-season crowns and appeared in four Big Ten tournament title games. However, success has been the norm for Ohio State since Matta took over the program in 2004-05.

The Buckeyes, with seven undeclassmen -- one freshman and six sophomores -- on the 2012-13 roster, closed the season with fi ve wins to fi nish second in the fi nal Big Ten standings. The Buckeyes then ad- vanced to the 2013 Big Ten Tournament title game for the fi fth-consecutive year and for the seventh time in Matta’s tenure in Columbus.

Armed with the No. 2 seed in the 2013 NCAA Tournament West Region, the Buckeyes won three games, ending the season in Los Angeles in the NCAA Elite Eight. The many accomplishments were reached with just one senior on the roster.

Matta has done what he is used to doing as a head coach during the fi rst 10 years in Columbus - win. The 13th head coach in Ohio State history guided his fi rst edition of Buckeye basketball to a 20-12 campaign in 2004-05 and followed that effort with a 26-6 record and an outright Big Ten regular-season champion- ship in 2006. The 2007 season was even better with both an outright Big Ten regular-season title and the league tournament crown as well. Ohio State advanced to the NCAA title game and fi nished the season BUTLER UNIVERSITY with a school-record 35 wins against just four losses.
