On the eve of his first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance, Jamari Wheeler calls it “a dream come true” to close his five-year career under college basketball's brightest lights.
Having never heard his team’s name called in March during his previous four years at Penn State, it was a brand new experience for a college basketball veteran that has played in 156 games over the course of his career without ever playing in the NCAA Tournament.
“There's just something I was looking to for my next school and also being here where I'm at now, I wanted to help lead my team to March Madness,” Wheeler said. “So just to be able to be on this stage right now, I feel like a dream came true. And also I just wanted to play with players like E.J. , Joey , KY . Just going through that whole process again, I feel like Ohio State was the best decision for me, and at the end, I'm glad I picked here.
“Jamari has been great. We initially brought him in expecting that our guy that's with the Indiana Pacers, Duane Washington would be back,” Ohio State head coach Chris Holtmann said Thursday. “We went after Jamari right after the season last year so it was really quick. And so we thought it would be a great component there, kind of a scoring-minded 2 guard and then a guy that could really ball hawk.
