Bruce Thornton admits he hit a freshman wall and started doubting himself this past month, but the OSU point guard has continued to step up as a vocal leader amid the struggles.
After ho-hum performances in a trio of season-opening warmups against Robert Morris, Charleston Southern and Eastern Illinois, Bruce Thornton hit his stride. The highly-touted freshman point guard rattled off a subsequent nine-game run in which Chris Holtmann could hardly take him off the floor.
“It definitely hit me. You get to a point where you start doubting yourself,” Thornton said in an interview at the Schottenstein Center Tuesday. “Me, it took some maturing, especially . I need to keep my head high. I know if I keep working, do everything I do every single day, I’ll get out of it.” For Thornton, the daily wear-and-tear of a college season is a whole new ballgame. He might have known what was coming upon entering the program this summer, but actually experiencing it is a different story.
“They just be real with me and be very transparent with me. They tell me, you’re never going to be 100% the rest of the season,” Thornton said. “Playing in this league and the tournament as well, you’re going to have to be ready. You’re not going to be 100%, but you’ve always got to be ready to play the next game.”
