From Dennis Hopson to Kelvin Ransey, here's a list of the top five scorers in Ohio State men's basketball history.
Less than a minute remained in his Ohio State career, and Sam Thompson was just short of a milestone.
That now has Thompson as one of 60 Ohio State men’s basketball players to reach the four-digit mark. The first was Richard Schnittker, who scored 469 points during the 1949-50 season to finish with 1,129 in 63 career games for a 17.9 scoring average. In his final year, Schnittker was a consensus All-America selection after helping lead the Buckeyes to a Big Ten title, a 22-4 record and an appearance in the NCAA Tournament.
Oddly, while Hopson is Ohio State’s all-time leading scorer, his career average of 16.9 points per game ranks outside of the school’s top 10.A four-year starter for the Buckeyes, the 6-foot-11 Williams wasted no time making an impact for his hometown school. The product of Marion-Franklin High School, Williams averaged 16.7 points in 27 games as a freshman in 1977-78 and followed that up with a career-high average of 20.0 in 31 games as a sophomore.
As a junior, Lucas scored 671 points in 27 games and finished his career with 609 points in 28 games as a senior . His career scoring average of 24.3 points per game is second in Ohio State history, and it stands to reason he could’ve had more. In the official media guide, Lucas is described as someone who could have “scored much more if he had chosen to do so, but he was a total team player and would willingly pass up an open shot in order to get the ball to a teammate.
